Uncovering the true value of free I received an interesting letter from Liz P., who works for a nonprofit organization, the Spreckels Organ Society, in San Diego. She shared with me her pet peeve, that people in general do not appreciate things that are free. She wrote: "The Spreck- els Organ Society provides free con- certs every Sunday afternoon, and in the summer we produce an Interna- tional Organ Festival on Monday nights that is absolutely free, and com- pletely under-appreciated. I know your readers are different. But what is it about the psyche of the general public that makes us not value what is free?" I've been thinking a lot about Liz's letter. There is something psychologi- cal about the word "free" that stirs a variety of emotions in most people. We are suspicious. The concept of "free" has become a big marketing tool in our society. Everyone at some point has believed something would be free, only to get sucked into an expensive proposition -- whether it was for a gym membership, book club or another kind of service -- because of that annoying fine print. We are realistic. It is human nature to give little value to something that is totally free. In our hearts, we believe that we get what we pay for. No one would be drawn to an investment newsletter costing $1.99 a year. Surely it would be filled with useless information. But change that to $199 a year and all of a sudden we assume it contains really great informa- tion. We equate value with cost, and even if we cannot afford it, something that is expensive demands our respect. It's only a sample. Trial offers and sample bites may indeed be free, but they aren't the real deal. We expect samples to be free, but we don't go out of our way to be appreciative of them. We think of a free sample as we would a commercial or a print ad. It's bait designed to get us to go for the real thing. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate It's not really free. I can't help but think about the infamous "Free Puppy!" The initial acquisition might be free, but it will turn into a costly venture once you consider the trip to the vet, shots, food, leash, toys and grooming. A free stay at a resort might require transportation to get there and attendance at a sales presentation, fol- lowed by a hard-sell pitch to buy a membership. There are times when the cost of "free" is just way too expen- sive. As for the Spreckels Organ Soci- ety's free concerts and sum- mer festival, I am intrigued, if not surprised, that they do not draw huge crowds. I happen to love organ music. Perhaps not everyone does. Why do you think the free concerts are so poorly attend- ed? Is it one of the reasons above or perhaps something else? Where do you weigh in on getting something for free? Visit my blog, at http://www.MoneyRules- DebtStinks.com, and let us know! Perhaps we can help Liz and the Spreckels organi- zation boost their attendance this summer.

Trail section closed for improvements A portion of the Burney Falls Loop Trail and the Falls Over- look at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park will be closed from May through the fall of 2010. This closure will take place throughout the summer while necessary improvements are made to the switchbacks that lead to the falls. Access to views of the falls and the bottom of the falls is available along the newly improved section of the Falls Loop Trail — 3/4 mile moderate one-way hike on the west side of Burney Creek — and the Burney Creek Trail — 1.5 mile gentle one-way hike from Lake Britton to the base of Burney Falls. Maps are available at the park entrance station, the park visitor center, or online at www.parks.ca.gov. “Every 20 years, the Burney Falls Loop Trail requires mainte- nance repairs that can only be accomplished during the short summer season,” said Heidi Horvitz, Cascade Sector superin- tendent, California State Parks. “This trail is visited by hundreds of thousands of visitors a year, and continues to be one of the most popular destinations within California State Parks.” The park is open year around for visitors to enjoy camping, hiking, fishing and viewing the unique falls, once described by President Theodore Roosevelt to be the eighth wonder of the world. McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park is on High- way 89, 65 miles east of Red- ding. For more information, call park staff at at the visitors center at (530) 335-2777.
