Rich Dad Education Donates CASHFLOW 101 Board Games to Transform the Financial Education of Phoenix High School Students

Theo nguồn tin trên trang của prweb.com

Cape Coral, FL (PRWEB) June 27, 2014

Rich Dad® Education, a leader in financial training, announced today that it recently donated 15 CASHFLOW® 101 board games to Career Success High School located in Phoenix, Arizona. The games will be used to teach students valuable lessons about personal finance and investing.

Rich Dad Education was contacted by Ms. Janice McKenna, a math teacher and student council advisor at Career Success High School, with a request for CASHFLOW 101 games to be used as a resource to teach financial principles to her students.

“I think that Rich Dad Education would be a great asset to all of our students to help them make better decisions in their lives,” said Ms. McKenna, math teacher and student council advisor. “Many of our students have come from an entitled way of thinking, and if I can educate them to a better future, then this will have a profound impact on society's future.”

CASHFLOW 101 is a board game created by bestselling authors, Robert and Kim Kiyosaki, to simulate real life financial situations and help people develop financial literacy in a fun, interactive way. The game has been described as “Monopoly on steroids,” and has proven to be an entertaining way for people to discover the principles of financial success.

“The basic principles of financial education and literacy need to be taught in schools now more than ever,” stated Anthony Humpage, CEO at Rich Dad Education. “At last count, only 17 states in the U.S. required students to take personal finance courses. Is it any wonder so many students leave school ill-prepared to deal with the complex financial realities facing them in today’s recovering economy? We are inspired by Ms. McKenna’s commitment to her students and applaud her efforts to instill in them the principles of financial education. It is our pleasure to support her efforts with this donation.”

Ms. McKenna plans to use the CASHFLOW 101 games in math class, and also looks to start an after-school CASHFLOW class for students. By playing the game, students will be able to:

  •     Practice real-world investing principles using play money
  •     Learn the difference between an asset and a liability
  •     Discover the power of understanding a personal financial statement

In short, they will have the opportunity to learn key financial principles essential to making better money decisions in life.

Phoenx Launches New Solid Waste Programs

June 25, 2014, 12:00 AM ​The Public Works Department is launching two new solid waste programs in July that will encourage Phoenix residents to divert trash from the landfill. Sign-ups for the programs begin Monday, July 7, by calling the customer service line at 602-262-7251 or filling out the online form at phoenix.gov/publicworks. The first program is called Save As You Reduce and Recycle (SAY R&R). This program offers residents the option to downsize their current large trash container to a medium trash container for a monthly savings of $3 on their solid waste services bill. This program is available to residents who currently have curbside service only and are enrolled in the city’s recycling program. The second is the Green Organics Curbside Collection program, which provides residents a new, large, tan container for their yard waste. This program is ideal for residents who own acre-size properties that require weekly maintenance. The monthly fee for this program is $5/per tan container and will be implemented in a phased approached. If interested, residents are asked to visit phoenix.gov/publicworks or call 602-262-7251 to find out if their neighborhood is included in the phase 1 implementation. The implementation of these new programs are a result of the city’s waste diversion initiative, Reimagine Phoenix, the goal of which is to divert 40 percent of Phoenix’s trash from the landfill by the year 2020. “If we want to reach our goal of diverting 40 percent of trash, every Phoenix resident will have to play a part,” said Mayor Greg Stanton. “These new, creative options for solid waste show that our city is committed to finding solutions to be more sustainable.” “Phoenix has long been a national leader in encouraging residents to reduce what we throw away, while generating revenue at the same time,” said Councilwoman Thelda Williams, chairwoman of the City Council Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee. “It started with recycling more than 20 years ago, and now we are taking it to the next level with these two creative, innovative new programs. I look forward to seeing great results!” The Green Organics Curbside Collection will allow residents to place their branches, grass clippings, shrubs and untreated wood loosely in their new, tan container. These materials are well suited for gardening purposes and will be mulched at city facilities. Palm trees fronds, oleanders, creosote, pyracantha, treated wood, as well as trash, food waste, pet waste and recyclables should not be placed in the tan containers because they contain poisonous sap, can damage the mulching equipment or are not ideal for mulching at all. The Reimagine Phoenix initiative aims to inspire Phoenix residents to view trash as resources. An integral part of the initiative is to increase community outreach and expand the educational curriculum. Neighborhoods and other organizations interested in a presentation about the programs and the Reimagine Phoenix initiative should email their request to reimaginephoenix@phoenix.gov. For more information about the Green Organics Curbside Collection and the SAY R&R programs, visit phoenix.gov/publicworks or call 602-262-7251. Community presentations on these solid waste programs also are available by emailing reimaginephoenix@phoenix.gov. Contact: Yvette Roeder Phone Number: 602-568-6501

Maternity Swimwear Collection Introduced by Hapari

Theo nguồn tin trên trang của prweb.com

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) June 23, 2014

Hapari International has announced a collection of maternity swimwear geared toward expecting mothers just in time for summer 2014.

Hapari’s maternity collection includes tankini styles selected for their length, coverage and support. The select styles that make up the collection are longer than industry standard to ensure an expecting mother’s growing belly stays covered during the length of her pregnancy, and Hapari’s top-of-the-line, high-tech fabric ensures a comfortable, snug fit.

“We decided to introduce a maternity collection after we heard from so many women that they have a difficult time finding maternity swimwear that is stylish and also fits well,” said Tasha Curry, who leads Hapari’s design team. “Of course, we’ve always maintained that women should never have to sacrifice style for a great fit. The same is true for pregnant women.”

The tankini styles comprising the new maternity collection include the V-Neck, Sport, Seaside, Twist and S.O.S. Underwire. Each style has its own unique features and is available in a variety of prints and solids.

“Women love the Seaside Tankini style for its adjustable length. They love the Sport Tankini style for its athletic fit and great coverage, and they love the S.O.S. style for its underwire support,” said Curry. “We love that we can offer so many styles for expecting moms to be able to choose what works best for their body.”

Tankinis from Hapari’s maternity collection are priced at $59 and are available in regular and plus sizes. All bottoms sold separately.

Isaac Jewelers Sets The Standards For Community Outreach Programs

Theo nguồn tin trên trang của prweb.com

Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) June 22, 2014

Frank Isaac, owner of Isaac Jewelers, is actively searching for charitable organizations, that both he and Isaac Jewelers could potentially bring high level awareness by way of new community outreach programs into 2015.

Frank, has always devoted himself to high customer service standards and quality products, directly overlapping with his dedication to charitable organizations. His company prides itself on each personal relationship and experience and believes that this business mindset can always be applied to daily life and giving back. Isaac Jewelers does not carry conflict diamonds and describes why doing so is important through online education. Isaac’s charity efforts not only expand to outside community give-back programs, such as Mother’s Grace Foundation, Crisis Nursery, and Pope John XXIII Catholic School, but through his own influential campaigns helping local businesses and individuals.

While some choose charities at random, Frank chooses these charities due to his personal connection to them. Because Isaac knows the founders of these community outreach organizations, he is confident that 100 percent of the proceeds go directly to the cause. Additionally, each volunteer is employed without monetary compensation; this plays a major factor in Frank’s decision to continuously donate to these foundations. Furthermore, Frank’s children attend Pope John XXIII Catholic School, making this a perfect place to donate. Giving back to this school directly impacts his own family along with providing a better education for the community.

Mother’s Grace Foundation creates an empowering, loving, and understanding support system for mother’s and children that have undergone or are currently experiencing extreme hardships. They provide financial support, comfort and healing through counsel and guidance, children’s education, and inspiration to help others in similar situations.

Crisis Nursery is another charity Frank Isaac prides himself on being apart of. It is the Phoenix area’s longest standing children’s shelter. They offer a refuge for children and families that have experienced mistreatment and homelessness. They have helped over 20,000 people since opening in 1977.

Pope John XXIII Catholic School incorporates Christian teachings into a structural curriculum. They encourage parental guidance along with personal, independent growth. Through their own charitable services, they help provide a safe environment inside and outside the school walls.

Isaac aids local entrepreneurs in efforts to further their career. He created a competition for models in the area to represent his company as the new “face” for Isaac Jewelers.

These foundations are sustainable through donations, community support, and outreach. Without dedication from companies such as Frank’s, these organizations could not provide the necessary functions for their respective communities. Frank Isaac and Isaac Jewelers love giving back to both their customers and the community. They deliver great customer service and quality diamonds. What Frank instills in his own company translates directly into his charitable achievements.

About Frank Isaac and Isaac Jewelers:
Frank has hand selected a diverse group of knowledgeable and capable staff representing a variety of different cultures and traditions. With this focus, Isaac Jewelers is able to cater to each and every customer that walks through the door and provide him or her with an experience that they will never forget. Along with our exceptional service, Frank and his staff pride themselves on keeping up with all the latest products and knowledge in the industry. Together, with this combination, Isaac's is able to make each and every experience one that is extraordinary and memorable.
