At the beginning of each year we budget to help local charities & schools. Here are a couple of our favorite charities. OUR NEIGHBOR'S CHILD This exemplary organization was started right here in the Centreville community and provides holiday gifts to less fortunate children in western Fairfax County. They make a huge difference in the lives of 100's of families in our community. According to their website, whether you have a little or a lot of time to give - they have just the opportunity for you! In addition, while most gifts are collected at area churches, schools and businesses, they do need monetary donations as well to fill gift requests. ALL donations from the public go toward the purchase of gifts of toys or clothing for a child in need. For more information on this great charity please or to find out how you can help go to their web site at http://ourneighborschild.org/ WESTERN FAIRFAX CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES This group was formed in 1987 to, quoting from the web site, "address the needs of those experiencing difficulties in sustaining a self-supporting quality of life, believing in the inherent dignity of each person. To help families and individuals achieve the goal of self-sufficiency. To express God's love and to exemplify the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." The group provides emergency help for persons living in the Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fairfax Station, and Fairfax (in the 22033 zip-code) areas. For more information on this important group go to their web site at http://www.wfcmva.org/ 
Selling Your Home >No Smoking
One of the issues that may come up during the sale of a home is pervasive odors, particularly cigarette smoke. If your home is on the market, it may sell more quickly if you temporarily make it a smoke-free zone. Many non-smokers are highly sensitive to the lingering presence of smoke.
The sense of smell is the most powerful of all the five senses. Be sure to keep your home aired out while it is on the market. If the weather is good, you can smoke outside or while taking a walk or a drive. Avoid heavily-scented room fresheners which combined with the smoke can be worse than the smoke alone. It helps to wash the walls and have drapes and upholstered furniture professionally cleaned. This is really a serious issue for many buyers, so don't limit your market by turning away non-smokers.
