Worst Case Retirement Planning
Dubious about Social Security, some financial planners are adjusting expectations. Clients in their 30 g'set no government checks figured into their retirement stash; in their 40’ and 50’s, half their estimated benefits; in their 60’s, 75%. (Source: Wall Street Journal)
Community Service
Make a note now to bring a non-perishable food item to place in our community service basket at the December Luncheon. We will be donating the food to the Grasonville Head Start to be distributed to their families this holiday season. Let’s share the bounty with our families in QA County.

American Holiday
Ideas
If you are looking for an American made gift idea for the coming holidays, consider one of the following.
Gift certificates from your local hair salon or barber
Gym membership
American owned car detail shops and car washes - gift certificate
Lawn mowed for the summer
Drive way plowed for the winter
Gift to American (especially locally) owned restaurants
Computer tune up by a local business
Hand made craft ideas as gifts - check out local crafters
A ticket to a show at a hometown theatre: Church Hill, Avon - Easton, Todd - Chesapeake College
Make your holiday about encouraging American small businesses.
Thanks for these ideas from my high school friend, CR.
Anecdote (an-ik-doht)
n. a tale of whoa.
Watching a movie recently, I couldn’t hear the dialogue over the chatter of two women if front of me. Unable to bear it any longer, I tapped one of them on the shoulder, “Excuse me,” I said, “I can’t hear.”
She snapped back, "I should hope not. This is a private conversation!”
