And It Begins

Tri-CAP
April 6, 2016

There is something extraordinary about April – the big things of life seem to coalesce into a magical swirl. They manifest as the returning birds and waterfowl – who set busily about their task of singing into existence the greening of trees and the arrival of wild flowers. Winter has had its day and its cold furies and frozen ponds are obliged to give sway. It’s a time to start anew. Spring becomes a kind of redemption, a re-birth for both the natural world and for us. It comes with new hope and a promise. It’s a brand new story waiting to be written, waiting for you to write. The wisdom of the ages holds that man perishes without a dream, and what better time than April to make a new plan?
What would you see change for you and your family? Take a notebook and write down your dreams and desires. Gather your personal information and analyze your income and expenses. Write down a monthly budget and take the effort to track your spending for a few months, to see if you need to make adjustments. Check out the Tri-CAP monthly blog, it is full of helpful tips on reducing expenses and increasing income. Check out all of the programs for families at Tri-CAP, and see how we can help you reach your goal or your dream.
Energy tips for April: Now that we are embarking on warmer weather, remember to use fans before you turn on the air conditioning. Turn down your water heater to 115 – 120 degrees. Get in the habit of doing a walk-through in your home in the morning and evening, and turn off all unused appliances. Get a clean and tune on your furnace and air conditioner. (Using your furnace fan in the summer is a smart move to keep cool and save energy). Do these few things and save hundreds of dollars per year on your utility bills.
Remember that it’s your life, your family, and your dream. Start fresh and dream big. With a little planning and maybe a little help, you can make it happen! We at Tri-CAP are waiting for you to call.
