Villages Italian Club presents "The Genius of Michelangelo"

Michelangelo is universally recognized to be among the dominant artists of all time. Michelangelo Buonarroti's career spanned the glories of the Italian Renaissance, a period of one of the greatest explosions of creative energy. His genius is apparent in every medium in which he worked and with every tool he used. During his 89 years he witnessed the pontificates of 13 popes and worked for nine of them. His works include such cultural icons as The Last Judgement, the Pieta, the David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Michael Rogers will provide an overview of the man and his many accomplishments. Join us at Foothill Center on Feb. 17th to hear (and see) the myriad of Michelangelo's sublime accomplishments. All are welcomed. Light refreshments will be served. The lecture begins at 7:00, but come early because seating is limited.

Homebuyer Tax Credit Extended! Signed Into Law November 6, 2009

President Obama has signed legislation to extend the Homebuyer Tax Credit. Passage of the bill was widely anticipated to further spur economic recovery in the housing sector, as more buyers are now eligible for tax breaks under the new law. The $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit was originally set to expire on November 30.

In addition to offering the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit, the new law also allows a $6,500 credit for repeat or move-up homebuyers who have lived in their primary residence for five years or more.

The tax credits are available to buyers who sign purchase agreements on a new or existing primary residence between December 1, 2009, and April 30, 2010. Buyers would have until June 30 to close on their new homes.
