	Dec. 14 - 7PM and LICA Newsletter
Message-ID: <435f5.a0e8fa7.3a2a525b@aol.com>

Hi All,  Mary Terry is available on Tues., Dec.  14 to discuss  with us 
some of the rent to own models, a topic that should be of  interest.     We can 
further discuss house models and plans  and the selection process from the 
Dec. 15 application deadline on.    If you have other topics that Mary might 
be able to help us with, give me a  heads ahead of time. 
    I have attached a copy of the article for the new  LICA Newsletter 
calling attention to the Dec. 15 application deadline as we  discussed at the 
Nov. meeting.  (I also sent it out on the LICA e-mail list  plus you all have 
a list of potential candidates that you should be button  holing about 
this!).

Hi All,  This is a response to the questions asked at our last meeting  
about who checks incomes etc.  This is the way Chebeague handles it.   Attached 
to Beth Howe's letter are 2 attachments worth downloading. The  first is a 
rental application and the second an interesting scoring  matrix (very 
simple) that they have  developed.     Mark

Hi all,

To follow up on what Mark sent you, Peaks uses a very similar process.  Both
processes were based on what Islesboro established a few years ago with
tweaks to address individual community needs.

I have attached the application, and some supporting materials, that Peaks
uses.

I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday.

Best,

Mary
