This Friday, June 12th, I will once again volunteer for an event I look forward to all year long, the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse
. This year the event I am volunteering at is “RAISE A GLASS TO HOPE” GARDEN COCKTAIL PARTY, sponsored by AirTran Airways, Friday, June 12, at the Showhouse, 6 to 9 p.m.
Come tour this year’s Showhouse and join me for an evening in the garden with drinks, including a specialty cocktail, light fare, and silent auction as we Raise a Glass to Hope. Reservations are $60 per person.
I love this event for the good it does for cancer research. I also love the format of the event. Bringing artists and designers to great Milwaukee homes and showcasing their marvelous talents. We should be proud as Milwaukeeans to see the wide array of talents right here in our own community. One of the artists I know is showing her artwork in the Boutique, Paula Christensen of Paula’s Palette. The Showhouse Boutique is Sponsored by M&I Bank.
Visit the boutique before or after your tour for unique treasures from favorite past vendors and exciting new ones. Take this opportunity to shop for the holidays, birthdays, and other celebrations. Open for the Preview Party and during Showhouse hours. Also open to the public without a ticket.

In Ozaukee County on June 12 - 14 Thiensville Park will hold Lionfest. Thiensville is a village in the heart of Mequon. The size is one mile by one mile. Thiensville Park is lush and boarders the Milwaukee river. It is a small town with predominately single family homes and quite quaint. At this festival neighboring residents and guests from afar enjoy food, drinks and live entertainment. Even amusement rides and games. It is fun and relaxing and quite a lovely site to see people reunite and be proud of their area.

Calling all buyers: buy now for the best rate and the best deal! While rates are still at a historic low, they have inched up from below 5% a month ago to 5.625% today for a 30 year fixed rate conventional mortgage. Obviously increased interest rates mean increased monthly mortgage payments but luckily prices are still low and sellers are ready to deal!
One tool to keep the monthly payment low is the “Rate Relief Program” offered by Wisconsin Mortgage Corporation. This program allows sellers to permanently buy down the interest rate, thereby lowering your monthly payment and/or allowing you more purchasing power as a buyer.
Need more info? Email ddietz@shorewest.com or call 414-587-8560…I’m here to help and specialize in helping first time home buyers!

Summer is finally here and the Shorewood Men’s Club will hold its 38th Annual Chicken Bar-B-Q on Saturday, June 13. The event is held at Atwater Park and people come from all around to this event. Atwater Park is at the top of a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Below the bluff is Atwater beach and at this event the sandy beach is opened for summertime enjoyment. It is such a nice day. People come with their blankets and sit by one another and enjoy the weather and live music. 
The Men’s club has ¼ chicken dinners for $7, ½ chicken for $9, whole meal deal for $19, whole chicken that is prepared and freezer wrapped for $14 All meals except the freezer packed one comes with potato salad and corn bread. How Yummy. They also have dessert stands, beverages, and take-out orders. The event feels like a small town in an urban setting.

The answer is easy. Whitefish Bay is a very active family oriented community with events for every age.
The month of April has “Green Day in the Bay” and last year over 500 volunteers helped clean the village.
Various dates in June through August there is a community ice cream social located at the School House Park where friends and neighbors meet up with one another.
July is the 4th of July celebration. It starts with a parade going through Silver Spring leading to Klode Park where the festivities continue with live entertainment, food, games and prizes ending with the fireworks.
August has a summer music festival on Silver Spring.
Fish boils in the fall.
In October, at School House Park, pumpkins are carved and displayed for residents and incoming viewers. There is a day with music and food and spooky stories at the library.
Whitefish Bay even has the Bay Players that holds productions over the year.
If you are new to the area, you can join North Shore Newcomers. Click here for more information.
Whitefish Bay even has a recreation department. They have various classes for children and adults such as swimming lessons, tennis, exercise and much more.
Not to mention Whitefish Bay is known for their “top notch” schools.
It also has many shops.
The homes range in price but there is a home for everyone from a multi-million dollar mansion on the lake to a modest two bedroom cream puff.
There is so much to offer, I can introduce you to the area.
