Living in an apartment in Mooresville and wondering how to make a difference this New Year? By taking a brisk dip into Lake Norman on New Year’s Day, you will be helping SCAN in its efforts to stop child abuse.

The Fourth Annual Polar Bear Plunge will take place at The Point Lake and Golf Club west of Mooresville at 11 a.m., and founder Bo Watson said he can’t wait to “help out such a great cause.”

Last year the event had over 100 people in attendance and more than $10,000 raised for SCAN.

Watson said. “Everyone has a great time. A lot of interest stems from local middle school and high school students, who think it’s a blast. They’re really the brave ones who splash around in the cold water of Lake Norman, while the adults run in and out pretty quickly.”

The mission of the Exchange SCAN Center is to prevent child abuse, whether by physical violence, inappropriate emotional demands, or the lack of physical and emotional care.  SCAN is the sole beneficiary for the Polar Bear Plunge this year.

“The proceeds will help us pay for our parent aide program in the Mooresville area,” said SCAN director Amy Eisele. “This is the program where we visit families who are having difficulties with their children’s behavior. We visit weekly to give assistance with dealing with these behaviors and support as parents are learning these new techniques.”

With T-shirts giveaways and cases of beer from Mecklenburg Brewery for the best costumes and craziest hats, everyone will have a great time. If you’ve never participated, it’s a great way to start the New Year and the jump is really exciting.The event is family appropriate and tons of fun.

Watson said anyone who would like to come, whether they jump in or not, is welcome, as is any denomination donation toward SCAN.

“You’ll be having a great time while supporting a great cause, so come on out and enjoy,” he said.

The Polar Bear Plunge is $50 per adult and $10 per child (teachers and veterans get in free) registration begins at 11am. Music, food and spirits are available to participants.

At 4 p.m., the Polar Bear Party will kick off at Lake Norman Tavern, with live music from the Ethan Hanson Band.

Just two weeks away until Christmas, and Hanukah begins next week. Many residents of our apartments in Mooresville, NC are still looking for gifts for those who are hard to buy for on their list.

We all have those folks on our list, they are important to us,  but they are hard to buy for. Maybe they have everything, or perhaps we don’t know too much about them, but we still would like to show them how much they mean to us with a small token.  
 
Truly it is about the thought, not about what you spend. Here are some fun, creative and easy gifts for the “challenging” on your list:

1. Day at the spa — wrap scented lotion, foot cream, candle and a rubber duck in a cute face cloth;
2. Beach day — fill a beach bucket with bubbles, sun block, Frisbee, beach ball and gold fish snacks!
3. Trip to the movies — in a popcorn bucket, place microwave popcorn, 2 boxes of movie candy, diet soda, and two passes to a movie theatre.
4. Tea time — a tea pot or coffee mug, herbal teas, flavored coffees and some boxed biscotti’s.

Happy holidays to all our residents in Mooresville, NC from Abberly Green!

Right now the housing market is stagnating and real estate brokers in and around Mooresville would have potential buyers believe that there is no better time than the present to buy a home. It is true, prices are down and mortgage rates are at all-time lows.

Unfortunately for the real estate brokers, many clients are not persuaded by that logic. Instead, in increasing numbers, they are choosing to rent instead of buy — unconvinced that the housing market has yet hit bottom. Would be buyers also understand that unless you plan to stay in your home for more than 10 years, buying a home may not be the right investment for everyone.

With apartments in Mooresville, NC that are conveniently located near Charlotte and Lake Norman and offering apartment amenities that can’t be found in homes; renting is a great option for many. There is also a broad mix of tenants in the Abberly Green Apartment community: young single residents and families and empty-nesters that no longer have homeownership on their wish list.
