Arnone School Group’s Summer Community Service Project Benefits OCES Meals on Wheels Program and Recipients

Students in the Summer Extended Day Program at Arnone School in Brockton recently raised an impressive $500 for Old Colony Elder Services’ (OCES) Meals on Wheels Program, and also created handmade placemats and bags to be delivered to a number of Meals on Wheels recipients in Brockton.

As their summer community service project, approximately 400 students ranging from Kindergarten to 7th grade, in Arnone School’s program, decided that OCES’ Meals on Wheels Program and its recipients would benefit from their project.

The students held a “Penny War” fundraiser to raise money for the Meals on Wheel program. Three groups of students, K-Grade-1, Grade 2-3 and Grade 4-7, participated in the spare change fundraising competition. The groups competed to see which one could fill their jar with the most pennies.

The K-Grade 1 group was in the lead, and on the last day of their Penny Wars, the Grade 4-7 group brought in a ton of change and won. The money raised was donated to OCES in support of the Meals on Wheels program.

Additionally, the students crafted personal and colorful placemats and lunch bags which will be presented to OCES Meals on Wheels consumers in Brockton with their nutritious meal delivery.

“The students from Arnone School’s program did an amazing job with their community service project – raising a remarkable $500 for OCES’ Meals on Wheels program. It’s truly inspirational to see youth giving back to the community,” said Nicole Long, CEO of OCES. “The Meals on Wheels program is an essential program for many older adults who are homebound, unable to prepare meals, manage their grocery shopping or able to attend one of our community dining sites. We’d like to thank the students for their thoughtful efforts and generous donation to our Meals on Wheels program. They are really making a difference in our community.”

With the help of more than 760 volunteers, OCES, the non-profit agency proudly serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout greater Plymouth County and surrounding communities, delivers more than 1,600 meals each week to Meals on Wheels recipients in their service area.

Breaking Bearing Code – Emerson Bearing Boston Shares Tips to Help Get the Most from Bearings

Choosing a bearing catalog can be intimidating and confusing – as some seem to be written in a secret code, with a series of letters and numbers that are unknown to anyone who hasn’t chosen a bearing before. 

Emerson Bearing Boston, a bearing company catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, shares tips for cracking the code and understanding how to get the most from your bearings.

Rolling bearings are designated by codes that indicate the construction, dimensions, tolerances, and clearances of each bearing. Tolerance is the limit of random (unintentional) deviation of a dimension from its nominal value. Allowance is the amount of designed (intentional) deviation between two mating dimensions in a fit, which, in combination with their respective tolerances, results into a maximum and minimum clearance or interference.

Emerson Bearing breaks it all down:

The Codes in a bearing catalog can include any or all of these three parts: the basic code, prefixes, and suffixes. The basic code tells you what kind of bearing it is and its bore diameter (diameter of the inner ring). Prefixes indicate basic components in the bearing, and suffixes indicate any special characteristics or designs.

Basic Code consists of the bearing series, which indicates the type of bearing, and the bore number, which specifies the bore diameter. The bearing series can be made up of letters and/or numbers that designate the construction, diameter series, and in many cases the width series. The bore number indicates the bore diameter. If the bearing code only contains the basic code and doesn’t include any prefixes or suffixes, it means that it is a normal bearing with normal standards of form, precision, and clearance. 

Prefixes refer to basic bearing components and common prefixes include H for Tapered Roller Bearings-Inch, N for Cylindrical Roller Bearings-Metric, NN for Super Precision Cylindrical Roller Bearings, and S for Stainless Steel – to name just a few.

Suffixes indicate bearings with special characteristics or designs, including special outer forms, cages, precision tolerances, clearances, and other characteristics like heat treatment and noise behavior. The most common suffixes for internal design are E for Higher Capacity Bearings, UA for Close Axial Preload, UO for No Clearance, and UL for Light Preload. There are also suffixes for outer surface dimensions, sealings, cage materials, precision tolerances, bearing clearances and dimensionally stabilized bearings. Note that for bearings with both special precision tolerance and special clearance, the suffixes are combined.

“We are dedicated to helping our customers find the bearings they require,” explained Steve Katz, president. “Our team of experts can assist with proper bearing selection and equip customers with the knowledge needed – which often includes deciphering bearing codes – which  helps to ensure they avoid costly pitfalls and downtime.”

The Weekly Trends – Brothers Gutters

Please state your name and a little about your current status. What exactly does your company do?

I’m Ken Parsons, Co-Founder of Brothers Gutters. I got started in gutters while working with an installer during summers in between teaching High School history. I enjoyed the work and saw the potential in it so I ran with it. After some success, I was able to recruit my talented younger brother, Ryan Parsons, while he was in between graphic design jobs. He now holds the title of Chief Solutionist. As our operation grew, we discovered others could use our model to prosper the way we have.

How we got the name: The name originated from one of our radio ads a couple of years prior to our name change. Everyone who heard the phrase “The Brothers That Just Do Gutters” liked it so much they thought it was the company name. We stopped fighting it and adopted the name.

 How did you start your company/business as a startup?

I got started in gutters while working with an installer during summers in between teaching High School history. I enjoyed the work and saw the potential in it so I ran with it. After some success, I was able to recruit my talented younger brother Ryan Parsons, who is now Chief Solutionist to help me with the endeavor. As our operation grew, we discovered others could use our model to prosper the way we have.

 What struggle did you go through to reach your current status now?

We learned everything about our business firsthand – from what products to use to how to keep up with finances. It took (and continues to require) a good deal of effort to keep up with the rapid rate of growth Brothers Gutters has been privileged to experience.

Early on, we found each project was unique and required individualized treatment. We had to create a system to provide customers with the personalized experience we imagined.

 How did you manage to cope up with those struggles?

After a good deal of trial and error, we learned that in order to provide customers with the reliable, stress-free and personable experience we had to invest in our employees. We trained our staff in the soft components of the business like how to interact with customers and behave on their property in addition to the traditional skills associated with our industry.

 Who inspired you to move forward and influenced you in all your achievements now?

Our customers have been our biggest motivating factor to continuously improve our operation. We send surveys to every client and keep ourselves honest by posting them exactly they were submitted – negative or positive with misspellings and grammar mistakes included. If a customer had an issue we made it a priority to solve it ASAP. With this approach, we were able to gain build our business with people we consider friends and neighbors – not simply customers.

 What piece of advice will you share with those who would like to follow your footsteps?

If you’re ready to invest significant effort and follow instructions carefully you can be a successful business owner. The reward for your hard work is substantial. You can realize your financial and lifestyle goals while making a positive contribution to your community.

Team Vroomy Gears Up for the 8th Annual Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race in Support of Type 1 Diabetes Research and Cure

Team Vroomy is gearing up to race in Type One’s family-friendly, four-mile Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race on October 20, 2019, to raise awareness and funds for type 1 diabetes research at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), and to provide assistance for diabetes management and treatment to those living with the disease.

Vroomy Windsor

Led by Hingham residents Ashley and Robert Windsor, Team Vroomy has been participating in Renegade Run each year in support of Type One’s mission. Their son, Vroomy (now six-years-old) was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of two.

“The first Renegade Run our family did was prior to Vroomy’s diagnosis. The race is in Hingham and we wanted to support those in our community. Then, Vroomy was diagnosed and it affected us directly,” explained Ashley Windsor. “Vroomy is happy and doing well. Type 1 diabetes has not slowed him down at all! After his diagnosis, Team Vroomy was formed with four participants – my husband and family members – and our team has grown ever since.”

In 2017, Team Vroomy had 44 participants in support of Type One and Vroomy and last year, they had an impressive 77 participants (30 of them were children). The Windors hope to have 100 runners in this year’s race. Team Vroomy is easy to spot on the course, with their signature logo on their custom t-shirts and headbands. “We are so excited for this year’s Renegade Run! Team Vroomy is hoping to break the 100 person mark,” said Windsor.

She continued, “We’ll do anything we can to support Renegade Run and raise awareness and research funds for T1D. Our family is thrilled to do this race every year for as long type 1 exists. We are Team Vroomy!”

Event To Cure Type 1 Diabetes

Type One’s Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race will be held Sunday, October 20, 2019 at Bare Cove Park in Hingham. The family-friendly race begins at 9:00 AM and is open to the public.

Harbor Mortgage, Braintree, MA-based, rolls out new program for senior condo owners and buyers in tandem with new federal provisions.

Harbor Mortgage Solutions’ new “Housing Wealth” program is designed to inform senior condominium owners and buyers of significant Federal Housing Authority (FHA) changes to its condominium financing regulations that will go into effect October 15, 2019. 

According to U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD), there are more than 150,000 condo projects in the nation, and only 6.5 percent are approved to participate in the FHA’s mortgage insurance programs. The FHA’s revised rules loosen eligibility requirements and eliminate a number of restrictions. Most notably, the restoration of individual unit approval (called spot approval) that had been in place years ago. Among the FHA project approval revisions, the recertification process has been extended from two to three years.

What This Means to Senior Condo Owners and Buyers

Essentially, the FHA’s new policy will allow senior owners and buyers (62 and older) of certain condo units to be eligible for the FHA Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) reverse mortgage, even if the condominium project is not FHA approved.

The HECM reverse mortgage was developed and approved by Congress to enable owners 62 and older the ability to use a portion of their home equity (housing wealth) to increase financial security. Senior condo owners, previously excluded, may now be eligible for a HECM reverse mortgage to increase financial security, and eligible buyers may be able to purchase a condominium with a limited down payment without the obligation to make mortgage payments.  

“The FHA’s changes to its condominium financing regulations is good news, as these changes eliminate current barriers that have prevented senior condo owners and buyers from using the FHA-insured reverse mortgage and other more favorable FHA financing options,” explained George Downey, CRMP, founder of Braintree-based Harbor Mortgage.

George Downey, a 40-year veteran in the Massachusetts real estate and residential mortgage business, leads Harbor Mortgage’s team of housing wealth management consultants. The team’s specialty is consulting to professional advisers and homeowners on the various methods housing wealth can be utilized and coordinated with financial management to achieve greater results and extend retirement security.

Downey continued, “Home equity, referred to as ‘housing wealth’, has become an important and valuable resource to improve financial planning and extend retirement security. If, how, and when to use it is a key question. Every situation is different and the options are increasing as new programs emerge to meet the changing times.”

Dedicated to serving the unique home financing and often complex needs of senior homeowners,Harbor Mortgage focuses on providing senior condo owners looking to age-in-place, as well as senior homeowners transitioning to retirement living and looking to purchase a condo, with a better understanding about housing wealth and the FHA HECM reverse mortgage.

Senior condo owners and buyers interested in learning more about their options may contact Harbor Mortgage at 781-843-5553, or visit HarborMortgage.com.

Harbor Mortgage Solutions, Inc. is a family-owned, residential mortgage company serving Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Recognized as a leading housing wealth management authority, Harbor Mortgage is dedicated to serving the unique home financing and often complex needs of senior homeowners, while also promoting those needs among consumers, professional advisors, state legislators and industry regulators.
