Episode 58: Meadowood

02/10/20 • 44 min

At Home in Bloomington is about finding community. And that's literally what this episode is about. Community. And it's one of Deb's most favorite places on earth. If you’ve heard her talk, then you’ve probably heard her talk about it. No, it’s not Disneyworld. But we kind of love it for the same reason. The people there are always so happy and having fun. We're talking about Meadowood, a senior living community., but really a center of community for Bloomington. On this episode of At Home in Bloomington, we talk with Kathy Norris and Sandra McGow about what Meadowood is and has to offer as a senior living community, But we also talk what Meadowood has to offer to the entire community. You will be blown away by the free events that are available there on an almost daily basis. So whether you are planning for your future or just looking for a new way to explore today, Meadowood is a wonderful community resource.
In our throwback episode, we revisit At Home in Bloomington guests Paige Freitag and Erin Martoglio from episode 36. We met them at a presentation at Meadowood and learned so much about estate planning that we knew we had to share with our listeners. And in our REAL-List segment, Deb presents a few of her 10 Commandments for sellers. Planning on selling? Plan on listening to this!

Episode 57: Bloomington Volunteer Network

Are you new to the community? Or maybe just want to make more friends? Today's show is a two-fer. Because you can meet people and make friends while making a difference. Volunteers are vital to so many organizations in Bloomington. And we are lucky enough to have a city government that recognizes that. In fact, in 1980, when then Mayor Frank McCloskey established the Bloomington Volunteer Action Center, it was only the 2nd center of its kind in the country (the first being New York City). So the belief in the value of Volunteering runs deep in Bloomington. How can you get involved? What are the requirements? How can you get your kids or entire family involved? We discuss these questions, along with how non-profits can take advantage of this resource, with the Director of the Bloomington Volunteer Network on this episode. Tune in and make a difference!
Also, we throwback to At Home in Bloomington, Episode 29 with Cheryl Smith of Consider it Done Transition Services. Learn how to declutter and put some of your unneeded items to good use with local non-profits. And in our REAL-List segment, learn about a popular technique buyers use to reduce the money out of pocket at closing! Sounds like a good deal!

Episode 59: Whole Sun Designs

Today’s show is about magic. Not the pull a rabbit out of a hat or guess my card magic. Real magic. Turning silent sunshine into music and hot beams into freezing cold AC. The magic of solar power. We welcome Ryan Zaricki, owner of Whole Sun Designs to talk about the process of integrating solar power into your home and all the benefits that come along with it (and how to make the most of those benefits). This show is about what a homeowner needs to know about solar. We don't get too deeply into the science of solar. Because we'd prefer to just consider it magic!
