I didn't want it to end, it was so great. Our first tipster has the right idea, and it doesn't require having another baby! PARTY OF 13 FOR DINNER. Two friends and I started a dinner club. Each of us cooks for all three families once a week and delivers meals that are hot and ready to eat. We include a main dish, starch, veg- gie, bread and salad, and an occa- sional dessert. We save money because we're able to buy in bulk, and there are always leftovers to take for lunch, too. It's healthier because we're no longer eating fast food or junk. And it's fun! I'm getting to try out lots of fun recipes, and we aren't eating the same old thing week after week. Before you think that it just would- n't fit into your crazy schedule, between our three families with seven children, our lives are busy. It just takes one afternoon a week, and you have healthy meals for at least five days. -- Kellye, Texas HALF A DRYER SHEET. I cut my fabric softener sheets in half. It still cuts the static just like a full sheet, but for half the price! -- Von- nie, email SPRUCE UP THE LAWN CHAIRS. To clean the rubber straps on some outdoor furniture, spray on shaving cream. Let it stand for a bit and then wash off. It cleans the mold left on over the winter. My furniture looks like new. -- Bobbie, Illinois DOUBLE THE FROSTING. When you buy a container of cake frosting, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size and frost more cakes or cupcakes with the same amount. A nutritional benefit to this is that you'll also eat less sugar and fewer calories per serving. -- Sue, North Carolina HAMBURGER HELPER. A NO MORE RUST RINGS. To eliminate those annoying rust rings that the shaving cream can leaves on the edge of the tub, I purchased a foam "can cozy" and inserted the shaving cream can into it. It is a perfect fit, and the can stands upright on the tub ledge without actually touching the tub surface. Now I don't need to pur- chase any expensive rust removers to keep the tub area clean! -- Kathleen, New York SPEND AND SAVE. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate family friend taught me to make hamburgers or cheeseburgers and add crushed crackers to the beef before making it into patties. This made the meat go twice as far and also stopped the patties from shrinking while they cooked. I think it makes the burgers moister, too. -- Tammy, email Whenever I spend money on a "want" (as opposed to a need), I deposit 10 per- cent of the total (like a per- sonal surcharge) into my savings account immedi- ately following the pur- chase. -- Jane, Connecticut Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Include your first and last name and state.

Backbreaking work leads to summit of volcano California Conservation Corps volunteers are doing the backbreaking work of constructing 20 switch- backs, 40 rock staircases, one climbing turn and 900 linear feet of retaining walls at Lassen Volcanic National Park this summer, as they join park trail crews in the second year of a five-year project to reconstruct and restore the 2.5-mile trail to the summit of Lassen Peak. With a $199,479 grant from the Federal Highway Administration’‚s Scenic Byways Program and addi- tional support from the National Park Service and Lassen Park Foundation, the park’s Reach The Peak project is a multi-year effort to rehabilitate one of the most popular trails in the national park system. Lassen Peak, one of the world‚s largest plug dome volcanoes at 10,457 feet in elevation, is a featured ele- ment of the Lassen Vol- canic Scenic Byway, an All-American Road. “Climbing to the top of an active volcano is an exciting adventure that you can only do at a few loca- tions on Earth,” said Park Superintendent Darlene M. Koontz. “Lassen Volcanic National Park is one of them. The project will widen the trail, reconstruct retaining walls, install drainage structures, create turnouts and restore areas previously damaged by vis- itor foot traffic.” “Of all the many pro- jects we‚ve undertaken, restoring the Lassen Peak Trail has perhaps the great- est direct benefit to park visitors, in that so many park visitors have hiked the trail.” said Jane Ziad, exec- utive director of the Lassen Park Foundation. “Because it is so popular, it truly needed this attention. Over the years, hikers and the weather wore down the trail, lessening the experi- ence. This restoration will provide a number of improvements, including rest stations, viewpoints and a better experience once on top of the volcano.” While being rehabilitat- ed this summer, the Lassen Peak Trail will be closed beyond the first 1.3 miles of the trail. Access to the upper portion of the trail and summit will only be available July 1-4, Aug. 13 -14 and September 1-5. Opportunities to con- tribute to the effort to restore the Lassen Peak Trail are open to anyone at www.lassenparkfounda- tion.org, by contacting the Lassen Park Foundation at PO Box 3155 Chico 95927 and by calling 530-898- 9309.
