Foreign Exchange Students (Central Texas)

2009-12-11T14:46:29-06:00

If you have ever thought about hosting an exchange student in your home for one or two school semesters I would love to talk with you. We have students from all over the world who need placement. They attend the high school you are zoned into and become a wonderful addition to your family!

Our family currently is hosting a 16 year old girl from Germany and she is amazing! Our other 3 younger children adore her! We will make sure to match up a child with your family's interests and activity levels.

If interested, please email or call and I'll be happy to chat with you and give you more information. You can also check out the website www.ciee.org for more information.

Thanks! Kristi

Extended Warranty at Fry's sucks (Everywhere)

2009-12-01T15:47:47-06:00

I found out today, that extended warranty at Fry's sucks.
I always knew about how extended warranties work and I'm ok with the concept.
The concept is where you buy the extended warranty, they will cover your product after the initial 1st year manufacturer's warranty.
This means that for the first year, you have to contact the manufacturer for any problems or defects with your product.
Only after the initial 1 year manufacturer's warranty, will the store take back and repair or replace your product....sounds great!!
I found out today that in order to transfer the warranty to another person you have to pay a $25 fee to do so.
The original extended warranty cost $17.99....how the hell does this make any sense.
You can't really even claim that your product is still under warranty if you're selling your stuff to someone else, because they will have to pay the "transfer" fee.
This whole retail industry is designed to screw the customers over and over again.
I always knew that the extended warranty was kind of a money maker for retail outlets and now I see how they do it.
I for one, will NEVER buy extended warranty EVER AGAIN.
What a bunch of crap.

The Legacy Project (Round Rock, Texas)

2009-11-29T17:08:29-06:00
The Legacy Project began in Round Rock, Texas October 2009. The idea: to build a church, community family center and senior condominiums on a five acres parcel in Round Rock. Today this project is being called the Sonoma Commons. Faith Family Ministry Director Paul Zarkas is spearheading the development. The Church - Faith Family Fellowship, a new non-denominational church that will focus emphasis on preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and believes in the power of God to transform lives. The Center - the Blanchard Family Center in honor of the family who have owned the property and desire to honor God and community with a place that can be used for the entire Round Rock community. It will be a multi-purpose center to host community events, performing arts, education and offer conference rooms for Round Rock community use. The senior condominiums - 24 adults condominiums for active senior living ages 60 and over. Included are some shops such as hair salon, cafe/giftshop, packaging/shipping center, service offices and common gathering area for the residence and guests. The condominiums are to be named the Sonoma Commons for which this development takes its name from.

For additional information on the Sonoma Commons of Round Rock, Texas please contact Paul Zarkas @ 512-879-3885 or email: paulzarkas@yahoo.com. Please mail in inquiries to: Century Charities 2103 Hilton Head, Round Rock, Texas 78664

About Texas Independence Fest
The Texas Independence Fest was organized to bring friends, family, and most importantly, Texans together to celebrate and take pride in the great state of Texas.

Texas is a melting pot of many different cultures and genres, and we like to exemplify that by making the festival highly diverse. Folks of all ages and from all walks of life attend, and there is a common bond that exists amongst everyone: Texan pride.

We invite everyone to bring their camping gear in order to enjoy and celebrate their Texan pride, and without having to worry about how they're going to get home after the festivities.

The different styles of music, vendors, and activities at the festival are as diverse as the state's inhabitants, and there will definitely be something for everyone.

Tickets are $10 each until January 1, 2010 when they go up to $15, and they will be $20 at the gate. To purchase advance tickets, please visit Your Texas Music by clicking on the following link:

AFTER READING ALL THAT ~ PLEASE COME TO THIS MONTHS FUNDRAISER THIS SUNDAY 11.22.09@:

Host a Foreign Exchange Student (Central Texas)

2009-11-12T08:29:45-06:00
If you have ever thought about hosting an exchange student in your home for one or two school semesters I would love to talk with you. We have students from all over the world who need placement. We have a few available for just one semester starting this January and many more coming over in August. They attend the high school you are zoned into and become a wonderful addition to your family!

Our family currently is hosting a 16 year old girl from Germany and she is amazing! Our other 3 younger children adore her! We will make sure to match up a child with your family's interests and activity levels.

If interested, please email back with your contact information and the best times to call and I'll be happy to contact you with more information.

Thanks! Kristi
