Title: 27 Items sponsored by the 12th Annual Bunny Hop
Body:

Monday afternoon edition.  Getting this out each Friday should not be that difficult but life/work has been busy.

Of course, I still have been able to get to some good events (Red Ball, Beerfest, McPattyfest, Mike Gordon concert, and skiing).

I did pick up the new Motorola Droid.  Everyone seems to love the phone besides me.  I find it to be very slow.  Not sure if I will keep it or head back to a Blackberry. 

Have you seen how our state is using our tax dollars?  This has been all over the press but in case you missed it.   

For those still thinking of going after the $8000 federal tax credit before the April 30th deadline, mortgage rates are still your friend.  From Friday: 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 4.95 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending March 11, 2010, down from last week when it averaged 4.97 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 5.03 percent.  And I saw this article about Philly neighborhood names and thought it was worth sharing.

22) JOB OPPORTUNITY

We are a small company in the pet industry that is launching a new territory in Chicago at the beginning of this summer.  This is a very unique type of business and an INCREDIBLE opportunity for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit. We are looking for someone we can train to be to team leader/manager within 1 year.  Team leaders can easily make at least 100k+ depending on their performance.  Prior to becoming a team leader you can expect to average $900 /week (conservatively) on weeks that you work. You will be working along side the regional director and will be expected to help out in all aspects of the business.  You MUST be a hard worker and a quick study.  Our company recognizes, rewards, and requires hard work.  Long hours are not uncommon.

The training would start in South NJ (room and board can be supplied).  You and the regional director will relocate to Chicago IL in May/June to begin the launch of the Midwest.  This is a rapidly growing company with huge long term potential for someone with the right drive.  You will gain incredible experience and knowledge about launching a new business while being closely mentored by an industry professional.  This is NOT multilevel marketing or anything like that.  This is a very legitimate, very successful company looking for the right people to help it grow.

Some facts about the job: -Realistic 6 figure earning potential within 1 year. -This job includes -all expense paid- travel (by car) 4 days a week.  You MUST be comfortable traveling.  -This job is in the pet industry; you must appreciate animals as pets and be comfortable working with them. -Valid drivers license BIG plus. -Military background BIG plus. -Must be a fast learner. - Must be articulate, energetic, and trustworthy. -All staff works off a strict sales script which you will be required to memorize word for word. -No experience necessary. -No resume required. 

Ultimately we’re looking for a “right hand” to the regional director; someone we can count on for everything and anything . If you are selected training would begin ASAP.  If you really feel that based upon the above description you would be a good candidate and would like to know more about the job, please email us at petjobs1977@gmail.com with a description of yourself, why you think you'd be good at this job, and contact information. Do not just send your resume, we don't need a resume! If you send me your resume and nothing else we will not read it because it proves that you didn't read this.  It would be very helpful if you type your email address in the BODY of the email.

MORRIS ANIMAL REFUGE  www.morrissanimalrefuge.org

The Morris Animal Refuge offers innovative and high quality care for cats, dogs and other small animals. The Refuge provides a full range of preventive, protective and adoption services for abused, neglected and abandoned animals. You can make a direct, and immediate impact on the lives of one of these animals by "saving a life today", 

The Morris Animal Refuge adoption services cover the Greater Philadelphia Pennsylvania Region only; consisting of an area in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. In more than 135 years, no animal has ever been turned away from our door.

The Refuge, the first in the United States to care for cats, was founded by Elizabeth Morris, one of our nation's pioneers in animal welfare, in 1874. The Refuge continues to operate today in Center City Philadelphia at its home at 1242 Lombard Street.

The Refuge is run by a small and dedicated staff whose primary responsibilities include animal care, adoptions and humane education. Our volunteers provide many hours of additional support with all phases of animal care and fund raising.

The Morris Animal Refuge is a nonprofit organization as determined by the Internal Revenue Service under their code, section 501(c)(3). The refuge is dependent on the community's tax-deductible contributions to provide a second chance for these deserving animals

 27)  Avalon Shore House Happy Hour Meet & Greet

The Urban Saloon - 2120 Fairmount Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19130

Avalon Shore House Happy Hour Meet ; Greet, sponsored by Tom Stolle. Ever wonder why there’s not much happening around town on summer weekends? That’s because everyone’s in Avalon. Want to join the fun? Then consider joining an Avalon shore house sponsored by Tom Stolle. Five houses to choose from on 24th, 27th, 28th, 79th, and 80th Streets. The following age groups are available (each house is different): mid-20s to early 30s, 30s, 30s and 40s, 40s and 50s. Have you ever experienced a summer shore house? Basically, singles and couples come together to share a house. It’s an opportunity to meet other like-minded professionals who are looking to make new friends and have a good time. This won’t be a flop or frat house situation. The cost is $1,650 for a half share (every other week), but depending on the house you pick, your season will be either 9 or 10 weeks. The full season cost is $3,000 for double the weeks. This setup couldn’t work without some structure, so there will be reasonable rules. And since everything's in writing, there won’t be any surprises once summer gets started. You may be a little apprehensive about joining a group when you don’t know anyone, but don’t be. Most of the people joining every summer come on board by themselves. But to help allay your fears, everyone will have a chance to meet each other and see the house in person before making a decision. So why not stop by the Urban Saloon in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia on Friday, March 19th for a happy hour from 6-9pm and meet your potential roommates. Get your first free drink if you order an appetizer. Plus, we will have drink specials ($3 domestics, $4 craft beer, $5 wine & call drinks) and there is free on-street parking right there. Since you don’t have to make a commitment, you have nothing to lose. And if you want to see the houses, there will be an open house in Avalon on Saturday, March 20th. If interested in getting more information, contact Tom Stolle at tmsavalon@aol.com or 215-272-1379.
