The club used the winnings to support the efforts of the Military Family Support Group of Tehama County. The donation of $500 will allow the Support Group to mail care packages to deployed military personnel and continue with its monument project. The monument is at 727 Oak St. and honors those who have served since Aug. 2, 1990. Pictured at the presentation are support group members Ruth Henley and Russ Baluk, YBF members Jennifer Meeder, John Meeder, Rose Shultz, Wayne Shultz and President Jerry Enos. Support group President Bob Chaney is accepting the check. Not pictured is Frontiersman Gerald Goulter who made a $50 personal donation to round the donation up to $500. TO THOSE WHO SERVE with thanks What would you do if you had to ac- tually use — or at least enjoy — ev- erything you own? Truth be told, most of us will never live long enough to ac - complish such an overwhelming task. Instead we pack it, stack it and pile it away — even pay rent to store it — and keep right on accumulating even more. More doesn't add to our joy the way we thought it would. More stuff only dilutes the qual - ity of our lives. Vilfredo Pareto, an Ital- ian economist, "discov- ered" the 80/20 principle in 1897 when he observed that 80 percent of the land in England (and every country he subsequently studied) was owned by 20 percent of the population. Pareto's theory of predict - able imbalance has since been widely proven and ap- plied to almost ev- ery aspect of mod- ern life, including the things we own. So let's think this through: If 80 percent of what we use comes from 20 percent of what we own, 80 percent of the space in our lives is oc - cupied by stuff we never use. It's difficult to fend off that nauseous feeling when you calculate clutter's ac - tual cost in hard-earned cash. One woman who finally had it with all her clutter loaded it up (it filled two pick-up trucks) and headed for the flea market. Ex - cited that she could possi- bly net $800 to $1,000 for one weekend of selling, she quickly changed her atti- tude as she realized her prices were about one- tenth of the price she paid. She figured that even if she made $1,000 on this effort, that means she'd spent at least $10,000 (probably more) purchasing it! That day, she vowed to never buy anything again un - less it was absolutely nec- essary. Ask yourself a series of questions to determine what stays and what goes: Does it work? So much of the clutter in our homes is made up of broken things we plan to fix some - day and clothes that don't fit any more but we hope they might someday. Do I really need it? The answer will be clear as you imagine the impact of this item disappearing from your life. Do I enjoy it? If this item brings beauty and joy to your life, it is not clut - ter. Sentimental belong- ings should be treated with great care and respect — not forgotten in the attic. Am I using it now? If it doesn't fall into the 20 per- cent of things you use on a regular basis, it is suspect. Once you've earmarked the stuff that needs to go, move it out. Sell it, give it away or throw it out. Of course, one of the best so - lutions for "good stuff" is to give it to someone who re- ally wants or needs it. De-cluttering will calm your spirit, clear your mind and increase your ability to enjoy your cur - rent situation, your family and relationships — your life! Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
