A nice change of pace in the world!

NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson has awarded nearly US$1 million in education grants to school districts in California, North Carolina and Oklahoma.

Johnson, who wrapped up his record fourth consecutive Cup championship in the Nov. 22 season finale, received more than 80 applications from schools in districts both he and his wife, Chandra, attended, as well as the greater Charlotte area, where they live.

Monday's grants from the Jimmie Johnson Foundation totalled $922,000. The awards included $347,000 toward science and technology needs, $357,000 for outdoor classrooms, playgrounds and athletic facilities and $27,000 for accelerated reading programs.

The Johnsons awarded the California grants at a special ceremony at Crest Elementary, in El Cajon, Calif., a school the driver attended. That school received $45,900 to create hands-on activities in science, technology, health and fitness, the arts, and after school programs.

His other two alma maters also received grants. Greenfield Middle School was awarded $31,572 for a lunch area and equipment, while Granite Hills High School received $31,155 to assist with stadium renovations.

Car donation in Florida!

Do you have a used car that you do not drive anymore? That old vehicle may be filling up and using up so much space in your garage. No matter how you assess it, you cannot think of any other good use you can have for the old car. Did you know that you can make them more useful? Why not consider car donation?

For quite some time, car donation has been a good and widely adopted practice. There have been numerous car owners who face the problem of disposing their old cars. Selling can be a good option but doing so may incur additional and costly charges in the form of taxes.

Works of Life has the best donate car program out there. Check them out at http://www.onlinecardonation.org/

U.S. consumer spending rises, jobless claims tumble

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer spending and housing sales rose more than expected in October while new claims for jobless benefits fell sharply last week, suggesting the economic recovery was gaining traction.

An unexpected decline in orders for long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods, however, tempered some of the optimism and was a reminder that recovery from the most brutal recession in 70 years would be gradual.

The Commerce Department on Wednesday reported that consumer spending, which normally accounts for over two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, increased 0.7 percent last month after falling 0.6 percent in September. That was above market expectations for a gain of 0.5 percent.

Donate used Boats and Cars for a charity!

Again an idea I never heard about. The project itself (I mean the title) sounded strange at first, but I recognised an entire, well developed fundraising system behind with a good purpose.

Well, Donate Boat is an initiative about encouraging people to donate their used boat or yacht. Why even boats and yachts? I have no idea:) They write on their website: We love yachts!!!:) But they accept cars too. So they also love cars!

But actually its not for their own purposes. Boatswithcauses.org sell the donated boats and yachts and from the money they create and distribute to children and families that need help. If you click on the link you can see some reviews.

http://boatswithcauses.org is part of Works of Life.

Florida State, no longer the sunshine state, the GIVING state! Donate Boat!

Florida has a long tradition of being a caring state and this is proven by the many boat donations Works of Life gets! Works of life uses the boats to raise funds for the various causes they support. As a Florida resident I support Works of Life and boatswithcauses.org

Now we usually talk about boat donation....but

We usually talk about how to donate boat to charity, but I came across an interesting Real Estate Stock book. I went to REITbook.com and found this gem by the Wellfleet Group. Its just a thought as I think it would make a great stocking stuffer.

I donated a 65' motor yacht to Works of Life. They were very kind with my boat donation. Works of Life helped me every step when I donated boat to charity. I was able to get a 300,000 tax credit with the boat donation. Thank you Works of Life and keep up the good work.
