Back to School Savings StrategiesAccording to the National Retail Federation, the typical family is expected to spend over $600 on school supplies, clothing and gadgets for each of their kids! Here are some ideas from Sunset Science Park Federal Credit Union to help you with some back-to-school savings: Partner with another family or two to buy supplies in bulk. Then, split the cost and the supplies. Let your kids raid the home-office supplies, then personalize them in unique ways. For example, decorate inexpensive plain, white binders with digital photos by creating a collage and inserting the page into the plastic outer cover. Host a back-to-school swap. Round up a couple of other moms with kids the same gender as yours but different ages, and host an annual clothes swap. Trade toys and books, too! You’ll save a bundle. No teen likes to hear “clothing” and “budget” in the same sentence. Instead, tell your kid that this year she’ll have a clothing allowance and can choose how it’s spent (while you retain veto power, of course). Teach her that if she splurges on, say, pricey boots and a couple of pairs of skinny jeans, she’ll have to shop the sale rack for everything else. Also, consider setting aside a percentage of the funds. That way she’ll have money left over for any new must-have item. A good way to teach your kids the value of money is to open their own special account like the Sunny Savers Account (for kids up to 12 years old) or the i$ave Account (for teenagers) offered by Sunset Credit Union. Sunset Credit Union serves people who live, work or attend school in Cedar Mill. To learn more about Sunset Credit Union, visit their website at sspfcu.com or stop by their office at 1100 NW Murray Blvd. Open House & Free Preview Music ClassSaturday, August 15, Westside Music School, 1800 NW 167th Place #110, just off NW Cornell Road.

The Wine Cellar on Saltzman has been asked many times if caterers or chocolate makers can use our kitchen. You bet! The kitchen is licensed with the Department of Agriculture, and can be used for both catering services and the preparation of (most) packaged foods to resell. This is a great location for people who prepare foods for farmers’ markets or to sell to their friends and colleagues. Rates vary from $7-20 per hour for the space and use of the appliances. Additional charges apply if people need to use cutlery, cookware, and other equipment. Call (503) 643-5655 to speak with Erin about this space! Legacy GoHealth Urgent Care: Good2GoThis spring, you may have noticed that the sign for Northwest Urgent Care on Cornell has been changed to Legacy - GoHealth Urgent Care. The Legacy Health and GoHealth Urgent Care partnership will provide greater access to high-quality medical care and provide a valuable alternative to traditional hospital emergency room visits. Legacy - GoHealth is where people can access community-based medical care with service that is connected to Legacy Health’s quality continuum of care. Legacy - GoHealth Urgent Care has made a commitment to the Cedar Mill community to serve our patients by taking an active role in community events and local give-back campaigns. The Good2Go campaign was inspired when we were driving by Sunset High School. We’ve always done sports physicals it’s just another day in the life, but we wanted to come up with a program to give needed dollars to schools and their athletic departments. Through the Good2Go campaign, when you register online and get a sports physical, we will donate $10 back to the athletic department at the school the student attends. If that program ran last year that would have been between one and two thousand dollars to Cedar Mill schools! Legacy GoHealth has five other convenient locations around the region, and all provide on-site X-ray, laboratory services, and care for a variety of illnesses and injuries. The centers also accept most commercial insurance, Medicare, Oregon Health Plan, workers’ compensation and offer affordable same-day rates for those without health insurance, to ensure that all people are able to receive the highest level of medical care.

One or more finished pieces will be created by the end of the day. Space is limited to a small group, allowing for individual attention. Art materials, refreshments, and healthy snacks are provided.
