Mortgage Renewal

The mortgage on our property is a commercial loan with Old Point.  The loan is reviewed every 5 yrs.  Last week the loan was renewed for another 5 yr term, and an interest rate that is 2% below what we had been paying.  The necessary weekly contribution in our budget was lowered for this year.  Help meet or exceed the budget amount, the financial report is now posted in the hall.
