Energy Saving Tips

Energy Saving Tips

Can you believe the holidays will be upon us in just a few short months? Time to add a few dollars to our pockets and get saving! Below you will find some energy saving tips from Old Republic Home Protection:

*Programmable thermostat - This is an inexpensive update you can make that can save you big! Set it to turn down the heat overnight or while you are away working for the day and see the savings add up.

*Change your light bulbs – Looks for fluorescent lights with packaging labels that read “Energy Star.” Bonus? These light bulbs last a long time so you won’t be running to the store for replacements...saving gas!

*Give your dishwasher a break – Let your dishes air-dry instead of running the drying cycle on the dishwasher.

*Turn off electronics – Don’t let your computer or other electronic items sit idle while you are away.

These are just a few ways you can make a difference in your energy consumption and your wallet! For information on energy saving tips, please visit: Energy Savers.

Ask Gina & Company and Keller Williams Realty is proud to announce the first annual Ice Out Hunger charity event to be held September 17th from 4:30PM-6:00PM at the Ashburn Ice House! The event, sponsored by Champion Title, will directly benefit our local community with funds raised going to the Loudoun Interfaith Relief, a food bank with a mission to feed the hungry in Loudoun County.


In addition, a portion of the proceeds will benefit one of our younger Loudoun County neighbors, Mitchell Sylvain. Nine year old Mitchell suffers from Periventricular Leukomalacia and Lennox-Gestault Syndrome, conditions similar to Cerebal Palsy with seizures. Our goal is to help make his home more handicap accessible, making the daily functions we take for granted a little easier for him and his family.

Tickets for the event are $10 for a group of 4 skaters and includes skate rentals and one raffle ticket. Individual skaters are $3 and also include the skate rental and one raffle tickets. Want to increase your chances of winning a great raffle prize such as skating lessons, a gift certificate to a local restaurant, or a 3 hour consultation with Organizing Maniacs? No worries!

Loudoun County School Schedule

Loudoun County School Schedule

Yep, we can hardly believe it either, but summer is dwindling down and the 2011-2012 school year is about to begin! This year, students will find themselves hitting the books a little earlier with school beginning on Monday, August 29th rather than the usual after Labor Day start time.

Loudoun County Public Schools received a waiver for weather allowing the change from the required Virginia state law after Labor Day start date. No worries, students, this doesn’t mean extra time for you – your 2012 summer vacation will start 8 days earlier!

Ask Gina & Company wishes you all a happy and safe school year!
