Scott during his hospital stay & passing. We are so grateful to you. To friends of the community the LDS Church and Bishop Perry, we so appreciate all of your acts of kindness & thoughtfulness, cards, letters, flowers, food, visits and phone calls. Sincerely, Ethel Scott; Bill & Lois Harris Lesley & Herman Riegling Dennis & Mary Scott Ron & Julie Scrimshaw & Families I wish to thank everyone who has taken the time to save the Campbell’s Soup labels. They go to a Christian organization that helps very desperate children in impoverished countries. They have helped a school for the deaf in Puerto Rico. For their latest project they have collected enough labels to receive two vans for an orphanage in Mexico. They are working on a third. When that is accomplished they will work on another project. You will be happy to know together we have saved over 1000 labels. Saving labels may seem like a minor thing to do, but with everyone working together it can be a tremendous help so keep them coming. Once again many thanks. Faye Bort. ******* The entire staff of the Magrath General Hospital are extending their sincere condolences to long time employee Allyn Nelson on the passing of her youth.

There are considerable differences in market exposure in terms of advertising by yourself and the types of advertising and promotion a " realtor could do for you. • PeLesiLial Legal Problems. The prospective purchaser may supply you with his own agreement of purchase and sale. This contract may have clauses and other terms in it that could be legally risky, unenforceable, unfair, or otherwise not beneficial to you. You may not recognize these potential problems or risks. « Lack of Familiarity with the Market. You may riot have a clear or objective idea of exactly what a similar property iri your market is selling for, or the state of the real estate market at that point in time. • Ho Pre-screening of Potential Purchasers. You would not generally know the art of pre-screening prospects in ter ms of questions to ask them over the phone.
