With no job too large or too small, Great Falls Design Build does great work. I have known Jim Cassell for a great many years and have been happy to refer him to others. Just this month, he has finished a very complicated deck on my home. I typically try to serve as my own general contractor and do this type of work myself. Once Nancy and my sister-in-law Pat completed the drawings, I knew it wasn’t something I wanted to tackle. Once I received the quote from Jim for the work, it didn’t take me long to go ahead and agree to have him do the work. The deck came out great and really did exceed my expectation. Take a look at the Great Falls Design Build website to see some of their other projects. Please do let them know I have referred you.

A native of upstate New York and a long time resident of the Boston, MA area, Tim Heil came to Great Falls, Virginia in the spring of 1998 while employed as a National Sales Manager for Lucent Technologies. After retiring from Lucent in 2001, he began work as a teacher in the Fairfax County school system teaching Civics and History at the middle and high school levels. He also was a Lacrosse coach for 4 years at Langley High school.
In 2008, Tim started his new career in real estate and has sold homes throughout Northern Virginia and as far south as Stafford County. He specializes in single-family detached homes and townhouses. This former teacher truly enjoys assisting first time homebuyers with: (a.) The home selection and contract process (b.) Helping them understand the complexities of obtaining a mortgage and (c.) Ultimately guiding them through myriad details leading to a successful home settlement. As a member of the Bob Nelson Team, Tim takes particular pride in what we have been doing to help our servicemen and women in their need to find both short-term and permanent homes in the northern Virginia region. We all feel privileged to provide any and all assistance to the members of the U.S. armed services.
Tim recently gained certification in selling “distressed properties” and would be glad to assist anyone who might be contemplating buying or selling a home under a Short Sale arrangement.
On the personal side, Tim lives in Great Falls with his wife Susan, who is a director at Ernst and Young LLC located in Tysons Corner. The Heils have two children, Lily and Gordon. Both children went through the Fairfax County School System and are now attending James Madison University and the University of Mary Washington, respectively. Tim and his wife are members of St. Francis church in Great Falls and the family continues to maintain an active role in the northern Virginia community.
After working for another real estate firm for some time, Tim decided to join the Bob Nelson Team at Keller Williams Realty in August of 2009. After serious consideration, he made this switch with the firm belief that this will enable him to best serve the interest of all his current and prospective clients. Please feel free to contact Tim at Tim@BobNelsonTeam.com and learn how the Bob Nelson Team difference will make your real estate transactions a pleasurable experience. And Oh by the Way… we are never too busy for your referrals.
This morning, I stopped and spoke briefly with the receptionist at the Great Falls Executive Suites regarding Military Appreciation Mondays. We had a very nice conversation regarding the fund raising events and how the community has become so supportive. At the end of our discussion, I left a copy of the flyer announcing the event on Monday the 24th. About two hours later, she left two personal checks sitting on the desk I had been using, each for $50 to be donated to Our Military Kids and the Neighbors Foundation. While I won’t mention her by name, I just have to say how much this is appreciated and the signal it sends our service men and women.
WE ALL CARE AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, NOT JUST ONE MONDAY EACH MONTH.
Neighbors Foundation
This month we will be showing our support to the troops who are on the frontlines of the war on terror. Military Appreciation Mondays will be raising funds for the Great Falls, Va. based group Neighbors Foundation. NIF has provided over 1,600 care packages to servicemen and women serving YOU AND ME in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Some of the things sent include:
• Snack and food items that hold up well in a combat environment.
• Over 75 current magazines regularly donated by Time Warner.
• Holiday items to bring some seasonal cheer.
This month’s dinner at the Old Brogue will be on May 24th. As always, we will be doing two seatings at 5:30 and 7:30. As always, you simply come out and have dinner at the Old Brogue in Great Falls. Myself and my cosponsors will each be contributing a 10 percent match (typically a total of an 80 percent match) of your dinner tab to Neighbors International Foundation. If you know of anyone who might be interested in becoming a co-sponsor, please contact me at bob@bobnelsonteam.com.

Please come out strong to show your support. Due to the heavy rain and the Caps game, last month’s attendance only reach 80 people. While our vets in attendance appreciated this showing, I was hoping to break our previous best of 130. We did manage to raise nearly $3,000. This in part due to one of my recent clients who committed to donating $600 to Our Military Kids. I was also thrilled to learn last month that the March dinner in support of Lift Me Up’s therapeutic horseback riding raised enough money to jump start that program’s efforts and fund three veterans.
Please be certain to thank my co-sponsors when you have a chance.

Military Appreciation Mondays
Supports
Our Military Kids
April is national Month of the Military Child.
I hope you can come out for this month’s Military Appreciation Mondays event at the Old Brogue which will be in recognition of the contributions made by the children of our Servicemen and Women. I am particularly proud to be bringing back the truly special program – Our Military Kids. These dedicated folks provide support to children of deployed National Guard and Reserve personnel as well as to children of injured service members through grants for enrichment activities and tutoring. Such activities help these children cope with the stress of having a parent in a war zone or recovering from injury at home. OMK grants are made to honor the sacrifices that military families make and to ensure that their children have access to sports, fine arts, or academic tutoring programs.
To show your support, simply come out and have dinner at the Old Brogue in Great Falls. Myself and my cosponsors will each be contributing a 10 percent match (typically a total of an 80 percent match) of your dinner tab to Our Military Kids.
You can also show your support through:
A. The purchase of door prize entries. (ALL Proceeds go directly to Our Military Kids.)
B. Our buy a vet dinner initiative. A minimum donation of $25 to OMK entitles you to purchase dinner for one of our vets.
C. Or you can make out a fully tax deductible donation to Our Military Kids.

I am proud to say that last month’s event in support of the Lift Me Up! therapeutic horseback riding program for our injured vets had approximately 125 people in attendance and raised approximately $4,500.
