Money-Saving Tips for the New Year
by Michael G. Peterson (LDS Living Magazine)
Lose weight. Stop biting your fingernails. Read more books. Learn to knit.
If you're like most people, you're planning to ring in 2010 by making a slew of lifestyle changes. The great thing about a new year is that it gives you a fresh start. Maybe you didn't use that home gym as much as you wanted to in 2009, or maybe you didn't stick to that low-carb diet. A new year is a great opportunity to get back on track.
This year, as you gear up to say hello to 2010, don't forget about your finances. Spend a little time getting up-close and personal with your checkbook and make a plan to curb your spending and fatten up your savings account.
Don't know where to start? Read on for seven tips for a financially healthy 2010:
1. Avoid the mall. Seriously. As 2009 draws to a close, your favorite retailers will be running end-of-year clearance sales on everything from major appliances to winter coats. Unless you absolutely must have a new refrigerator, pass on the sales and put your extra money into your savings account instead.
2. Cut the cards. Got credit card debt? There's no time like the start of a new year to change your spending habits and start putting a dent in your debt. Make a resolution to start paying off your credit cards. And, more importantly, make a resolution to stop using your cards, period.
3. Start an emergency fund. Credit cards can be hard to cut when you use them for emergencies. So start an emergency fund! A good way to make sure that you don't have to rack up loads of credit card debt is to start socking money away for those unplanned emergencies. A good rule of thumb for most people is to have about three months' salary in a separate account. But, don't let that figure intimidate you: Decide what you can realistically put away, and go from there. If you start in January, you'll be surprised how quickly your money will add up.
4. Curb your impulses. From fancy cupcakes to fashion magazines, DVD rentals to fast food, everybody has a few inexpensive vices. But, these little luxuries can add up to a big drain on your wallet. The New Year is a great time to cut down on impulse purchases. Got a daily eating out habit? Kick it down to twice a week. Addicted to convenience foods? Make a lunch at home and brown bag it. You'll be surprised at how much you'll save.
5. Be a savvy shopper. Even the most financially savvy people in the world still have to go grocery shopping. But, there are dozens of ways to shop smarter in 2010 and stretch your dollar when stocking up on the necessities. Clip coupons and watch store circulars for double (or even triple) coupon events. Consider switching to store-brand items whenever possible. In most cases, they're just as good as the national brand and can save you some serious money. Also, get in the habit of making a list before you go out -- it'll help you stay focused and buy only what you need.
6. Check your credit. From helping you secure a home mortgage to, in some cases, landing a new job, your credit report is used in countless ways. All consumers are eligible for a free annual credit report from the three major credit bureaus: Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Start the New Year off right -- request a copy from each and read them carefully. Not only does this give you the chance to dispute errors, taking the time to check up on your credit can also alert you to fraudulent activities, like accounts you didn't open or charges you didn't make.
And finally, my most important tip for 2010:
7. Write a budget. And stick to it. Writing a budget isn't nearly as scary as it sounds. And, a budget is a great way to make sure that your finances stay on track in 2010. It's pretty easy: Start with your total monthly household income, then deduct your bills (like your rent or mortgage, utilities, car payments, etc.) and expenses (like gas and food). After that, decide how much you want to put in your savings account and how much will go to your emergency fund. And, don't forget to leave yourself a little fun money for the occasional restaurant meal or night at the movies. And remember to be flexible: If you find yourself a little strapped for cash after you've worked out your budget, don't ditch it altogether --make adjustments until you hit on a budget you can live with.
Making a few simple adjustments to your spending and saving habits can go a long way. Follow these tips and you'll be on the way to a financially secure new year.
Good luck and have a happy, healthy 2010!

If anyone is interested they can call me (Jenn Copher) at 721-6196 or email me with who they are and how much they would charge.

Musical Light Display
Marty and Eric (Morrison) set up a fantastic musical light display on our house where the house lights up to the beat of Christmas music. This would greatly appeal to kids, and everyone would enjoy it. All you have to do is drive up to the house and tune your radio to 106.9 and you can hear themusic and watch the light display while staying warm and cozy in the car.Driving on the grass is fine as long as it's not too wet and slick. (Don't want anyone to get stuck). It will be particularly beautiful with snow on the ground. I thought it might be nice "family time" with a Christmas entertainment flare.
We usually have the display running from 7:00-10:00 PM
Thanks,
Stacey Morrison

Sharing the Message of Christmas
The Church has recently developed two online gospel resources that may be helpful to members: Mormon Messages and Topic Pages. Mormon Messages are short videos featuring the Church's basic beliefs, inspiring stories, and messages of hope (see "The Christmas Spirit" on the LDS.org home page). Topic Pages are Web pages that explain specific gospel topics in a compelling, inviting, and easy-to-understand manner (see the Christmas topic page).
Both of these new resources are designed to be easy to share with friends and family via e-mail, Facebook, or other social media Web sites. If you would like to receive an e-mail notice whenever a new Mormon Message or Topic Page is posted:
click here to subscribe (You will need your membership record number)
If you change your mind later, you can easily unsubscribe.

Wheat for a Great Price
Debbie's Beehive has made a VERY special purchase of a food storage staple: Soft white winter wheat.
Through special arrangement, we obtained a supply of 270 5-gallon buckets fresh from the grower in Idaho. We are offering it at our cost of $20 per bucket. Each bucket comes with an oxygen absorber already inside.
The 5-ton supply was delivered straight from Idaho to our store by truck late last night (December 21st), and ~70 buckets are already spoken for.
Soft white wheat is highly nutritious and is golden in color. It tastes sweeter than red wheat, is excellent for cooking, and is particularly good for cereals.
If you are interested in supplementing your food supply with this exceptional offering of excellent Idaho wheat, please visit our store. We expect the remaining 200 buckets to disappear quickly at this price, so we would advise hurrying. We will accept phone reservations from our customers, so if you would like us to put away a quantity for you, please phone us.
If you care to spread the word among your friends, please feel free to do so.
(And as a reminder, we will close at 4:00pm on Christmas Eve. We will reopen for regular hours on Saturday, December 26th.)
Merry Christmas from our hive to yours!

Dog Needs a Home
Sister Carol Lee Barnes will be leaving soon to serve a Mission in SLC! From Sister Barnes:
Deborah Dalton is taking care of my dog for a week only as I get ready to serve my mission in the Utah Salt Lake City Mission to labor with the Family and Church History Mission in Salt Lake City.
My Yorkie male, 3 years old, needs a good home, free.
His name is Tommy Boy. He is a lovable dog. He has to be fed certain foods and takes medicine two times a day. The medicine costs only around ten dollars every three or four months. He is in good health. If you need more information, you can call Steven or Natalie 714 624 9379. They will be home around Dec 27th. If anyone wants to take the dog before, they can take him. I will really miss him a lot.
Thank you so much,
Love,
Carol Lee Barnes

Ward Choir
The Ward Choir would like to invite anyone who enjoys singing Christmas songs, to practice with us in the Relief Society Room this Sunday (Dec 13th) at 9am. We will be singing in Sacrament Meeting the same day. The song is "Were you there on that Christmas Night?" It is written in 2 parts - with the men singing one part, and the women singing the other part. This is a great opportunity to share your talents and express your love of music by helping out the ward choir. Also, as a bonus, you get a chance to save a soft bench for your family to sit on later. Hope to see you there!

Divine Nature Value Project
We are doing a service project for Personal Progress, and all proceeds go to three families so we can buy them Christmas. We are selling homemade cinnamon rolls like we did for girls camp. They are $10 a dozen and $6 for a half dozen. We will have them sometime next week, not sure exactly when, but they will be available for pick-up at my house, or a dollar extra for delivery. If people are interested, they can email me at williamsfaith1@cox.net or aurora.harris@cox.net or call at 721-7881.
Thank you very much,
Aurora Harris and Faith Williams

Natvities Needed for the Chorale
Please see note below from Abbey Bell.
I am the rep. in our ward for the Nativity displays at the Ozark Mormon Chorale. Since I am in Primary it is difficult to get into relief society to announce it and bring the sign up sheet. If there are any sisters who weren't able to sign up earlier they can contact me by phone 208-716-1989 or email abigailobell@gmail.com and sign up to bring a nativity set. (For those of you who might be new this year, they need these nativities to be displayed in the gym. They are on "loan" for 2 days, then you get them back. =) Even if you don't have a nativity for them to use, you should check out the display... it's really amazing!)
It is going to be at the Rogers Stake Center. Drop off is Thursday Dec. 10 from 5 - 8:30 pm in the stake center gym and Pick up is Saturday Dec. 12 at 9 pm. Also they have asked that a few sisters from our ward volunteer to come to the stake center around 8:15 am on Friday the 11th to help with setting up the nativities and decorations. I am thinking that 4 or 5 sisters would be plenty. Please contact me if you are able to come and help.
Thank you!

WOW~ Woman Of Worth
Charman Jean Beasley
was born in Greenville Mississippi. She grew up in Greenville and Southaven Mississippi. Which is about ten miles from Memphis Tennessee
Charmen & Billy have been married for 15 years and they have two kids Christopher 10 and Carolyn just turned 8 in November.
Charman has lived in many different places. Like: Jacksonville NC, Greenville MS, Hernando MS, Southaven MS, & Branson MO.
But her favorite place would have to be….Bentonville, AR!
”I have to say Bentonville is the best place I have ever lived because It is only a 5 1/2 hour drive from family … I do miss the ocean in North Carolina though… but, I love the Centerton ward.
Charman’s favorite color~ purple
Charman’s favorite food~ pasta (yummy)!
Charman is a Dental Assistant and in her free time she enjoys fishing and playing Farmville.
One of her most embarrassing moments was when she was little and it is best told in her own words…. “My mom and brother for some reason always called me turkey. So on my first day of school we are taking turns in front of the class saying our names. I did not know my last name so I figured it must be turkey. So, I said my name was Charman Jean Turkey. I bet some of those kids are still laughing at me. I thought I would never get over that.”
Something about me that you would not know is….
“I use to mannequin model for Sears and modeled for World Wide posters in Memphis.
My mom wanted me to be the next Miss America.
But that was her dream not mine.
I quit all that stuff when I moved out of her house."
Charman’s dream would be that her kids stay close to the gospel and get married in the temple someday.
Of all her callings her favorites are: food storage coordinator, primary, Sunday school secretary,
assistant cub scout leader
relief society board member, nursery,
& activities committee.
But my all time favorite would be
cub scouts and the eight year olds in primary because,
I did not go through primary as a child
so I felt like I was learning a lot teaching the 8 year olds.
Charmans favorite Latter-day Prophet is Gordon B Hinckley. She was able to hear him talk in Southaven MS once and it was wonderful!
Charman is an amazing woman with a lot of strength in her young age. We are lucky to have her in our RS and ward. Be sure to grab her in the hall and introduce yourself if you do not already know each other
Does anyone need a Christmas tree?
We have a Christmas tree that we no longer need. It is a 7 ft. prelit tree that needs a new home. First person to come and pick it up can have it! If you would like to know more about it call Kate Wilcox 685-5928

Humanitarian Angel Tree and Food Drive
Our Humanitarian activity for the month of December will be to have our own angel tree for the local Women's Shelter. This tree will be set up in the foyer of the church and will be decorated with paper ornaments that have items written on the back. Please take an ornament from the tree, purchase the item(s) listed and return with the ornament to either Kristen Cornelsen, Lyndsay Jensen, Carrie Costello, or Melissa Morales.
We will also be doing a food drive for the shelter. While speaking with them, they expressed a strong need for food donations. Next to our angel tree will be a box where you can drop off any non perishable food items you may be willing to donate. The tree and the food donation box will be at the church this Sunday and all items and food will need to be turned in by Wednesday December 16th. Hopefully through our service we can get the needs of the women and their children at the shelter taken care of, and maybe give them a little something extra as well!
