How to vacation without going broke Dear Mary: We have a large fam- ily, and we plan to take a road trip this summer because it's significantly cheaper than flying. We often are tempted to spend a lot on eating out when we take road trips, as we cannot bring the kitchen with us. What suggestions do you have for families going on short or extended road trips to keep the food budget down? -- Robert S., Califor- nia Dear Robert: You can't bring the kitchen, but a nice big cooler will be a must. First, set a budget for how much you will spend on food per day. Then stick to it. Visit gro- ceries along the way to fill the cool- er with snacks, beverages and lunch for the day. It won't be as cheap as eating at home, but it will be cheap- er than eating all of your meals out. Then book your overnight stays in hotels, such as Homewood Suites, where hot breakfast is included in the price of the room every day of the week and a hot din- ner is served Monday through Thursday. Other hotels, such as Country Inns & Suites, include kitchenettes, enabling you to pre- pare meals in your room. This strat- egy will require planning and a lit- tle work. But if everyone pitches in to prepare and eat breakfast and lunch on the cheap, you'll be able to eat out for one meal a day while sticking to your budget. Dear Mary: My husband made really good money. Then BAM! He got sick last fall. Since then, he's brought in only $500. We are almost four months late with our mortgage. We have been in contact with our lender, and I need to write a hardship letter to explain our situ- ation. Do you have any suggestions on how to write a successful letter? -- Cathy K., Montana Dear Cathy: Stick carefully to the facts. Keep your letter to one Mary Hunt page. Be to the point and nonemo- tional. Make sure you have job titles correct and names spelled cor- rectly. Once you've written the let- ter once, rewrite it, removing all unnecessary words. Make sure your grammar and spelling are impecca- ble. Once you have it perfect, print it, sign it and send it off. Good luck. Dear Mary: Thank you for your Everyday Cheapskate recent column "8 Words That Changed My Life." I'm a prime example of what not to do with money. A while back, I thought about the sorry state of our finances and tried to ana- lyze what we did wrong. I came up with a question: What's the difference between ambition and greed? I wanted the best schools for my kids, the bigger house, the better neighborhood, etc. It's a no-win game because you never are satisfied. I found that I wasn't ambitious; I was greedy. That ranks as one of the deadly sins! Your eight words, espe- cially the last four, say it all: "Buy what you need; want what you have." You cleared my mind and made my day. -- June R., e-mail Dear June: Thanks for writing. I am humbled and also proud of you for getting it. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Hospital announces community grants St. Elizabeth Commu- nity Hospital will offer the annual CHW Commu- nity Grant funding oppor- tunity for all eligible non profit 501(c) 3 organiza- tions. Every Catholic Health- care West hospital has conducted a community health assessment and has identified strategic priori- ties based on this assess- ment investment. St. Elizabeth invests in this survey every three years; the most recent sur- vey was published in 2007 and a new survey is in the development phase. Heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, access to healthcare and insurance and substance abuse are the top health behaviors and concerns based on the 2007 survey results. An objective of the grant program is to award grants to nonprofit organi- zations whose proposals respond to the priorities identified in the health Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol.

The funds are intended to be used to provide ser- vices to the underserved populations — economi- cally poor, women and children, mentally or physically disabled or other disenfranchised populations. “We are proud to offer $38,279 to eligible non- profit agencies offering much needed services to the disenfranchised of our community,” said Sr. Pat Manoli, senior director of Mission Integration. “We have developed a selec- tion committee of dedi- cated community mem- bers to assist us in review- ing and selecting the grant recipients. Their time and dedicated focus to this process is an important part of our effort to sup- port the needs of our com- munity.” The grant process includes a first step of United States. Bail was not set. Death An infant, roughly a week old, reportedly passed away early Friday morning on Bray Avenue. The cause of death is uncertain pending the results of an autopsy.

The moth- er was reportedly OK submitting a letter of intent due by the end of the business day Monday, Aug. 23. Upon review by the selection committee, accepted letters of intent will be invited to submit a proposal for funding due Oct. 8.

Odd A box spring and mat- tress were reportedly found Tuesday afternoon on a Piedmont Road prop- erty. Collision • A two-vehicle colli- sion took place at 10:05 a.m. Tuesday on Baker Road, north of Walnut cated to grant writing skills and capabilities. “Over a period of time of conducting the com- munity grant allocation, the selection committee has identified several common themes of grant writing strengths and weaknesses in our com- munity,” Manoli said. “These trends compelled us to invest in offering this free workshop in an effort to strengthen our applicants’ ability and confidence when submit- ting a request for fund- ing.” Detailed information about this grant opportu- nity can be found at www.chwhealth.org/com- munitygrants.
