Memorial Day message and Upcoming events




header 600
"For love of country they accepted death."
-- President James A. Garfield
Unfortunately, some have come to see Memorial Day only as a day off to barbecue or socialize with family and friends. But on this Memorial Day, and every day, it is important that we remember our fallen heroes and their families for the sacrifices they made to protect and preserve the freedoms we enjoy.
It is our duty and responsibility to celebrate them and their memories so their sacrifices will never been forgotten.
The men and women who serve in our country's armed forces put themselves in harms way everyday and are prepared to pay the ultimate price to protect and preserve our way of life. Let each of us say THANK YOU to our veterans and their families this Memorial Day.
Warmest regards,
Elgie R. Sims, Jr.

Welcome Home Illinois Program
Although the housing market has shown a steady recovery over the last few years, a restrictive lending environment is preventing many credit-worthy households from becoming homeowners. First-time buyers are especially hurt by tougher credit standards and are disappearing from the market, slowing the pace of the housing recovery. In order to become homeowners and begin building equity of their own, many need an extra boost.
Welcome Home Illinois is a loan program launched by Governor Quinn on April 1 to help make homeownership a reality for Illinois' first-time homebuyers. The program provides $7,500 in down payment assistance with an interest rate as low as 3.99 percent for a secure, 30-year fixed rate mortgage.
It is important to note that households who have not owned a home in the last three years are considered first-time homebuyers.
For more information, please visit: to www.WelcomeHomeIllinois.gov
Call 877-456-2656 today to learn about the resources available through the state that can make homeownership a reality.
