Mortgage-help event in Upper Marlboro

For Wonk readers more convenient to Prince George's County than Baltimore: A foreclosure-prevention event is scheduled for this Saturday at Watkins Regional Park in Upper Marlboro. The PMI Group, which is sponsoring it with the HOPE NOW alliance and the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, says a number of big lenders will be on hand to talk to borrowers.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the park, 301 Watkins Park Drive. Go to the "Save the Block Party" event site for more information. PMI suggests showing up a couple of hours BEFORE the event starts if you want to make sure you'll get to sit down with a lender.

UPDATE on 9/18: PMI's press release said it was one of the event sponsors, but it got back to me today to say that actually, it wasn't; it was a participant and wanted to get the word out.

What is wrong with you Dunn? Is not selling enough houses crimping your brain?
