Some Helpful Workshops This Saturday

October 15, 2010

This weekend the Neighborhood Housing Services of the Inland Empire, a non-profit for homeowners, will be offering a free foreclosure prevention workshop at their location at 1390 North D Street in San Bernardino. The workshop is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

The workshop will be given in partnership with GMAC.

Homeowners at risk of losing their homes can attend the workshop and obtain information regarding loan modifications and regarding the process for foreclosure in California. Homeowners wanting to discuss options for mortgage relief can complete a Neighborhood Housing Services loan modification packet at http://www.nhsiehelps.org/ and bring the packet along with the required documents to the workshop. RSVP at 951-530-1549. This workshop is free and it would be wise to make a reservation.

A second workshop that will be useful to residents of the Inland Empire is being offered by the East Valley YMCA on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. It will also be presented on Monday at 6 to 8 p.m. and on October 23 at 9 to 11 a.m. It will also be offered at the Highland YMCA on October 25 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Entitled Camp Quake, the goal is to get local families into a survival mode ahead of a major earthquake event. The workshops are open to the public and are timed to coincide with the Great California ShakeOut drill, scheduled for 10:21 a.m. on Thursday, September 21.

Camp Quake activities include creating a shopping list, learning how the community is prepared, starting neighborhood networks, hearing quake legends and swapping quake stories. A realistic video will be shown which will also help to increase folks' awareness of the events that take place during a major earthquake.

The cost is $5 for fill YMCA members, $10 for basic members and $15 for non members. An emergency backpack will be raffled off.

To register call Veronica Bulaich at 909-798-9622, ext.210.
