Arnell Chevy to provide Liberty Rec League Inc. with new equipment, monetary donation, instructional clinics; Additional funds via Chevy Vehicle Giveaway
Burns Harbor (April 22, 2010) – Arnell Chevy announced today it will be investing support in the Duneland community through a partnership with Liberty Rec League Inc.. Arnell Chevy will provide baseball equipment, instructional clinics, a monetary donation, and an opportunity to raise an additional $10,000 in funds through a Chevy vehicle giveaway-fundraiser. The effort by Arnell Chevy is part of the Chevy Youth Baseball initiative sweeping the nation from March through July 2010.
“Chevrolet has a long history with baseball at the national level. We wanted to bring that excitement and commitment to youth baseball, in the communities where our customers and their families live,” said Tom Seely, General Sales Mgr for Arnell Chevy. “Youth baseball has always played an important role in the Duneland area so we are thrilled to support our kids in a meaningful way.”
Arnell Chevy will present Liberty Rec League Inc. with equipment kits complete with equipment bags, baseball buckets, dry-erase coach’s clipboards and Chevy Youth Baseball t-shirts. The sponsorship includes clinics with experienced instructors from former MLB/MiLB players and coaches or the Ripken Baseball professional staff.
In addition, a one-time monetary donation check will be presented by Arnell Chevy to Liberty Rec League Inc.. The league also will have an opportunity to raise additional funds for their use as part of a Chevy Youth Baseball Fundraiser. Sponsored leagues across the country will each receive 2,000 fundraiser entry tickets to distribute for a suggested donation, and the league will keep 100% of proceeds raised. At the end of the fundraiser, there will be five winners of a Chevy Equinox or Chevy Malibu vehicle of choice (up to $30,000 in value), and in each participating market there will be a secondary prize of a home entertainment center valued at $1,000.
Chevrolet is recognized on the national level as the “Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball.” “At some point, we hope the kids or their parents will consider a Chevrolet as an official vehicle of their household,” said Seely. “Our vehicles are ideal for transporting families, teams and their gear.”
Chevrolet has expanded its support of MLB to the youth baseball players in communities across the country through the Chevy Youth Baseball program. The Chevy Youth Baseball program began in Atlanta in 2006. Now in its fifth season, the grass roots initiative has activation in more than 20 states and seeks to establish a positive connection between local dealers and the communities they serve. Since its beginning, more than $7 million dollars has been raised by Chevy for community youth baseball leagues.

GM to repay government loan before June
DETROIT — General Motors Co. will fully repay the $6.7 billion loan portion of its U.S. government aid earlier than its previously promised payback date of June, a person briefed on the plans said Monday.
GM CEO Ed Whitacre will announce details of the repayment during a visit Wednesday to the company's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kan., said the person, who did not want to be identified because the announcement has not been made.
Whitacre will travel to Washington, D.C., after the announcement to meet with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Michigan congressional delegation.
The company has received a total of $52 billion in U.S. government aid, with the $6.7 billion considered a loan. The rest would be repaid when the company sells stock to the public, perhaps later this year.
GM already has made two $1 billion payments, leaving a $4.7 billion balance on the U.S. loans.
Company spokesman Tom Wilkinson would not comment on the purpose of Whitacre's visit to the factory, which makes the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse midsize cars.
GM said during its fourth-quarter earnings announcement on April 7 that it planned to repay the money by June, five years ahead of schedule.
Repaying the loan has been a top priority for Whitacre. The government's autos task force set a repayment deadline of 2015 as a condition of giving GM the loans last year.
Once the loans are paid back, GM would still owe $45.3 billion to the government. That will be repaid with the stock offering, which GM Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell said would take place "when the markets and the company are ready."
Liddell said earlier this month that GM could report a profit as early as this year. GM said it lost $3.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009 on revenues of $32.3 billion.
The U.S. government owns about 61 percent of the Detroit automaker, which came in exchange for the aid.
It also will repay early the $1.4 billion borrowed from the Canadian and Ontario governments, the person said. The company already has repaid $384 million.

For the facebookers.
Did you know over 400 million people have an active Facebook account.If you're reading this blog chances are you have an account. Seeing as that many people openly use their Facebook, many who are very Internet savvy, over 50% still come in contact with a worm/virus.
There are new viruses coming out daily. You just have to be smart and avoid opening a message or clicking on a link..
Examples are:
(These links will either be in through an inbox message or written directly on your wall.)
"Yo u tube"
"You look amazing in this new video!"
"You've been caught on hidden camera!"
Watch out for a virus that makes you upgrade your flash. Those make you download and save an .exe file. It'll infect your whole computer.
Facebook pages that say "Disney's hidden message!" stating you have to join to view the message/picture/video. Really, any group that says you have to join to view the message/video are 90% likely to be a scam and contain a virus.
Can't forget the money scams.
They need you to send them a letter head of your business saying this person needs to come to your office to discuss business matters or that you need to send them an account number to make a transaction.
Just be a visually active computer user. Don't open something that looks funny/out of the ordinary, inbox the person back and ask them if they sent it to you, chances are they didnt. If you come across these, just delete the email or wall post... It's that easy to avoid a scam.
