could be your lucky day!
In celebration of the
Community Foundation's 25th Anniversary, we are launching an
online giving campaign that could benefit our any endowed
fund held at the Community Foundation. Yes, you can donate to the
charitable organization of your choice. Donations between
$250 and $1000 could be matched at a 1:4 ratio as a way to leverage
your charitable dollars as a donor.
The match will apply to donations made between 12:00 a.m. Friday,
November 13th through 1:00 a.m. Saturday, November 14th or until the
$5000 cap is committed, whichever comes first. So, plan to make
your donation early in this 25-hour campaign opportunity.
Donations can be made at www.comfdn.org by clicking "Donate
Now".
So, plan to increase
your charitable deductions to your favorite charity, improve the
quality of life in Grant County, and make your money work for you all
at the same time.
And, tell your
friends, too...Matches like this don't come around often!

Senior-Friendly
TV Remote Controls
Dear
Savvy Living,
Can you recommend a simple TV remote control for seniors? The remote
I currently have is so complex and hard to see I'm almost afraid to
use it in fear of screwing something up. What's out there that can
help an old woman?

GE's
Profit Plunges
"From
jet engines to power generation, financial services to water
processing, and medical imaging to media content," the
Fairfield, Connecticut-based General Electric is one of the world's
largest conglomerates.
Long-Term
Treasurys Up, Short Term Treasurys Down
Long-term
Treasury prices increased on Friday, pushing yields lower. The rise
in prices is thought to be tied to a report released this week by the
University of Michigan suggesting that consumer sentiment has waned
in recent weeks as economic data suggests little improvement in
unemployment figures.
Freddie
Mac released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey. The
report showed the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 4.92%.
It was up for the week ending October 15, 2009, compared with last
week when it averaged 4.87%.
