Last weekend I took my mentee from Youth Guidance to the Kiwani's', 'Take A Kid Fishing' event! I have to tell you that we had a ball! I hope many of you jumped at the opportunity and were there with us under the Barber Bridge. More than 250 children gathered for a fun, tech free day. This was one of those events that is a 'no frills,' focus on what really matters, and leaves you feeling great kind of events. Though my little partner and I did not catch anything, I was impressed by the number of beaming, smiling faces that were constantly running by us with a squiggling fish dangling from a pole, heading towards the officials to be measured. These youngsters were quite the anglers reeling in more than 1,000 fish. I saw a hammerhead shark, stingray, puffer fish and many, many other impressive, gasping fish being reeled in by some youngsters that were barely out of diapers. Yes, it was quite a humbling experience and I took the opportunity to explain to my 'mentee' that some days you've got it and other days you just have to revel in the accomplishments of others and enjoy their display of pure and unrestrained excitement! Thank you Kiwanis for a day that will long be remembered, for the fishing pole and bait, for the cookout that allowed us to enjoy the All-American grilled hot dog and hamburger. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. With Father's Day around the corner and all the talk about fishing....I feel I must pay homage to my late father who was quite the angler; Jerome N. Matthews. He caught many a world record in his lifetime, a couple of which still stand today. hmmm... guess I didn't get that gene! But, I don't give up easy and my mentee and I will be back next year! ... 'Til then we congratulate Gustavo Sandoval who caught the biggest fish and is pictured here receiving a new rod & reel and plaque from Kiwanian, Al Sammartino. Thanks to all who made this event possible! What an incredible community we live in!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
This cartoon says it all! You may look more like Clark Kent, but in the eyes of your child, you're a hero. Happy Father's Day to all of you super Dad's out there! Unfortunately, there are a lot of households that are without a father. If you're not a father yourself, (or even if you are) consider mentoring a child who may not have a father figure in his or her life. It only takes a few hours a week. Contact YOUTH GUIDANCE and they will find the right match for you.

BILL PENNEY RAISED MORE THAN $8,500 FOR RED CROSS
To celebrate his 55th birthday, Bill Penney - President and CEO of Marine Bank - rollerbladed 55 miles, asking the community to support his trek with donations to the American Red Cross North Treasure Coast Chapter. Bill began his skate at South Beach in Vero Beach, pushing off around 5 a.m. Saturday, June 4 and was joined by five of his friends on bicycles. The American Red Cross had an Emergency Response Vehicle on hand throughout the ride, providing water and food to keep up the groups' energy. Bill completed his skate in 6 hours 34 minutes, raising more than $8,500 for the American Red Cross. |

4 PEOPLE WON $100
At the Vero Beach Christian Business Association Meeting
Debbie Macomber (second from left) stands with three of the $100/book winners:
Kate Hoffman, Hazel Goff and Don Meeks. Not Pictured: Cynthia Slattum
Best-selling author Debbie Macomber not only blessed the group at their May luncheon with her encouraging words (she's such a great story teller!), she also blessed them with numerous books that she brought to give away during the monthly drawing. But even more than that, she blessed the group with FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. Yes, tucked away in four of the books were one hundred dollar bills. The only catch was that the "lucky" recipient has to find someone to bless with that $100. There are surely some uplifting stories ahead that we can't wait to bring to you. Stay tuned!

HEALTH TIP
PLANNING A FATHER'S DAY OUTING?
RULE FOR PICNICS!
If you're picnicking outside during these lazy summer days, this is a good rule to remember: Don't let cooked food sit out longer than two hours. Bacteria double every 20 minutes after that. If the temperature rises above 90 degrees, toss the leftovers after just one hour.

A PRODUCT WE LIKE
If you haven't tried CATTLEMEN'S TANGY GOLD BARBECUE SAUCE, we think you're going to love it! A nice change from the heavier tomato based sauce, it has a slightly sweet vinegar/mustard flavor. Great for grilling or on a pork sandwich. You'll find it on your grocer's shelves...and just in time for a Father's Day BBQ! |
UNDERSTANDING LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE
Long-term care insurance (LTC or LTCI) helps provide for the cost of long-term care beyond a predetermined period and it covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Individuals who require long-term care may not be sick in the traditional sense, but instead, are unable to perform the basic activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing or eating. About 60% of individuals over age 65 will require at least some type of long-term care services during their lifetime, but 40% of those receiving long-term care today are between 18 and 64. Once a change in health occurs, a person may not be eligible for long-term care insurance, so it's wise to get it before you need it.
LTC insurance generally covers home care, assisted living, adult daycare, respite care, hospice care, nursing home and Alzheimer's facilities. If home care coverage is purchased, long-term care insurance can pay for home care, often from the first day it is needed. It will pay for a visiting or live-in caregiver, companion, housekeeper, therapist or private duty nurse up to 7 days a week, 24 hours a day (up to the policy benefit maximum).
If CHAMPION can help you with home care matters,

SAVINGS TIP OF THE WEEK!
In 1945, twenty-four years after she was created, Fortune magazine named Betty Crocker the second best known woman in the entire United States - right behind first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. She even had her own radio show. (Not bad for someone who never really existed!) Betty was, and still is, the figment of a clever advertising campaign's imagination. Her appearance has changed over the years to keep up with the times, but unlike the rest of us, she never got older! The current image, created in 1996. is a multi-racial and multi-ethnic composite of 75 women over the age of 18. Betty Crocker is a division of General Mills, and fortunately, the coupons on their website are very 'real'. In addition to baking products, General Mills products include Yoplait, Prevacid, Garnier hair products, Green Giant, and Rogaine, as well as many others. The coupons change monthly and some are as much as $5.00 off, but to print them, you do need to register on the website. CLICK HERE. |

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
8 TERIYAKI CHICKEN KABOBS
Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 cup Teriyaki sauce for marinade, divided
2 zucchini, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
16 cherry tomatoes
1 red and/or 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can (8 ounces) pineapple slices, drained and cut into 1-inch pieces
Directions
1. Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add 1/2 cup of the marinade; turn to coat well. Reserve remaining marinade for brushing.
2. Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor. Remove chicken from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Alternately thread chicken, vegetables and pineapple onto 8 skewers.
3. Grill kabobs over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, turning occasionally and brushing with reserved marinade.
