Natural Remedies for Summer Ailments

            Inspired by last week’s post about natural insect repellents, I thought we could talk about some other homemade and natural remedies and products. We are exposed to enough chemicals in life that sometimes it’s nice to just use a couple things from nature to change your situation!

Natural Pest Deterrents

            Last August and September, we posted a couple blogs about summertime insects and household pests. These blogs mainly dealt with ways to prevent them from coming in your home, but this blog is going to deal with some natural remedies if these insects get into your home! Read on for tips and you’ll see a lot of common themes so combine your remedies for your best insect-free home!

Help for First Time Homebuyers

            If you are a first time homebuyer, there are several services available that can help you out. At NHS of South Buffalo, we have plenty of homebuyer education options that satisfy banks’ requirements for education. We also are a sponsoring organization of First Home Club and have our own Closing Cost Assistance Loan (available  only for South District buyers). Read on for more information about our amazing programs!

National Night Out

 The first Tuesday in August is known as National Night Out. The night is the largest crime prevention event in the country and is coordinated by the National Association of Town Watch.

Goodbye, Megan!

                As of Friday, July 26^th, Neighborhood Housing Services of South Buffalo has said goodbye to its VISTA for 2012-13, Megan McLaughlin. Though we are not getting a new VISTA member for the upcoming year, the work of our previous VISTAs will not be forgotten. They have set us up with a great social media and website program that will live on.

                Megan’s prime responsibilities in our office this year were maintaining and updating our website, running our Facebook, writing our blog, writing press releases, and assisting with other administrative tasks. Her efforts will continue to be seen through our blog, where she continued to write for future posts.

                Moving on from our organization, we wish her all the best and hope she doesn’t forget to visit us!
