July, 2009 – Wellington Cares Clearinghouse

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wellington Cares Clearinghouse

Greetings, Friends!  
       I’m back from the month in Australia and a week at Friends General Conference and the Wellington Cares Clearinghouse porch is open!  Donations continue to pour in, thanks to all you generous people.  A special thanks to the Wellington Mom’s Club for all the beautiful baby items.  Hope you’re all doing ok in these difficult economic times.
       There have been some changes in the last 2 months.  The Glades Area Pantries in Pahokee has closed, at least temporarily, and moved operations to Trinity International Church in Lake Worth.  The same procedures apply, same donations are accepted, and Ron Sherman still comes to my house from Pahokee Monday, Thurs, Friday or Sat.  One good bit of news from this is that the church ships containers to Haiti and is willing to take pill vials.  So bring ’em on!  (If you can, put small ones inside large.)
        7″ knitted or crocheted squares have been removed from the donation’s list.  I just got overwhelmed by those bags of squares!  But lap robes are still welcomed by the Pahokee Nursing Home & Ron is glad to drop them off.  He’ll also take medical supplies to a doctor in Pahokee, but pills must be within shelf life date and in blister packs.  
        We finally heard from Moira Morgan in Kingston, Jamaica that she got the kids’ books, clothes, toys and adult diapers, so we know Food For the Poor does get through.  We’ll probably be taking another shipment to them in the fall.  FFTP has a specific list of donations, mostly anything but adult clothing.  
         Here’s the latest press release for hotel samples.  Two women at the Quaker Meeting volunteer at Caring Kitchen in Boca Raton, for the working poor and homeless, and are very glad to get the hygiene kits.  
          Soon we’ll be putting together more midwife kits for Haiti.  We seem to have plenty of beautiful crocheted caps and onesies, but need a lot more new or gently used receiving blankets.   
                       Thanks, thanks, and more thanks for all you do, try to stay cool, & much love, Ellie

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 Announcing the Western Executives’ 1st “SALAD DAYS”

A Delicious Experience of Healthy Eating and Celebrating a Greener Planet

 

The “Western Executives” is a social club for business owners primarily in the Western communities of Palm Beach County.

Troy Webster, the founder of the Western Executives, saw an opportunity to help raise money for a local farm worker’s charity by organizing the first “SALAD DAYS” special event, to be held at the  International Polo Club in Wellington, on Saturday, August 1st, 2009.

The event starts at 1:00 pm and ends at 6:00 pm. Tickets are $10.00 in advance (available online) or $15.00 at the door. Vendor applications can be emailed to [email protected].

Residents of the Western Communities are being called to participate and come together in order to support this meaningful fundraising event.

Webster says that the International Polo Club is a perfect place to showcase such a feast for the senses, and he feels that people will support the idea of helping farm worker’s kids with school supplies, while enjoying an afternoon of healthy food and entertainment.

Visitors may bring crayons, pencils, backpacks, calculators and other school supplies for chances to win fabulous prizes.

There will be plenty of food sampling, “Best Salad” competition, demonstration by the local home brewers club, business expo/fair, raffle and silent auction.

The Western Executives volunteer their time and do not get compensation as all profit goes directly to the Farmworker Council, a non-profit local charity.

 For more information, call Ingrid at (561) 793 5509.

July/August, 2009 – A Wonderful Summer!

FROM THE EDITOR

 

July/August – Wishing You a Wonderful Summer!Krista Martinelli

 

 

 

 

Dear Around Wellington Readers,

 

I hope you are all having a Happy Summer! We have a plethora of great new articles for you to read and new contests happening between July 1 – 10 and between August 1 – 10!

 

You are guaranteed to get some good laughs out of Wendell Abern’s “Cantankerously Yours,” as I did. It’s his annual complaint letter to the editors of People Magazine . . . for not including him in their “100 Most Beautiful People in the World.” He asked me to publish his photo at about twice the normal size, so I obliged. Enjoy!  And I think you’ll see the validity to Wendell’s complaint as you read on.

 

As for our special Around Wellington Stories of the Month, we have three topics of interest. First we take a look at three different organizations which advocate for children with autism, all making a difference in our community: The Other Side of the Fence, Autism Action Group and Project Lifesaver. Writer Jamie Allison analyzes the pro’s and con’s of desktops vs. laptops vs. netbooks, spelling it out for those who might be considering making a purchase in the near future. And writer Frannie Sheridan, who’s currently working on a Wacky Healthy Food Show for TV, gets romantic about chocolate…and chocolate cake.

 

In “As I Was Saying,” humorist Alan Williamson gives some fine tips on the art of walking. Don’t miss his “Walk This Way!” You’ll never take a walk the same way again. Or at least without thinking about it funny.

 

Check your sign and see what’s in store for you with “Astrology at Work” in Your Life by Karola Crawford this summer.

 

Dennis Lipp takes a turn at writing “By the Numbers” this month, giving us a look at income protection and valuable insurance information.

 

Judy Collins is the subject of Glenn Swift’s “Cultural Corner,” and Collins shares her “Seven T’s,” good rules to live by that she discovered when coping with the darkest moments of her life.

 

Health & Fitness expert Cheryl Alker tackles the subject of childhood obesity and tips for parents to get their children up and moving again.

 

We’re happy to introduce you to new monthly columnist Lisa Dawn Wax (aka Lightworker Lisa)! In “Lighten Up with Lisa,” she shares a few tips on thinking outside of the box and lightening up your heavy load. I’m already getting good feedback from this story after just one day of being published, so I’m happy to hear about people getting inspired by it.

 

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Tomer Haik, “The Kids’ Teeth Doctor” for our AW Spotlight article. Several parents have mentioned to me that they LOVED him and the positive experiences that their children have had. As the mother of a two-year-old and a four-year-old, I can fully understand how difficult it is to instill good “brushing routines” and dental care. Dr. Haik and his staff are extremely helpful when it comes to getting children off to the right start. In August, Dr. Haik will be sharing a fun video about Top Ten Tips for kids’ dental care on this website too!

 

While you might have mixed feelings about who Michael Jackson became later in his life, you cannot deny the monumental contributions he made to the world of music. I cried on the day that the world lost him, along with so many others who mourned. Did you know that one in ten people own the album “Thriller?” It’s the biggest-selling album of all time. Anyway, it breaks my heart to see the old videos of him performing, as a ten—year-old and then seeing how he changed . . . so dramatically. I thought it would be a good tribute to share the lyrics of his song “Man in the Mirror” for our Poem of the Month, as well as a video that one of his fans put together.

 

Here is our Table of Contents for July and August, including many other great articles for you to read!

July/August, 2009 – Protecting Your Income

July/August, 2009 – Protecting Your Income

BY THE NUMBERSDennis Lipp

Provided by Dennis C. Lipp

Protecting Your Income – Part I

If you are in business, you probably insure the components of your business against loss beyond your control. You insure your premises against fire, accidental injury, and theft of property. Your equipment is probably insured. You probably have business interruption insurance to compensate you if your property is rendered unusable due to accidental damage. Whether or not you own a business, you probably insure your car so you can be sure that you’ll always have the means to get to work. You probably insure your dwelling so you can be sure that there will be a roof over your head in the event of a catastrophe.

 

Life, homeowners, and other types of insurance policies provide important kinds of coverage, but they will not safeguard you from financial impact if a disability prevents you from working. The stark reality is that without disability income insurance, a serious injury or illness could be financially devastating to you and your family.

 

You may believe you’re less likely to become disabled than to die prematurely, but statistics show exactly the opposite is true. According to tables prepared by the Society of Actuaries in 1985, at any given time in your career, the chance that a long-term disability will occur is several times the likelihood of death. For example, at age 37, the odds of a long-term disability vs. death is 3.3 to 1. At age 42, the odds are 3.5 to 1, at age 47, they are 2.8 to 1, and at age 52, they are 2.2 to 1.

 

Before you read further, please get a piece of blank paper and a writing utensil. On the paper, write the names of 20 people that know each other. Some examples are members of your family or members of a club, service, or religious organization. Once you have finished, circle the ones who have had a disability lasting 90 days or longer. My experience has shown that more than 90 percent of you will have circled at least 1 name on your lists.

 

If you earn $50,000 per year, in 20 years you will have earned 1 million dollars. Without you in it, will your car earn you that kind of money? Will any of the other things you insured enable you to continue receiving your income? Disability income insurance, also known as disability income replacement insurance, is an important vehicle that will help replace a portion of your income in the event that you become disabled due to accident or illness.

There are several types of disability insurance policies. A properly licensed agent or financial representative can explain what may be appropriate for you.
