<p>Here is a great flyer you can PRINT out to distribute. It lays out the highlights of Medicare for All... or FREEDOM CARE. Of course you can also get details of the plan by Googling it to find the actual Medicare for All bill, as well as the conservative based Mercatus Report which concluded it would save the country 3 trillion dollars over the first 10 years. Basically it will cost the government more, but save the people even more than that... so net savings overall. Keep in mind that…</p>
<p>Here is a great flyer you can PRINT out to distribute. It lays out the highlights of Medicare for All... or FREEDOM CARE. Of course you can also get details of the plan by Googling it to find the actual Medicare for All bill, as well as the conservative based Mercatus Report which concluded it would save the country 3 trillion dollars over the first 10 years. Basically it will cost the government more, but save the people even more than that... so net savings overall. Keep in mind that projected costs will be HIGHEST in the first 10 years due to transition costs. During that period "tweaks" will be made to improve efficiencies here and there. Medicare has TWO independent watchdog agencies that root out waste and fraud... which is why is has the LOWEST of any healthcare plan. It also has the highest SATISFACTION ratings from it's users.</p>
<p></p>
<p>On costs... there IS a 4% payroll tax to cover healthcare. BUT... for a family of four.. the average healthcare costs, when you add up insurance premiums, copays and deductibles... equal around 20-30%, less for individuals of course. <strong>For individuals the savings might be just 5% of income (my savings would be around $3800 per year), for families of 4 it would average 15%-26% of income.</strong>.. but whether it would be a few thousand, or over ten thousand, Medicare for All WILL save you money!

<p><font size="6">Network like a Rock Star!</font></p>
<p><font size="4">… <i>with these tips even the most socially awkward can develop new business connections like a used car salesman on amphetemines.</i></font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">OK... so like NOW I run a networking group. But the whole reason I GOT better with the "glad-handing" thing was because I used to be one of the socially awkward wall-flower types that would hover by the door till it was time to go.<br/></font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">Seriously. <br/></font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">Being shy is a handicap that will haunt you all of your life and undermine your ability to succeed in your business or career. </font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">It also limits your ability to have FUN and enjoy LIFE. The saddest thing I ever heard was my 92 year old Aunt, on her deathbed, saying the only thing she regretted was ... <i>"I wish I had had more self confidence, because I could have done so much more with my life."</i></font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">And YES, networking is important for EVERYONE! <br/> ... Are you <em>KIDDING?!</em></font></p>
<p><em><font size="4"> </font></em></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">In this economy networking can help you <em>keep your job</em>. Even if you are not in a "sales" position, networking for your company should be something you are doing!</font></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><font size="4"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/vimarautorepair/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img width="250" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2996853494?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="250" class="align-left" style="padding: 5px;"/></a>What do you think it would mean to your organization/company if you could bring them leads to new clients or business? If there are lay-offs, (everything else being equal) being seen as a team player and a RAINMAKER means you WILL be the one they keep. I used to earn a 5% commission as a SECRETARY, on top of my salary, because I would "bird-dog" leads for the sales department at networking and social events and flip them to the sales manager for follow up. Just because you don’t SELL – doesn’t mean you can’t MARKET by being a "cheerleader" for the company that <em>supports</em> you.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">There is a philosophy that successful people live by...<a href="http://connectionsgroups.weebly.com/sponsorship.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img width="230" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998340597?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="230" class="align-right"/></a></font></p>
<p> </p>
<p><font size="4"><strong>"You'll never get paid more for what you do, <br/> until you do more than what you get paid for." </strong></font></p>
<p> </p>
<p><font size="4">Networking is a way to create <br/> more VALUE in your PRODUCT. </font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">Your product is... YOU.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">Another reason EVERYONE should network is… according to a Compass Poll… over 50% of JOBS are secured by networking and/or referral. I know that has been true in my life…. over half the jobs I’ve had, I got because I was “recruited” or referred into the position. When XYZ Company sees what a great job you are doing promoting ABC Company (even if you just work in the mailroom), they WANT you like a dog wants a bone.</font></p>
<p> </p>
<p><font size="4">What if the worst does happen? What if you are suddenly laid off from your job? If you have not developed any contacts outside your current employer... who will you get job referrals from? A strong network of professional contacts is like money in the bank.</font></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><br/></span></p>
<p><font size="4"><a href="http://connectionsgroups.weebly.com/sponsorship.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img width="178" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998333404?profile=RESIZE_180x180" class="align-left"/></a>Of course… if you ARE a business owner, or in sales, the reasons you need to get out there and network are pretty obvious. Networking leads to referrals, referrals lead to SALES and new clients. </font></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Referrals are 100% better than advertising or “cold calls” because they come with an implied endorsement! Hate “cold calling?” – Start networking! </font></strong></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">OK… but what if you are a "social or networking wussy?" Your palms get wet, your knees start shaking like an elm in a strong breeze, and your tongue turns into a giant cotton ball?</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">There is an EASY cure... get out there and do what scares you. </font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">Yes, you heard me. Do it over and over and over again and, very soon, it will be firmly part of your "comfort zone." It works… that is how I went from “social wussy” to public speaker.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Here are some tips that will have you glad-handing <br/> like a starlet on the red carpet...</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">1) Make a list of all the things that scare the cr@p out of you. Do at least 2-3 every week.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">2) Make yourself this deal... I'm going to go and do "so and so" and, if I get really shaky, I will leave. Then, if you cut out early, don't beat yourself up. It gets easier and you will have a sense of accomplishment that you tried (I used to play a game where I’d stay 10 more minutes).</font></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><br/></span></p>
<p><font size="4"><a href="http://www.ConnectionsGroups.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341129?profile=original" width="298" style="padding: 4px;" class="align-right"/></a>3) If you drink, have a cocktail to relax you, but not too many. I alternate a cocktail with a soda, iced tea or water, to insure I don't get bombed. Another trick… Before you go in, take 10 slow, deep breaths, with your eyes closed, and think of your favorite place.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">4) Keep in mind that NOBODY cares about you. Really. 90% of the people in the room have their own issues and are wondering if they are too fat, too ugly, if they wore the right clothes, etc. They are NOT watching as you walk through the door and, frankly, won't notice if you leave early. In fact, chances are you don't even KNOW them, until you introduce yourself. After that, you probably have a new friend.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">5) Get there early and ask the organizers if you can help with checking people in (fill out name tags for them – it will help you remember people). If you have a "job" to do you will feel more comfortable and, when everyone is all checked in, then you can go "schmooze" and you will have already spoken to many of them!</font></p>
<p><font size="4"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998340597?profile=original"><br/></a> <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341405?profile=original"><img class="align-left" width="200" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341405?profile=RESIZE_320x320"/></a></font><span style="font-size: large;">6) Overdress slightly. Wearing your best outfit will make you feel more confident. If you are a man... learn to use an iron. The difference between “business casual” and slovenly is wrinkles.</span></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">7) Great opening line... "I really don't know anyone here... do you?" Either they will, and will introduce you, or they won't, and you just broke the ice and can introduce yourself to them.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">8) Ask them about themselves. You don't have to be witty and conversational if you can just ask questions. People love to talk about themselves and the more you know about them the more likely it is that you can refer someone to them at a future time. Make notes on the back of their business card so you remember them later. "Dog just died," "daughter plays soccer," etc. Keep in mind that ALL the folks there are just like YOU… nice people with their own strengths, weaknesses and insecurities just looking for a friendly face. Just because someone LOOKS “perfect” and put together… doesn’t mean they are. Often, it’s just the opposite.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">9) Don't give them a monologue about what you do. Keep it brief and, if you can throw in a witty, self deprecating one-liner, you'll look cool and sophisticated PLUS they are more likely to remember you later. The less you say about what you do, the more likely they will ask YOU questions. You are not here to "sell" them on your “thing.” You are just here to start a conversation and plant the seed of a relationship.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">10) Try to give them a piece of valuable information. For instance, telling them about another networking event coming up is easy and works with everyone.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">11) Be a "social conduit" ...when you meet two people that you think could be good referral sources for each other.. drag them over to each other and introduce them. </font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">12) Carry the business cards of people you have met with you so you can pass their name along to someone as a referral (or have their contact info in your cell phone).</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">13) FOLLOW UP! Send everyone you met a nice email saying it was great to meet them. DON'T pitch your company (your “signature” is on your email, right?), but close out by saying you hope to see them again... and by the way... did you mention there was another networking event at... ? Maybe you'll see them there.</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341423?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="260" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341423?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="260" style="padding: 3px;" class="align-right"/></a>14) GREAT way to "hook up" again with business people you want to get to know better... just phone them, or email them, and say that ... "Some of my business associates and I are going to happy hour at... was hoping you might be free to join us." Invite 10-20 people you have met recently, you are sure to have a few show up (this is how Connections Groups got started). This is a great way to get to know people better without having to foot the bill for lunch. When folks are invited to meet up for happy hour, they are expecting to get their own tab. By the way… what IS the difference between “networking” and “happy hour?” – one is potentially tax deductible!</font></p>
<p><font size="4"> </font></p>
<p><font size="4">Follow these simple tips and you’ll be a ”Networking Rock Star” in no time flat!</font></p>

<p><strong><span class="font-size-3">NEWS...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Yesterday was just the 3rd meeting of our <strong>Downtown Coffee and Conversation Group</strong> at the Panera on Lake Eola. We had about 10 people who showed up... 2 a tad late but it was a good enough group that we all got value out of it and several people made VERY valuable connections.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">For instance Michael Koretzka, a graphic designer and artist, met Bill Salinsky, who owns a printing business called Minuteman Press (see Bills info below in case you need business cards or other printed items).</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Megan Kaczmarek, from Probity Pools, was there and met Phyllis Burzee, a Real Estate Pro who also has a marvelous business selling her own line of natural "pain relief" cremes and products... Swing-lube.com, marketed especially for golfers.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Rachel Shipley, of Jim and Rachel and the International Round Table fame, popped in at the end. Jim, Rachel and Connections Groups will be launching a joint venture event very soon... so stay tuned for details... it will be exclusive and limited attendance.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><span class="font-size-3">RESOURCES...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Bill Salinsky, Minuteman Press: 407-895-8448</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3">... call Bill for any printing needs. Mention Connections Groups and he'll give you a special deal... for instance, get 500 free business cards with your next printing order of... whatever. He also can get you things like large banners, T-shirts, etc.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Michael Koretzka, Graphic Design:407-256-0372</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3">... need a logo, need to refresh your graphics, or get custom ads or flyers designed? Call Michael. He'll hook you up!</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><span class="font-size-3">OTHER items and SPECIALS...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Remember I mentioned the Queensboro company? That's where I get my logo-ed shirts, my computer bags with the Connections Groups logo, etc. I like that they don't have a minimum purchase... you can get just ONE of something for a small surcharge and NO surcharge if you order a minimum of 5 (mix and match) items.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Wearing shirts with your company LOGO really steps up your game, increases your level of professionalism and has you running through the tall grass with the big dogs!</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">On your FIRST order you get 30% off... FREE logo set up, AND free shipping, AND a $20 credit.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">TODAY... When you try Queensboro today, you'll get 30% off your private label embroidered polos, hats and more! It's happening all day here at Queensboro. Plus, get 100% off your logo setup fees, embroidery fees and shipping fees with your first order!</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">SIGN up here to create an account and you'll get emails of regular specials!</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3">... I've never paid more than $15 for a nice shirt... they always have great sales and close outs.</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.queensboro.com/ref/EBUOBEOOCSN">http://www.queensboro.com/ref/EBUOBEOOCSN</a></span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font-size-3">Worth Unlimited</span></strong><br/> <span class="font-size-3">As you may know, I taught Tax Strategies for almost nine years, but have worked with THIS company now for TEN!! Time sure flies!</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">If you know someone looking for an additional income stream... Worth has a "REFER & EARN" system that simply pays you to REFER. There are two ways to do it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Casual - No cost, not even a formal "sign up" - you get about $500 per client/referral</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3">Sign up! - $149 one time fee (yearly renewal $50) - you get up to $1000 per client/referral</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">If you are ALREADY talking to your clients about.... money, real estate, financial planning, financing, credit, or retirement... THIS is a perfect thing to just "throw into" your conversation.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">ANYone can "refer & earn" though... so if you know someone looking for part/full time income, let them know.</span></p>

<p align="center" style="text-align: left;"><span class="font-size-3">Gmail has now created different “tabs” and will automatically sort your mail for you. Personally, I find it hard to remember to check multiple “tabs” or boxes to find all my email and, if I let promotional emails (or emails from social media sites) go into another box I’m going to miss valuable networking invitations, sales leads, as well as group emails from my business partners.<br/> <br/></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><b>If you are like me… and want ALL your important email going to ONE BOX… you can change your settings in gmail very easily…<br/> <br/></b></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">1) First…. Click on the “settings” wheel here…. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341270?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341270?profile=original" width="335" class="align-center"/></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">2) Choose “configure inbox”<br/> <br/></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">3) “DeSelect” all tabs… this will put your email box back to the old way and insure YOU control where your email goes.<br/> <br/></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">You can also choose to allow some tabs and not others. Unfortunately, Google is going to choose what emails go where… and what are important or not... they consider all "group emails" to be spam... even though they might be business groups you subscribe to for valuable leads. They don't consider that for many of us "social media" is more "business" than "social" and that, again, valuable sales leads, networking meetings, and more, come through that medium.<br/> <br/></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">I make an average of $500 commission per referral/sale… so, naturally I would prefer to spend 10 minutes a day “sorting” my email myself… rather than miss out on a valuable business lead, or networking event because I didn’t remember to check a separate folder.<br/> <br/></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><b>TIP:</b> You can easily <em>“STAR”</em> the most important emails… then it’s a SIMPLE matter to hit the <em>“Starred”</em> link on the left side to see ONLY those emails that YOU decided were most important. This allows you to keep all emails in one box... but easily reference, and find, older ones that need more follow up.<br/> <br/></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Hope this keeps you from missing out on any valuable sales leads or opportunities!</span></p>

<p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><a href="http://www.godslittlelambs.com/" target="_blank"><img class="align-right" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998340942?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="250"></img></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;" class="font-size-5">God's Little Lambs - More than just Day Care</span><br/> <span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;"><em><span class="font-size-3">this West Orlando center offers a full enrichment program</span></em></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.godslittlelambs.com/" target="_blank"><img width="250" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998340942?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="250" class="align-right"/></a>From the name you can tell that "God's Little Lambs" is a faith based organization, but what you can't tell is how much time and effort owner Judith Shealey has put into developing enrichment programs for the little angels in her care... aged 6 weeks to 12 years old.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">On the outside Gods Little Lambs may look like a typical day care or pre-school, but pull back the curtain and you'll instantly see the "wonder of Oz" that is reflected in the curriculum developed by Ms Judith.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.godslittlelambs.com/" target="_blank"><img width="157" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341308?profile=RESIZE_180x180" width="157" class="align-left"/></a>A former nurse and supportive military wife, Ms Judith began her career in child development back in 1988. Moving often as a globe trotting spouse and patriot, it was too much of a challenge to transfer nursing credentials to the various areas and countries Ms Judith found her family in ... from California, to Texas, Japan and Germany hence, the idea of a child care business was born.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">Of course, going from the challenging environment of nursing to looking after little ones was certainly an easy transition.. perhaps too easy. Ms Judith, is not someone to be satisfied unless she has a challenge to face so, of course, she felt a drive to offer MORE than the usual child care situation.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341274?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341274?profile=original" width="182" class="align-right"/></a>Over the years a winning curriculum has been developed by Ms Judith, one that prepares the little ones in her charge for their "graduation" into school. While God's Little Lambs looks after children of varied ages, they do so combining age appropriate lessons and classes in art, reading, math, manners & citizenship, team work & sharing, and even language development - including foreign language (<a href="http://www.godslittlelambs.com/curriculum.html" target="_blank">see more on class topics</a>). Spanish is taught for 30 minutes 3 times a week, and soon, so will French!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">Because GLL's recognizes the challenges of working parents, they are open 24 hours per day, offering meals, snacks, and even after school pick ups. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">Here's more specifics on the curriculum at God's Little Lamb's...</span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">Babies & Toddlers - WEE LEARN</span><br/> <span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">A Christian based educational system, WEE LEARN is framed by theory and a philosophy of life. Led by faith and grounded in evidence-based practices, programs using the WEE Learn philosophy and curriculum work to support children and families (<a href="http://www.cdealliance.org/curriculum.html" target="_blank">click to learn more</a>).</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">All ages - A BEKA Book</span><br/> <span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3"><em>A Beka Book</em> provides Christian schools and homeschools with outstanding curriculum and textbooks built on a foundation of academic excellence and Christian character training. Schools and homeschools benefit from our treasury of textbooks and teaching materials that reflect the very best in traditional education, comprehensive curriculum, and eternal truths (<a href="http://www.abeka.com/" target="_blank">learn more about A Beka Book</a>).</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">4 & 5 yr olds - FREE VPK</span><br/> <span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten is a government funded, free learning program for children who have turned 4 before Sept 2012. Because of the funding by the government, VPK is a secular program where no specific religious affiliation is covered. However, where GLL might have a "devotional" for those in the Christian based classes, VPK provides the same moral and guiding messages through "Circle Time" - a daily self inspirational group lesson.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3"><span class="style17"><a href="http://www.godslittlelambs.com/ourprogram.html" target="_blank"><img width="400" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2998341327?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="400" class="align-right"/></a>For the little ones, God's Little Lamb's professionally equipped nursery provides a cheerful and nurturing environment where your child can thrive and grow. All personnel have many years of experience and must demonstrate superior character, patience and compassion. You are trusting GLL with the most important little person in the world, and they do not take that lightly. Daily schedules include indoor and outdoor play, songs, stories and finger plays. Verbalization and socialization are cultivated and a “daily events” paper is filled out each day to keep you abreast of your child’s activities</span>.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3"><span class="style17">Except for the govt funded, secular free VPK class, basic Christian beliefs and values are taught through the use of bible stories and songs. God's Little Lamb's takes many opportunities throughout the day to praise and reinforce good moral choices, and also to communicate to the children that they are a special and precious gifts from God</span>.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" class="font-size-3">Please come down and visit us at God's Little Lambs. We'd love to meet you, your precious ones and show you that we are MORE than your typical "day care" environment.</span></p>

<br/> <span class="font-size-4">1) Beach weddings are, by nature, more casual affairs. More casual means less bankroll, less stress, and more sand between your toes.</span><br/> <br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-4">2) Your wedding and reception are at the same location, making it easier for guests, creating less stress and meaning you aren't paying for two separate venues and worrying about transportation costs between the two.</span><br/> <br/> <br/>
<table align="center" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;">

</tbody>
</table>
<br/> <span class="font-size-4">3) Family hasn't been together in a while? Your beach wedding can be combined with a family reunion.</span><br/> <br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-4">4) Moontides "community room" is perfect for your reception. It opens right onto the beach itself, so you can have the ceremony down at the waters edge, then just walk up a bit to pop the champagne!</span><br/> <br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-4">5) Your wedding party will appreciate the casual nature of your wedding and it's lack of impact on their pocketbook. Bridesmaid's dresses are generally sundresses that can be worn again. Often Groomsmen simply color coordinate in matching board shorts and shirts. Even your wedding dress can be unusual. We've seen more elaborate wedding dresses on the beach and we've seen white bathing suits with wraps for the bride as well. Suit your personality.</span><br/> <br/> <br/>

</tbody>
</table>
<br/> <span class="font-size-4">6) Spend as much as your wish (or as little), decorating for the ceremony. A short ceremony doesn't even require seating for the guests... just mark off an "aisle" and make an "arch" for the bride/groom to stand. Even if you buy color coordinated beach chairs, you'll spend about the same as you would to rent them and you can give them to the guests as take-away gifts. Another idea... buy color coordinated beach towels and let guests sit on the sand. Look on the internet and Pinterest for ideas that are beautiful, and inexpensive.</span><br/> <br/> <br/>

<br/> <span class="font-size-4">7) For food, Moontide's community room has a "catering kitchen," meaning it doesn't have cooking facilities, but it has room to coordinate and organize your reception food. You can hire a caterer, or do something simple yourself and go for a cold seafood buffet accented with tropical fruits and Pina Colada Punch. You'll spend a fraction of what you would have spent at most wedding venues. </span><br/> <br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-4">8) The beach itself is your "ambience" ...forget fancy centerpieces, banks and banks of flowers or ice sculptures (obviously)... whatever you choose for your "theme" is going to be budget friendly.</span><br/> <br/> <br/>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br/> <span class="font-size-4"><a href="http://pinterest.com/moontidecondos/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.alohaislandweddings.com/sound/jewel%20under%20the%20wedding%20in%20Hawaii%20beach%20bamboo%20arch%20(3).JPG" width="201"/></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<br/> <span class="font-size-4">9) If you're thinking of a destination wedding... no better spot than Moontide. Your attendance is sure to be up, as guests will want to make a long weekend of it and combine it with a family vacation. Moontide's beach apartments are 1-3 bedrooms with full kitchens. No worrying that everyone has to be "entertained" all the time... if the kids get a bit bored... send them back up to the room to watch movies and munch on homemade popcorn.</span><br/> <br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-4">10) Save on the Honeymoon! Come on... your wedding is already being held at Moontide... where the whole world wants to come for vacation! Instead of cutting out after the wedding ... just book yourself an apartment a little further away (on a different floor) from the rest of your guests... but hang out for the weekend enjoying the company of family and friends. Take the money you save by having your honeymoon right here at Moontide and put a downpayment on your dream house instead!</span><br/> <br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-4">We can think of lots of other reasons to have your wedding at Moontide... but we'll just give you two more... Veronica and Teresa! They are your "secret weapon" and will give you all kinds of great tips, as well as helping out with some of the details. In fact, I bet they'll make your wedding so special... you'll want to come back EVERY year to re-enact it!</span><br/> <br/> <br/>

<p><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/worth-unlimited-large-debt-can-harm-personal-relationships-2012-08-02" target="_blank"><img src="http://mw3.wsj.net/MW5/content/story/images/PR-Logo-Marketwire.gif" class="align-left"/></a> NEW YORK, NY, Aug 02, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Maintaining a strong, healthy relationship is something that requires work -- and whether the relationship is a marriage or simply a committed partnership, the occasional source of tension or strain is inevitable.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"> </span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">According to a recent NPR story, some of the most significant forms of relationship strain are financial troubles, specifically large amounts of debt. NPR indicates that, as debts rise, more and more couples are experiencing friction. This report has won the attention of Worth Unlimited, a company devoted to personal debt mitigation, financial management tools and wealth building.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"> </span></p>
<p id=""><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4705552_financial-stress-affect-marriage.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.ehowcdn.com/article-new/ehow/images/a04/fj/8g/financial-stress-affect-marriage-800x800.jpg" class="align-right"/></a>NPR's reporting specifically singles out college debt and the interest rates that accompany it. Unpaid college loans are increasingly prevalent among young people, the article says, and as a result, more and more relationships and marriages between young people are suffering. The article notes that many young people avoid the legal implications of marriage altogether, assuming it will make their shared debt problems even more difficult to handle. While college debts do not transfer to a spouse, the article says, the practical ramifications are still serious.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"> </span></p>
<p id=""><span class="font-size-3">NPR's report has drawn the attention of Worth Unlimited, a company that seeks to help individuals minimize their personal debt even as they accumulate further wealth. Worth Unlimited developed its Worth Account system to offer individuals with an intuitive way to manage their finances and make progress toward their goal of debt freedom.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"> </span></p>
<p id=""><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://WorthGPS.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/12/07/business/economy/financefight-divorce.jpg?width=400" width="400" class="align-left"/></a>Worth Unlimited has responded to the NPR story with a new statement to the press. "One of the leading causes of stress in most relationships is that of difficult finances," says company founder Skyler Witman. "With an option like the Worth Account from Worth Unlimited, couples are reporting that the stress levels in their relationships have decreased substantially."</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"> </span></p>
<p id=""><span class="font-size-3">Witman goes on to describe the Worth Account as something similar to a GPS system, only instead of providing directions to drivers, it offers financial guidance, allowing users to set financial goals and then allow the Worth Account system to guide them in the right direction. Worth Unlimited's system is noteworthy for allowing individuals to achieve their financial goals with minimal involvement. In fact, the Worth Unlimited system can lead individuals toward wealth accumulation and debt freedom with just a few minutes of login time every month.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"> </span></p>
<p id=""><span class="font-size-3">In addition to its minimal-involvement interface, the Worth Account system is also known for its intuitive nature and ease of use. The system does the majority of the work itself, Witman says, offering financial monitoring and cash flow analysis around the clock and prompting users to stay on course, financially speaking.</span></p>

<p><a href="https://www.createspace.com/3855092" target="_blank"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">How Doug Guetzloe Helped Save Taxpayers $50 Billion</font></a> <font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><br/> Authored by Gerald William Shaw</font></p>
<p><font size="3"><b><br/></b> This book about Orlando activist, political consultant, and radio show host, Doug Guetzloe will open your eyes to how local politics work - and the influence it has over your life and the national playing field that governs our country.</font></p>
<p><font size="3"> </font></p>
<p><font size="3">Doug Guetzloe has led his grassroots organization, Ax the Tax, to numerous victories over wasteful government spending through the defeat of unnecessary tax proposals. He formed a nationwide alliance with anti-tax supporters, but also gained political enemies who tried to silence him along the way, including sending him to jail for the petty offense of not providing a disclaimer on a political mailer. Guetzloe is the only person in America "sentenced to incarceration due to missing seven words on a flier." And the sentence occurred after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled such a disclaimer was unconstitutional.<br/> <a href="https://www.createspace.com/3855092" target="_blank"><img src="https://caps-public.s3.amazonaws.com/content/3855092/THUMBNAIL_IMAGE" style="padding: 4px;" class="align-right"/></a>Guetzloe anticipated opposition to his political views and anti-tax campaigns, but never imagined being jailed on his First Amendment rights. It was not the seven words missing on a political flier that irked Guetzloe's enemies and resulted in an unusually harsh jail sentence for something so trivial. It was Guetzloe himself who annoyed the speech police. The underhanded attacks on him have sometimes backfired. A car identical to his went up in flames one night in front of his house. But that attempt to silence him led to the conviction of a high-ranking Florida official for shady dealings with a casino. In another case, jurors took 30 minutes to vindicate him following a phony theft charge.<br/> <br/> Little did special interests realize the indomitable spirit they created when Guetzloe stepped forward in 1982 to form Ax the Tax, the organization that would be at the core of conflict and resistance against the political establishment for the next three decades, saving taxpayers billions of dollars through major victories over proposed tax increases.<br/> <br/> Guetzloe gained the admiration of supporters and even those who at times disagreed with him politically. His single-handed efforts at creating grassroots organizations during uphill battles provided average citizens with a determination and belief they could indeed take on seemingly insurmountable odds and beat City Hall, no matter how powerful. Guetzloe taught them they were not serfs who needed handouts and breadcrumbs from the power-hungry elite. His devotion to individualism and a deep affection for the exceptional American spirit led to his emergence as a bold leader who rallied a strong citizenry to overcome government schemes, scams and deceptions.<br/> He has withstood the unpleasant threats, public attacks on his personal life and imprisonment, but held on to the strong values that shaped his belief in securing economic freedom for others, many of whom have learned the value of grassroots organizing to end the government intrusion into their lives. The messenger and the message endure.</font></p>

<p>U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Wednesday, May 9th, 2012.</p>
<p>Ruling: Mostly False | <a href="http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2012/may/15/us-chamber-commerce/chamber-says-bill-nelson-voted-cut-medicare-500-bi/">Details</a></p>
<h4><br/> <br/> The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is attacking Sen. Bill Nelson's vote in favor of the new health care law.</h4>
</div>
</div>
<p>An ad from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce claims seniors could lose coverage thanks to "Obamacare." It pins the blame on U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat.</p>
<p>Nelson's office is disputing the ad's accuracy and <a href="http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/content/bill-nelson-asks-florida-tv-stations-not-air-us-chamber-ad">has asked</a> TV stations to pull the ad.<br/> <br/> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJWUPvaNOt4">The ad</a> intercuts its own commentary with video footage of Nelson speaking on the Senate floor.<br/> <br/> <strong>U.S. Chamber:</strong> "Obamacare will be a nightmare for Florida seniors. Did Bill Nelson consider the consequences when he cast a deciding vote for Obamacare?"<br/> <br/> <strong>Nelson:</strong> "This legislation is gonna let folks that are happy with their insurance keep it …"<br/> <br/> <strong>U.S. Chamber:</strong> "Wrong. 20 million people could lose their current coverage."<br/> <br/> <strong>Nelson:</strong> "... including our senior citizens who are on Medicare."<br/> <br/> <strong>U.S. Chamber:</strong> "But Senator, seniors will see $500 billion in Medicare cuts to fund Obamacare. Call Bill Nelson. Tell him to support the repeal of Obamacare."</p>
<p>We looked into two statements from the ad.</p>
<p>We fact-checked whether "seniors will see $500 billion in Medicare cuts to fund Obamacare," a claim we've seen many times. In this context, we rated the statement <a href="http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2012/may/15/us-chamber-commerce/chamber-says-bill-nelson-voted-cut-medicare-500-bi/">Mostly False</a>.</p>
<p>We also fact-checked whether "<a href="http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2012/may/15/us-chamber-commerce/us-chamber-seniors-20-million-health-care-law-lose/">20 million people</a> could lose their current coverage." The ad strongly suggests these people would be seniors. We rated this claim <a href="http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2012/may/15/us-chamber-commerce/us-chamber-seniors-20-million-health-care-law-lose/">Pants on Fire</a></p>
