ANNuAl EASTEr Egg huNT

The Annual Easter Egg hunt was a huge success thanks to all the wonderful volunteers. The craft table was extremely successful all of our children flocked to the table to make a cool craft, then they received tattoos given by Mike Mckay of M&M Woodwork's. Which

leads me to our 1st Silent Auction we received donated items from our resident business owners, Pete's Pest Control and M&M Woodwork's, we also received donations from Nancy and myself. We raised $100 toward our Projector system from the Silent Auction items (Thank you who donated). The Easter Bunny appearance was amazing the kids loved it a great time was had by all. I was able to shop after Easter for next years prizes and we will have a list 500 more eggs for the hunt. If anyone has any suggestions on was to improve or if you want to donate anything to include your time it will be greatly appreciated. Again I want to Thank everyone who volunteered and help make the event so special for our community.

P l e a s e f e e l f r e e t o contact me with questions, suggestions, or concerns for any upcoming events.

many women risk retirement to fund college

Submitted by Rich Keith

A r e c e n t s u r v e y b y Oppenheimer Funds reveals tha t women are h igh ly committed to getting their kids to college and drive most households’ college planning – but many take a back seat when it comes to college savings. Nearly three quarters – 74% -- of 1,099 women polled said it’s very important for their children to obtain a college degree, compared with 66% of 559 men polled. However, in households that have begun planning financially for college, primary responsibility for this critical exercise most often belongs to men.

It’s often true that women are keenly involved in making sure the kids are ready for higher education. But academic preparation

is not enough – the financial side often is addressed too late in the game. The poll indicates about eight of 10 women agree that it’s important to plan financially for retirement and college costs at the same time. But only 10% of women strongly agree that they have

such plans in place.It’s important to not rob one’s retirement savings

to pay for college. And figures quickly show that borrowing for college costs a lot more than many people realize. The cost of borrowing really impacts the ability to save for retirement. And since women on average live longer than men, this reduced savings affects women more than men. Time is a powerful key to achieving financial security. Source: Oppenheimer Funds 2010.

financial focus By Matt Smith

In the investment world, there aren’t many certainties, but here’s one of them: prices will always go up and down. As an individual investor, you can’t do anything about this volatility. But the way you respond to it could make a big difference in your long-term investment success. Many investors think they can “beat” volatility by trying to time the market — in other words, by buying when prices are low and selling when prices are high. In theory, this is an excellent strategy, but in reality, it’s pretty much impossible to follow — because no one can really predict, with any accuracy, market highs and lows. So instead of attempting to time the market, you’re much better off by following a time-tested strategy known as systematic investing. To systematically invest, you simply put the same amount of money into the same investments at regular intervals. To illustrate, you could put $100, $500, $1000 or more into Investment X on the first of every month. To make it even easier on yourself, you could automatically transfer those dollars from your bank account directly into the investment you’ve chosen. In all likelihood, your contribution will buy a different amount of shares of Investment X each month. For example, if Investment X sells for $100 per share in January, a $500 investment will buy five shares. In February, if the price has fallen to $50 per share, your $500 will buy 10 shares. In o the r wo rd s , when you systematically invest, you’ll automatically buy more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is higher — and that’s a great

way to cope with market volatility. But systematic investing also offers some other advantages, including the following:

• Efficient share building — The more shares you own of an investment, the bigger your cumulative gains whenever the price of that investment rises. Consequently, increasing your shares should be a prime objective — and systematic investing is one way of building your share ownership.

• Investment discipline — Most people realize the value of investing for their retirement and other long-term goals, but they often put it off each month and find other things to do with the money— and by then, there’s often nothing left to invest. But by setting up a bank authorization to invest systematically each month, you’ll “pay yourself first.”

• lower cost of investing — Through systematic investing, your cost per share likely will be lower than if you made sporadic lump sum investments. And by lowering the cost of investing, you will, in effect have the potential to boost your returns.

While systematic investing is typically a good way to fight the effects of volatility, it can’t guarantee a profit or prevent

a loss in declining markets. And keep in mind that you need to have the financial wherewithal to keep investing through

up and down markets. But if you have that ability, consider

putting systematic investing to work for you. It may not be glitzy or glamorous, but it may work for you.
