Thinking about donating blood? 
Did you know that every minute of every day, someone needs blood? That blood can only come from a volunteer donor, a person like you who makes the choice to donate. There is no substitute for your donation.
When you make a blood donation, you join a very select group. Currently only 3 out of every 100 people in America donate blood.
It could not be easier…donating blood takes so little time, and can literally change someone else’s life.
Ford’s Colony has made it so easy to do – on Friday, April 8th, you can donate blood between the hours of 11am-4pm at the Swim and Tennis Club.
Call Christopher Schwenker, Jr. at 757-258-4270 to make an appointment to donate blood. Or, you can email him at cschwenker@fordscolony.com.

The Ford’s Colony ‘Colony Kids’ is back in action! Ford’s Colony is home to many kiddos and they need fun things to do just like their parents. The Homeowner’s Association just announced that there are four planned activities this year for kids under 12 years of age.
They are looking for additional volunteers who would like to help out with the program and may also have ideas to for future events.

From the Ford’s Colony Home Owner’s Association:

So how many homes ARE for sale in Ford’s Colony? We are beginning 2011 with 124 homes ‘active’ on the Williamsburg MLS. 105 of those are single family DETACHED homes. 19 of those are ATTACHED (condos or townhomes) properties. There are currently 7 additional properties detailed as under contract and pended. Those are homes that are set to close. (There are a few more detailed as ‘under contract’ but may have contingencies that are yet to be remedied like a home inspection, buyer financing, third-party bank approval or sale of the buyer’s own home. Those homes are counted in the 124 homes that are active on the market)
The number of homes on the market is actually down significantly from some of the peaks that we saw in inventory in 2009 -2010. The number of re-sale properties actually spiked to the low 200′s (ACTIVE resale on MLS) so a number as low as 124 is really good. Also consider that Ford’s Colony has over 2400 completed home sites which would equate to roughly 5% of the market for sale.
