Home foreclosure
workshop Feb. 25
at UFCW Hall
Union members facing foreclosure
on their homes can attend a free work-
shop Feb. 25 at United Food and Com-
mercial Workers Local 555 Hall, 7095
SW Sandburg St., Tigard.
The workshop, “Getting Traction,”
is presented by Good Grief America, a
nonprofit organization based in Central
Point, Oregon. It has held two work-
shops at the Machinists Hall. Both were
well attended.
“Past attendees have reported that all
who are pushing back are getting posi-
tive results,” said Nancie Koerber who,
along with Mark Thomas, founded
Good Grief America. The couple is
sharing their experiences in dealing
with foreclosure. They do not give le-
gal or tax advice, Thomas said, but fo-
cus more on providing moral support
and help direct homeowners who are
feeling lost in the shuffle..
The workshop will be held from
8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Pre-registration is required. To do
so, call 541-690-8334 or go online to
www.goodgriefamerica.ning.com.
