Edmonds Yacht Club
I didn’t recall seeing Tiger Woods at the banquet this year although we celebrated the year of the Tiger. Oh that’s right I’ve got the wrong Tiger its the Chinese year of the Tiger. If you haven’t seen the new Edmonds Yacht Club here’s your chance it was finished in record time I believe Rotary had the pleasure of meeting there first. But this year’s Edmonds Chamber annual banquet was held there and it was grand evening. Hope you enjoy the photo’s taken by Larry D. Pifer Michell P dad, just kidding.

Well many of you who follow my blog or know me may have wondered how I keep these beautiful dreads of mine together. Well I’ll tell you how, its my new stylist I found Jeannee Carr. She was first mention to me by fellow Edmonds Chamber Ambassador’s once they figured out that it was to much for me to handle alone. Jeannee introduce me to a new method call Interocking and here it is. Now having said that I can’t take any thing away from Shannon a stylist in Seattle who took very good care of me. But everything changes in life including your stylist. Here she is!!

There’s a new stylist in town and her name is Jeannee Carr of Loc’d Up a innovative style of locking up your hair for a dread look called Sisterlocks and or Nappylocks. One of the great things about Interocking is that you don’t have to cut off your relaxer in order to start them. All you need is 1½ inches of new growth at the scalp to start the locks. Jeannee’s sister stylist also is a great artist and does beautiful color, cuts, and styles. So move over Edmonds, Lynnwood salons there is a new wave of stylish hair in Snohomish Co. If you are interested in finding out more information or a consultation with Jeannee contact her on line @ jcarr@locdupsalon.com. I’m certainly glad I found Jeannee through a contact from the Edmonds Chamber Network Breakfast. Located @ 16825 48th W Suite 102 Lynnwood Wash. Creative Workspace tenant

New FHA Lending Policies
Recently, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announced some lending changes. If you or someone you know is considering an FHA loan, some of these changes may affect you. Here’s a brief rundown of the major changes.
Increased mortgage insurance – The mortgage insurance premium (referred to as private mortgage insurance by many people) will be increased from 1.75% to 2.25%. This change will add some cost to purchasing a home, but will not overburden consumers since the mortgage insurance is paid over the life of the loan, rather than upfront at closing.
New down payment and credit score requirements – According to the new policy, homebuyers who have a credit score of at least 580 may still be able to purchase a home with 3.5% down, but those with credit scores of less than 580 will be required to put down at least 10%.
Reduced seller concession – The seller will now only be able to offer the homebuyer 3% to help defray closing costs, as opposed to 6% under the previous policy.
The bottom line is that the changes will impact some homebuyers more than others. But in the end, the FHA is still committed to providing affordable home loans.
