The Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Com- merce is proud to announce Red Bluff's return of B.E.A.M., the Business Expo and Mixer, 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20 at the Red Bluff Community Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. This trade show, in part- nership with Dignity Health and St. Elizabeth Commu- nity Hospital, is an excellent opportunity for all local businesses to showcase what they have to offer to the Red Bluff and Tehama County community. This event will feature more than 50 vendors from all cate- gories of business, organiza- tions and events. Registrations are now open to reserve your table. Visit www.redbluffcham- ber.com for more informa- tion and to register online. The cost is $50 per table. The event is open to the public with no admission. Appetizers will be included in the event with a no host bar. There will be door prizes and a 50/50 raffle. The vendors are encouraged to register early as it is first come first serve, and we turned away vendors last year due to room con- straints. The registrants will bring props, tell their story and will make it fun. The sky is the limit for this event. Set- up will be 3-4:30 p.m. B.E.A.M. is sponsored in part by Cornerstone Com- munity Bank, the Daily News and the Round-Up Saloon.

There are hun- dreds of things you can do to simplify your life. Here are seven to help you get started ... one a day for the next week. 1. Carry only the keys you use every day. Clean everything else off your key ring. If you don't recog- nize what a key is for, toss it. If you have keys you use occasionally, keep them on separate rings in a safe place. I carry only three keys: house, car and office. They're not bulky, simple to select and fit into a small pocket in my purse. Not only has this small trick simplified my life, but my car's ignition is happier too. Heavy keys pull the ignition out of alignment, causing it to even- tually fail. 2. Get rid of all but one credit card. One statement, one bill. Hav- ing so many credit cards can really stress your life and it is not neces- sary. In fact, many cards are haz- ardous to your wealth. Start today with the goal to strategically get rid of all but one on which you carry $0 balance. 3. Downsize your purse or brief- case. Carry only the minimum essentials. If you're anything like me, no matter what size of bag you carry, it is completely filled and then some. Ditch the bag that's the size of Nebraska in favor of some- thing small and compact. Now carry only the items you really need. 4. Cut back your jewelry to a couple of simple but ele- gant items. It takes a lot of ener- gy to manage dozens of pairs of ear- rings, necklaces and bracelets. About 15 years ago, I decided I would own and wear only one pair of classic earrings. It was a bold move, but one I have never regret- ted. You cannot imagine how this has simplified my life. 5. Buy only white linens. Now everything matches, and that saves time and hassle. Fine hotels everywhere fea- ture all-white linens. You should, too. When everything is white, you don't worry about fading, about matching up sets or if the linens match the room's decor. Every top sheet goes with every fitted sheet, so you don't have laundry-time hassles. Every- thing launders the same. White linens are classic, and they're cheaper too. 6. Keep a tasteful trash recepta- cle where you open mail. Handle the mail only once. Don't carry all the junk mail to the table to become more household clutter. Put a waste can right where you open the mail, and dump the junk the moment you identify it as such. 7. Change your attitude about voicemail. I cannot believe how my life has been simplified since I no longer feel obligated to return voicemails. If they want me badly enough, they'll call back. In the meantime, I use the delete feature with reckless abandon. Delete, delete, delete. Time. We're given just 24 hours each day. So far, no one's figured out how to increase that number. But if you begin to simpli- fy your life, you'll swear you've suddenly found more hours in your day.

Combined with the rock and roll dance held earlier in the month and sales of tamales made by Frank's sisters, family and friends have reached their goal, said Frank's brother Cuco Oropeza. "We'd really like to thank the community for their support," Cuco said. "We are working to get Frank to Mexico for treat- ment. He might go in a couple of weeks." The latest fundraiser, held at the Tehama Dis- trict Fairground, had 800- 850 people in attendance with lines out the door for tickets and food. "Francisco's food was a sell out," Cuco said. "We'd really like to thank our sponsors and commit- tee members who helped make this happen." Close to $12,000 in prizes were donated by businesses and members of the community for the raffle and silent auction. More fundraisers are being planned, including a bowling event to be held at Lariat Bowl. For more information, call 528-8000.
