Celebrating Mother’s Day
Article from www.holidays.net
Submitted by Magda Lawrence
Information & Referral

One of the best ways to celebrate Mother's Day

is to give your mom the day off. Let her take
it easy and relax while the rest of the family
does the work.

Many families begin Mother's Day with breakfast in bed. Usually dad and the kids will let
mom sleep late as they go into the kitchen and prepare her favorite meal. A Mother's Day
breakfast can consist of anything your mom likes.

After the food is cooked arrange everything nicely on a tray. Don't forget the vase with a
single flower. Spring’s here, and the children can pick a tulip or daffodil from the garden
outside. When everything is ready, carefully carry the tray and mom's favorite sections from
the newspaper to her bedroom. Cards and small presents from the children can be placed on
the tray before it is presented to mom in bed.

Many families make a special Mother's Day dinner or take mom out to her favorite restaurant
for a meal. It is a good day to let your mom relax and let her see what a wonderful family she
has.

Director’s Corner
Military Spouse Day was created to honor the spouses of those who are
actively serving in the Armed Forces. Each year, a day is set aside in the
United States to recognize what a powerful difference spouses make in the lives
of our Service Members.

What are some of the sacrifices that Military spouses make?

-Giving up comforts of home when on an overseas assignment
-Giving up their spouses during deployments
-The ultimate sacrifice of life defending our country against
those who would wish to harm them

When is Military Spouse Appreciation Day? Military Spouses Day was created by
President Ronald Reagan in 1984 Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger
established the Friday before Mother’s Day as Military Spouses Day. Carmen
Fort Hamilton will celebrate Military Spouse Appreciation Day on May 11, 2011

SPENDING Shopping Wisely...
Article from www.ftc.gov
Financial Readiness Program

Spending money is easy. Spending money wisely

is another thing altogether. If you ever wonder
where your money goes, here’s how to find out:

To Do
If you’ve ever heard the advice, ―Never go to the grocery store without a list or when you’re hungry,‖ chances are you
know why: you’re likely to buy more than you need and spend more, too. Regardless of where you’re shopping and
how you pay for your purchases, remember to:

 Shop around. A ―sale‖ price isn’t always the ―best‖ price. Some merchants may offer a sale price on the item you
want for a limited time; other merchants may offer items at a discount everyday. Other merchants may offer a deep
discount on one item – but only if you agree to spend a minimum that is several hundred dollars more.

 Go online. Check out websites that compare prices. If you decide to buy from an online merchant, keep shipping
costs and delivery time in mind.

 Look for price matching policies. Some merchants will match, or even beat, a competitor’s prices.

 Clip coupons. Coupons are useful when they save you money on what you’re already planning to buy. You can find
some coupons in the Sunday paper or often, at coupon exchanges at your local library. Or you can download others –
full coupons or simply codes – from manufacturer and retailer sites online. If you are shopping online, you simply enter
the code at checkout.

 Use debit and credit cards sparingly. To minimize interest and other charges, try to limit credit card purchases to
an amount you can pay in full at the end of the month. If you use a debit card, don’t rely on an overdraft feature to
spend money you don’t have. When you leave your house, carry only the card you may need to use rather than all your
cards ―just in case.‖

 Keep track of your spending. Incidental and impulse purchases add up. Jotting down what you spend after every
purchase helps keep you mindful of your limits. At least once a month, use credit card, checking, and other records to
review what you’ve bought. Then ask yourself if it makes sense to reallocate some of this spending to an emergency
savings account.

Credit and Debit Card Blocking
Article from www.ftc.gov
Financial Readiness Program
Have you ever been told you were over your credit card
limit, or had your debit card declined, even though you
knew you had available credit, or money in your bank
account? If this happened shortly after you stayed in a
hotel or rented a car, the problem could have been card
"blocking."
What's Blocking? When you use a credit or debit card to
check into a hotel or rent a car, the clerk usually contacts
the company that issued your card to give an estimated
total. If the transaction is approved, your available credit
(credit card) or the balance in your bank account (debit
card) is reduced by this amount. That's a "block." Some
companies also call this placing a "hold" on those
amounts.
Here's how it works: Suppose you use a credit or debit
card when you check into a $100-a-night hotel for five
nights. At least $500 would likely be blocked. In addition,
hotels and rental car companies often add anticipated
charges for "incidentals" like food, beverages, or gasoline
to the blocked amount. These incidental amounts can vary
widely among merchants.
If you pay your bill with the same card you used when
you checked in, the final charge on your credit card, or
final amount on your debit card, probably will replace the
block in a day or two. However, if you pay your bill with
a different card, or with cash or a check, the company that
issued the card you used at check-in might hold the block
for up to 15 days after you've checked out. That's because
they weren't notified of the final payment and didn't know
you paid another way.
Why Blocking Can Be a Problem. Blocking is used to
make sure you don't exceed your credit line (credit card)
or overdraw your bank account (debit card) before
checking out of a hotel or returning a rental car, leaving
the merchant unpaid. Blocking is sometimes also used by
restaurants for anticipated sizeable bills (like large groups
at dinner or a party), by companies cleaning your home,
and other businesses to ensure credit or account money
will be available to complete payment.
If you're nowhere near your credit limit or don't have a
low balance in your bank account, blocking probably
won't be a problem. But if you're reaching that point, be
careful. Not only can it be embarrassing to have your card
declined, it also can be inconvenient, especially if you
have an emergency purchase and insufficient credit
blocks. or money in your bank account. On debit cards,
depending on the balance in your bank account, blocking
could lead to charges for insufficient funds while the
block remains in place.
How to Avoid Blocking
To avoid the aggravation that blocking can cause, follow
these tips:
When you check into a hotel or rent a car - or if a
restaurant or other business asks for your card in advance
of service ask if the company is "blocking," how much
will be blocked, how the amount is determined, and how
long the block remains in place.
Consider paying hotel, motel, rental car, or other
"blocked" bills with the same credit or debit card you
used at the beginning of the transaction. Ask the clerk
when the prior block will be removed.
If you pay with a different card, by cash, or by check,
remind the clerk you're using a different form of payment
and ask them to remove the prior block promptly.
Ask your current debit card issuer if they permit
blocks, for how long, and from what types of merchants.
If they do, you may want to consider getting an overdraft
line of credit from your bank. Ask about a plan that
always automatically covers the overdraft and does not
involve a separate bank decision on whether or not to pay
it each time. Although you might incur some interest on
this plan if you don't pay off the amount fairly quickly,
you would not have an overdraft that is not paid. Ask
your bank if they offer an overdraft line of credit, how it
would work, and how much it costs.
In addition, if you are considering a credit or debit card,
shop around. When comparing credit and debit card
offers, ask issuers if they permit blocks, for how long, and
from what types of merchants. You may want to consider
an issuer that uses shorter blocks.
Weighing the Evidence in Diet Ads
Article from www.ftc.gov
Submitted by Magda Lawrence
Lose Weight Fast?
Information & Referral

Flip through a magazine, scan a newspaper,

or channel surf and you see them everywhere:

Ads that promise quick and easy weight loss without diet or exercise. Wouldn’t it be nice if — as the ads
claim — you could lose weight simply by taking a pill, wearing a patch, or rubbing in a cream? Too bad
claims like that are almost always false. Doctors, dieticians, and other experts agree that the best way to lose
weight is to eat fewer calories and increase your physical activity so you burn more energy. A reasonable
goal is to lose about a pound a week. For most people, that means cutting about 500 calories a day from your
diet, eating a variety of nutritious foods, and exercising regularly.

When it comes to evaluating claims for weight loss products, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
recommends a healthy portion of skepticism. Before you spend money on products that promise fast and
easy results, weigh the claims carefully. Think twice before wasting your money on products that make any
of these false claims:
"Lose weight without diet or exercise!"
Achieving a healthy weight takes work. Take a pass on any product that promises miraculous results without
the effort. Buy one and the only thing you’ll lose is money.
“Lose weight no matter how much you eat of your favorite foods!”
Beware of any product that claims that you can eat all you want of high-calorie foods and still lose weight.
Losing weight requires sensible food choices. Filling up on healthy vegetables and fruits can make it easier
to say no to fattening sweets and snacks.
“Lose weight permanently! Never diet again!”
Even if you’re successful in taking the weight off, permanent weight loss requires permanent lifestyle
changes. Don’t trust any product that promises once-and-for-all results without ongoing maintenance.
“Block the absorption of fat, carbs, or calories!”
Doctors, dieticians, and other experts agree that there’s simply no magic non-prescription pill that will allow
you to block the absorption of fat, carbs, or calories. The key to curbing your craving for those ―downfall
foods‖ is portion control. Limit yourself to a smaller serving or a slimmer slice.
“Lose 30 pounds in 30 days!”
Losing weight at the rate of a pound or two a week is the most effective way to take it off and keep it off. At
best, products promising lightning-fast weight loss are false. At worst, they can ruin your health.
“Everybody will lose weight!”
Your habits and health concerns are unique. There is simply no one-size-fits-all product guaranteed to work
for everyone. Team up with your health care provider to design a personalized nutrition and exercise
program suited to your lifestyle and metabolism.
“Lose weight with our miracle diet patch or cream!”
You’ve seen the ads for diet patches or creams that claim to melt away the pounds. Don’t believe them.
There’s nothing you can wear or apply to your skin that will cause you to lose weight.

How to Teach Children About Memorial Day
Article from www.ehow.com
Submitted by Magda Lawrence
Information & Referral

Sometimes the true meaning of Memorial Day is lost

because of the emphasis on the 3-day weekend,
Memorial Day store sales and the excitement of
having a day off from school. It's important to find
ways to teach children to honor the generations before
Them, who fought to protect their freedom. Here are a
few suggestions for how to teach children the
significance of Memorial Day.

1. Discuss the true meaning of Memorial Day, a day

of national awareness and respect to honor Americans who have died while defending
this country. It has also become a day for remembrance of all loved ones who have died,
whether they were in the armed forces or not.

2. Participate in Memorial Day activities in your community. Teach your children how to
display a flag with respect and dignity. Learn how to handle a flag when you raise and
lower it.

3. Encourage your children to talk with a veteran. Take the opportunity to speak with a
relative or friend who has served in the armed forces and find out what it meant to them.
Organize a trip to a nursing home to honor the older veterans. Have children make thank
you cards for veterans they know or get in touch with the Veteran's Administration for
information on how to contact local veterans. Visit a local cemetery to place flags and
flowers on the graves of veterans.

4. Teach your children the Pledge of

Allegiance, patriotic songs and poems.
Visit the White House Commission on
Remembrance website to find out ways to
join the rest of the country at 3 p.m., local
time, on Memorial Day to share a moment
of remembrance together. Have your
children choose their own special way to
spend their moment of remembrance, such
as ringing a bell, a moment of silence or a
moment in prayer.
