Dale Dunning founded “Jusst Sooup Ministries”while she was in Bible College, starting off with a crock pot and a hot plate to make soup for her classmates after theology class. Today, along with her husband Ken and son Brooks, wakes up at 2 a.m. every day to provide meals at 17 soup kitchens for those in need across the state of Delaware. The Dunnings have been living in a rental home that is basically a converted storage facility for “Jusst Sooup”. But they store massive amounts of food, and their small home can’t contain it all. Their dream is to create the “Jusst Sooup Ranch,” which would be a house the Dunnings could move into and where they could run a large-scale kitchen to feed needy families across the state. It would also be a place that provides shelter, food, and support for families in need, helping them get back on their feet, enabling them to then invite other families to take their place in micro-homes on the property. Dale envisions “Jusst Sooup Ranch” having a garden, crops and a small farm to provide food.
Tune in on November 18th to learn more about this one of a kind project!!
“Hollywood Glamour” was in the air as party goers danced the night away at the 24th Annual Beebe Ball last Saturday night.
Tommy (who is on the Beebe Medical Foundation Board) and I have enjoyed attending the Beebe Ball for several years. However, this year’s event was extra special!! Beebe supporters decorated the dinner tables with spectacular designs celebrating Hollywood’s famous 50’s and 60’s era movies, actors and actresses. Our table was decorated as a Liberace theme.
The energizing sounds of Big City Band filled the room and kept the crowd dancing! There were silent and live auctions featuring fabulous items donated by local businesses as well as amazing packaged trips. Tommy bid on a beautiful leather vest for me, and he won! The money raised at this year’s event will help with the completion of the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing at Beebe Medical Center.
It was definitely a night I will always remember!! Author ~ Connie Cooper
Typically, many buyers are eager to move and get settled in before the school year and holidays begin but that doesn’t mean you should be discouraged. While the spring is considered a peak selling period, I recall looking for a home in the winter months and successfully closing just after the New Year.
The fourth quarter of the year can cause some sellers to worry if their home hasn’t sold yet. But according to Trulia.com, there is still time to sell.

“After falling to a 13-year low during the second quarter, the homeownership rate posted a highly unexpected rise in the third quarter, according to a Census Bureau report.”
There have been a growing number of reports announcing the death of American homeownership over the last two years. Some have said we are evolving into a rental society and even challenge the long standing belief that homeownership should be a part of the American Dream. They look at the falling rate of homeownership as proof of their point. Others say that the younger generations no longer see the value in owning over renting.
However, this past week, two news items might refute these points. First, DSNews reported the homeownership rate actually increased in the last quarter; the first quarterly increase in two years.
“After falling to a 13-year low during the second quarter, the homeownership rate posted a highly unexpected rise in the third quarter, according to a Census Bureau report.”
Then, Fannie Mae released their 2011 3rd Quarter National Housing Survey. We will cover this report in more detail on Wednesday. But we do want to mention a few findings the report highlighted. Both Generation Y (birth date mid-1970s to mid 1990s) and Generation X (birth date mid 1960s to mid 1970s) have stronger beliefs in the importance of homeownership than those of the general population.
Here are the numbers for the three major reasons to buy (as per the survey) with the percentage who believe in each reason:
