Money Management Seminar

OCTOBER 1, 2008               6:30 – 7:30 pm

Money Management     Individuals will learn how to manage money, set goals, select the best budgeting style and create a budget that works. “Setting financial goals and deciding where we spend our money are the least important steps in managing our money”. FALSE    Actually these are the first two steps in the process. To begin managing money, you must first know exactly where you are financially. Taking an honest look at where the money is going gives you a chance to make appropriate financial goals. Without financial goals, there’s no reason not to spend every penny you make.

PAYMENTS REQUESTS/REIMBURSEMENTS:

Please be reminded that checks are written every Tuesday (exceptions:  vacation and illness) morning by 7:00 a.m.  Therefore requests for checks are to be in the church office no later than 10:00 a.m. on Mondays.  Please NO EXCEPTIONS.  Be considerate with your requests.  The process is a time consuming matter which also requires two signatures.  It is inconvenient and costly to request signatories to make two trips to the office and not always available.  Your cooperation is most appreciated.

TRASH - All trash is to be placed in the dumpster after any function held in the Family Life Center and/or the Church. Your group is held responsible to make sure all barrels have liners prior to trash being placed in them and once the function is over the trash is to be hauled to the dumpster and NOT placed in the trash can outside the kitchen door of the Fellowship Hall.  This trash can has been placed there to aid you in getting the trash to the dumpster if you can not haul it in a vehicle on your way out.  Other than books and broken down boxes, all trash placed in the dumpster **must** be placed in plastic bags as set out in “Waste Management” contract.  Failure to do so will result in losing our right to the dumpster.  The Property Committee will be monitoring to make sure we are in compliance with Waste Management as well as Northview Regulations

Social Club News

On Sunday October 12, 2008, Northview’s Social Club will hold its annual Trunk or Treat activity at 1:00 in the church parking lot for our Hollins Manor members.  The residents love dressing up in costumes, decorating a goodie bag, and then walking from car to car with bag in tow.
         This is where the Social Club needs Northview’s help!  If you would like to actively join in on the fun, you may sponsor a “trunk”. Some sponsors go “all out” and decorate their cars and wear costumes.  A box will be placed in the narthex for those who would like to donate “treats”.  Members love candy (sugar-free), diet sodas, fruit, crackers, socks, gloves, note pads, toiletries, gum.  We are also in need of used costumes including masks, funny hair, bow ties.
          If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for this fun event, please notify a Social Club volunteer.  Thank you Northview for your continued support of this ministry.  We DO make a difference in their lives and have witnessed many positive changes since we initiated this program.  The smiles are contagious!   Social Club
