Winter Weather Awareness for Those Who Live in Hamden Rental Apartments
Posted by: | Comments
Don't get caught in rough winter weather without a plan and supplies
While you’re out shopping for gifts for yourself and others around Hamden rental apartments, it’s also a great time to make sure you have everything for a winter readiness kit. While we do everything we can at Seramonte to make sure life for you is safe and comfortable, we all have to do our part to make sure we’re prepared for the winters that can sometimes be harsh.
The best way to do this is by assembling a winter weather kit. Start this out with a large plastic container that can hold everything and either has wheels or handles for transportation. Inside, we need to put:
Lights: flashlights, long-lasting candles and lanterns. Make sure to include batteries for the flashlights, and water-proof matches for the candles and/or lanterns.
Warmth: Blankets, hand warmers, extra gloves and socks. An emergency or space blanket is small, light, and waterproof. Hand warmers are also great, as they are small, easy to use and fast-acting. Read More→

BINGO in Hamden
Posted by: | Comments
The name “Bingo” as we know it today is a form of lottery and a direct descendant of the National Lottery started in Italy in 1530. It is reported that in 1778 the French captured the lottery fantasy adding chips to the game as part of the playing equipment.
In the 1800’s, educational lotto games became popular including a German lotto game designed to teach children multiplication tables, spelling and history. Even today lotto still holds its own in the toy and game market. The game gives kids in the 3 to 6 year old range a bit of fun while teaching them to recognize numbers and count.
Bingo is a fun and entertaining, and it’s a game that children and adults alike can enjoy in a group setting. If you are a Bingo enthusiast, you can use the internet to look for community centers, churches or senior facilities in your area that offer games and tournaments.
If you live in the Branford or Hamden rental apartments at Montoya or Seramonte, some of the places where Bingo is offered are: Sleeping Giant Bingo in Hamden, Knights of Columbus in Guilford and Sons & Daughters of Italy in Wallingford. Read More→
MOVING 101
Posted by: | Comments
For the exceptional few of us who may be minimalists, moving is not only a serious task; but it’s a time-consuming and expensive one. Something to consider is whether you plan to tackle it yourself or hire a moving company to do the job. One way to start your decision-making process is to consider the distance, the amount of personal belongings that need to be transported, the amount of time you may have to take from work if you do-it-yourself, and even the season when you plan to make the move to your new Hamden apartments. You can itemize the expenses, take all factors into consideration, and determine whether you personally have the wherewithal to take on the job. Of course, it’s always great to have friends who are able to assist and provide moral support, but after everything is taken into consideration, you may find justification for the cost of hiring a mover.
On the other hand, if you are a confirmed do-it-yourselfer, roll up your sleeves and dig in. The best way to start is to plan ahead, leaving adequate time to fulfill the lease terms in your current apartment, and getting yourself and your belongings to your new apartment without a glitch. The ideal scenario is moving within the same town on a perfect spring day; giving you time and energy to start loading your rented track at the crack of dawn, and delivering its contents to your destination mid or late afternoon.
