Squeezing every drop from a dollar
August 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment
By John Dillin, The Christian Science Monitor, August 19, 2008
When I go on my daily four-mile walk and see a penny lying on the ground, I pick it up. Scottish habits die hard, even when your family has been in America for over 300 years.
Recently here in Arlington, Va., the lowly penny became symbolic. For the first time, it now costs one cent to draw a gallon of water out of the tap in your home. Yes, even water prices are going up fast. Enjoy a long shower? That’ll now be 40 cents. Wash your car? Fifty cents. Water the lawn for an hour? Two dollars.
Gasoline, airplane tickets, cooking oil, bread, and now, water–sometimes it seems that the price of everything is headed for the moon.
But you can do something about it.

Who the October 2008 Educators Seminar is for, and why every Family educator should attend
August 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment
You’ve probably heard about the exciting Educators Seminar (Teacher Training) that is now only 7 weeks away. The Educators Seminar is a 6 day event, plus 2 days of travel in an arrival day and departure day on either end. (October 12-19th. Arrive on the 12th, Depart on the 19th). The Seminar is being organized for FD and MM Family members.
Attendees need to RSVP by Monday, August 25th, in order for us to be able to book your ticket to the seminar and get the right price.
You might be wondering if you should attend it, who exactly it’s for and what exactly this seminar is about. We’re all busy people, especially our teachers and parents, so to pull out of our demanding lives for a full 8 days is an important decision that you will want to be sure is worth your time and effort.
We’ve received a few questions from friends and Family along these lines, as well as requests for more specifics on what material will be covered and who the seminar will benefit. Some have asked; “Is it for new teachers?” “Should experienced teachers attend? Will they learn anything new there?” So we wanted to write and try to help you decide on attending by answering these questions for all of you, and giving you a fuller picture purpose of this Seminar, Outline of what will be covered (please see the outline at the end of this memo), and how the Educators Seminar could benefit you and your Home.
Read this and more details on how to RSVP here.
