Message from the President

By Felix Peguero, Edward Jones Investments

Spring has sprung upon us, and tax season is here! If you have not done your

taxes as of yet, we have several tax professionals as Chamber members that would love it if you would “Think Chamber First” when it comes to doing your taxes. Please take some time to look at our Community Resource Guide or our on-line directory for

those tax professionals near you.

As you may already know, Sceni Foster is pursuing a new career. I would like to take a moment to thank Sceni for dedicating over five years to the Lacey Chamber of Commerce. Sceni has been a cornerstone to our organization, and we appreciate all her hard work and steadfastness throughout the years. Although we are sad to see her go, we are excited for her and her new endeavor with one of our partners and loyal members, Saint Martin’s University. Thanks again Sceni, you will be missed.

Still on our radar, we have some advertising opportunities available in our upcoming 2012-2013 Community Resource Guide. The guide gets great circulation in our community and into the hands of your customers. If you have not placed your ad, please do so as space is limited. We also have our annual golf tourney on the horizon. Make sure to sponsor a hole and sign up your four-person team as soon as possible, as this tourney fills up quickly. For more information, please call the Chamber staff.

Don’t forget, we also have our South Sound BBQ Festival coming on July 7. Last year we had over 5,000 people visit and partake all the wonderful food, experience the entertainment, and witness a hot wing eating competition. If you have not already, make sure to get your booth today and showcase your business to thousands!

As I mentioned before, tax season is here, and at our upcoming Forum we will be having several tax professionals apprising us of current changes in the tax code, and how they may apply to our businesses. There will be an opportunity to ask questions, and, who knows, you might even find a way to keep more of your hard-earned money.

Last but not least, make sure you make your contributions to your IRAs for 2011 before the April 17 deadline.

At your SERVICE,

Felix PegueroLacey Chamber President

The list of services and benefits offered through the Lacey Chamber of

Commerce continues to expand as we build on our pledge to be your Premier Business Resource. Here are a couple of services that will appeal to many of you. Your Chamber is proud to offer group insurance plans and notary service.

The Business Health Trust has been offered to our members for the past five years. The benefit provides highly competitive group rates through contracts with the largest and most respected insurance carriers in the state of Washington, including Regence BlueShield and Group Health. Along with medical, many other forms of health coverage are available for members including:

• Dental• Vision• BasicandSupplementalLife&AD&DInsurance• Long-TermDisability• Andothers

These benefits are available to member companies with as few as two employees while giving you the buying power of a large group. More information is available through the Chamber office.

Notary service is also available to members at the Chamber office. There are a few restrictions on the types of documents to be notarized, but most business documents are acceptable. The cost is $.50 per page for members at the executive investor level and $1.00 per page for all other members.

Our members love to read the Thrive, and you have the opportunity to submit articles for our publication at no cost. Thrive articles may be about any topic of interest to our membership and should be informational or educational in nature. It cannot be an advertisement for your business, but you are certainly allowed to mention your business toward the end of the article. For example, an article that states that Acme Widgets are the highest quality and best value on the market would not be appropriate. An article on the history, use, and development of the widget that mentions that Acme Widget has been in the industry for 18 years and provides contact information for the business is very welcome.

Another feature that has been added to the Thrive is the feature “Hmmm, Didn’t know that.” This is designed to spotlight significant accomplishments, trivial statistics, or fun facts about a Chamber member. If there is something about your business that makes it stand out from your competitors and you would like it spotlighted, let me know. You could see your fact shared in a future issue of the Thrive.

Lacey Community Supports Trooper ProcessionSubmitted by Carelene Joseph, Harborstone Credit Union

We, as a community, were saddened when we lost Washington State Trooper Tony Radulescu in late February. Being a good community neighbor, Joint

Base Lewis-McChord offered to host the staging area for his procession. One of the most important components of this early morning event was to have enough food to feed approximately 2,500 people. After sending a few calculated e-mails to key people in the community, you could literally feel and see the passion as business leaders pledged their support to help the installation be the perfect host to police officers, firefighters, and park rangers from different states, cities, and Canada. My phone rang off the hook with people volunteering their help!

One of my “calculated” e-mails was to Tony Salas, the Lacey Chamber director. He then sent an e-mail to Chamber

members and the response was amazing. With the help of the VFW Club, Harborstone Credit Union, WalMart, Costco, Panera Bread, Famous Dave’s, Puget Sound Energy, Panorama City, Hal and Anita Yarber from Exit Realty Boardwalk, Lucky Eagle Casino, Association of the United States Army, Air Force Association, Air Force Sergeants’ Association, and other businesses in different towns, we accumulated more than enough food to provide a continental-style breakfast. In fact, there was so much food left over, we were able to accommodate a Navy deployment the next day!

Each day, the caring attitudes and actions of our community totally amaze me. You show your generosity to our service members, police officers, firefighters, and to each other in times of need or simply to be good neighbors. For those of you who contributed to the procession in honor of Trooper Tony Radulescu, thank you so much for your kindness. You also helped your good neighbor, Joint Base Lewis-McChord pull off something very special.

Have Credits, But No Degree? If you have credits from past college work, Evergreen can help you improve your job

security and qualify for better paying positions by finishing your bachelor’s degree.

Lacey Chamber of Commerce 14th Annual Golf Classic

The clouds are beginning to part, the sun is beginning to shine, and there are glimmers of blue sky above—yes, the golf season is soon upon us in the northwest.

Company meetings will start taking place on the tee box rather than over a cup of tea, and clubhouses rather than coffee houses will fill with patrons for business lunches. The Lacey Chamber of Commerce is no stranger to the game of golf, and come June 1, we will be holding our 14th Annual Golf Classic at The Golf Club at Hawks Prairie Woodlands Course.

It all sounds so great, spending a day outdoors, getting some exercise, and socializing with friends. But, what if you are new to the game? As most of you have seen on television or heard through conversation, the game of golf is a serious one. The crowd must be quiet, the dress code is strictly enforced, and upsets and celebrations must be kept to a minimum. For most people who are novice golfers, the stringent rules and staunchness can create an uneasy feeling, which makes it hard to take on the sport. Well, the Lacey Chamber golf tournament is here to soothe those nerves and makes it easy to pick up a club and swing away. Did you take a bad shot? Not a problem! You’re on a team of four and you only need to take one player’s shot. Did everyone miss that birdie putt? Not a problem! You can buy mulligans and try again. Are you just shy of making that perfect chip shot? Not a problem! There is a one-time string to extend your shot. Did you make an unbelievable eagle putt? Celebrate away with cheers and high-fives all around! All players of all skill levels are welcome to join us for a day filled with laughter and excitement.

The theme of our tournament this year is “team spirit.” If you are playing in the tournament, we invite you to don attire of your favorite team, whether it is a local high school or an international soccer club, all are welcome. Each hole will be sponsored and decked out in team spirit as well. There will even be a prize for the most spirited hole!

The day will begin with a continental breakfast, and after a fun day of golf, games, and spirits, we will wrap up with lunch and an awards ceremony.

If you would like to play in the tournament or sponsor a hole seen by over 100 players, please contact the Chamber office (360) 491-4141 or go to our website www.laceychamber.com. The deadline to register is Friday, May 18, but if you register before April 15, you will receive an early registration discount!

Other door prizes included: O Bee travel mugs, coffee, window repair services, and printing services. Those in attendance snacked on menu items such as bread and artichoke dip, meatball sliders, and fantastic chocolate deserts prepared by Paprika Catering. O Bee Credit Union hosted a grand event filled with fun, laughter, and great networking. With the addition of the west side location, O Bee, a company founded in Olympia, opened its first location within the city limits and now has a total of four branches in our area.

5:01 Surge—O Bee Credit Union

On Wednesday, March 21, the newest addition to the O Bee Credit Union family opened its doors to the members of the Lacey Chamber of Commerce.

The branch was full of Chamber members, ambassadors, board members, guests, and many representatives from O Bee. The branch manager, Carrie-Ann Falk, shared with the crowd the new products and services that are offered to O Bee clientele and gave away the hot ticket door prizes of the night—one-of-a-kind Olympia beer inspired t-shirts.

The monthly Forum for the Lacey Chamber of Commerce is a great opportunity to visit with old friends, make new business connections, and hear insightful speakers on a variety of topics that have an effect on the business climate in and around Lacey. The Chamber president makes a great effort to provide relevant subjects and the staff works hard to uncover the speakers or as-semble the panels that lead to lively discussions during and after the Forum. The greatest challenge presented to the staff each month is about the quantity of lunches to order. If we order 100 lunches and 90 people eat lunch at the Forum, then we are still charged for the 100 lunches. If we order 100 and 120 purchase lunch, well we have a different challenge as Bon Appetite does not cook on-site. Online registration and pre-payment makes this a more educated estimate for the staff and saves you money at the same time. Best of all, it’s fast and easy!

Go to www.laceychamber.com and look for register below and to the right of the Chamber logo. On the next page, select the

event month. Enter your name, e-mail address, and phone number. Click on submit at the bottom of the page and you’re registered. To pre-pay and save $7.00 on your lunch, you need to add two easy steps—simply check the number of lunches you wish to purchase and add the names of the people who are joining you. After you click on submit, you’ll be taken to the payment screen to enter your credit card information and you’re registered and paid. Everyone now loves you because you did many things with this action you took. You saved time and money, both things we can never have enough of. You now get to go through the speedy line at the registration desk because all we need to do is check off your name and hand you a ticket for lunch. That leaves you more time to network and potentially get that big business deal you’ve been waiting on. You’ve made forecasting the lunch count more accurate for the staff, and that helps us control Forum costs, which allows us to continue deliv-ering great value for our members.

10 April 2012

When is the best time to get something done? There are a lot of different ways that people ask this question, but my initial reaction is: Whenever you have time to

do it.

At first, that might sound like a riddle, but I promise it isn’t; it’s just a reflection of the busy lives most of us lead. However, there are definitely techniques you can use to get more done within the limited time frames available to you.

A number of men and women, even some of the highest-performing professionals in every field, consistently undervalue and under-appreciate what can actually be accomplished in 10 or 15 minutes of uninterrupted work. You might not be able to finish a big presentation, but you could take the first steps, like making an outline of the first few slides, sending an e-mail information request, or writing an introduction.

Life is full of opportunities to get a few minutes of productivity in, rather than feeling bored or wasting time, if we only take advantage of them. The key is to find and recognize them, while breaking some of our worst habits at the same time.

Here are a handful of tips to help you get started:

1. Waste fewer minutes. Many of my clients are not truly aware of just how many minutes are getting away from them in a normal day. You add up all of the minutes spent waiting on phone calls, refocusing after a work disruption, or chatting with colleagues about nothing in particular, and it can add up to hours a week. That should be incentive enough to start taking advantage of that time.

2. Prioritize more. It is no use finishing relatively unimportant tasks if you have not finished your most important work yet. Learn to prioritize ruthlessly and work on your most important and time-critical projects first. It might be tempting to move on to something that’s easier, more fun, or more interesting, but doing so will ultimately only cost you more time and stress later.

3. Learn to focus. I often advise my clients and seminar attendees to schedule a block of time each morning—around 90 minutes is ideal—to work on their most important tasks and projects. Limit interruptions during that session. That way, they get to start off the day having

If Time is Money, How Can You Budget Your Time?Submitted by Denise Landers, Key Organization

accomplished something that is critical to their job, or having moved forward on something important. Usually, the momentum from that will keep them productive for the rest the day, or at the very least prevent them from getting too busy to finish their most critical “must do” tasks.

4. Maintain a schedule. Not many of us buy things without asking the price first, but many professionals think nothing of treating their schedule as open-ended. When budgeting your money, you apportion set amounts of money to specific accounts in order to be sure the money does not run out before expenses are met. Use the same process for budgeting your time by scheduling groups of like items and putting them on your calendar so that everything fits. Leave some open space for the unexpected.

5. Keep lower priority task cards with you. Often, spare moments pop up when we least expect them: You find yourself waiting for an extra 10 minutes at the doctor’s office, or for a meeting to start. That time doesn’t have to be wasted, at least not if you have some of your tasks and projects with you. These would be the easier items that do not require intense concentration. These short blocks are also a good time to catch up on your reading backlog.

The fact is that you have to make choices on how to spend your time. Become a master at prioritizing your day, learning to work on your most important projects first, and then finishing the rest whenever you can, without wasting valuable minutes. You will find yourself getting more done with less stress.

Like everyone else, you hope to remain physically and financially independent your entire life. And you may well achieve this goal. Nonetheless, the future is not ours to see,

so you’ll want to prepare yourself for as many contingencies as possible—one of which is the high cost of long-term care.

As you may know, long-term care primarily refers to nursing home expenses, but it also includes services provided in your own home. In either case, though, it could be expensive.

The national average rate for a private room in a nursing home was more than $87,000 per year in 2011, according to the 2011 MetLife Market Survey of Long-Term Care Costs. The same survey found that the average private-pay hourly rates for home health aides and homemaker companion services were $21 and $19, respectively.

With luck, of course, you won’t need to worry about these types of expenses. But consider this: People who reach age 65 have a 40% chance of entering a nursing home, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. And about 10% of those who enter a nursing home will stay there five or more years.

Clearly, if you take no steps to prepare yourself for the potentially devastating costs of an extended nursing home stay, you could be jeopardizing the assets you’ve worked so hard to accumulate. Even worse, if you run through your money, you might end up creating a financial and emotional burden for your grown children.

Unfortunately, many people assume that a federal or state government program will help them pay for their long-term care expenses. However, Medicare pays only a small portion of

Are You Prepared for Long-Term Care CostsSubmitted by Jeff Kopp, Edwards Jones Investments

nursing home costs, and to be eligible for Medicaid, you would likely have to divest yourself of most of your financial assets. Consequently, you’ll probably need to find another way to pay for long-term care.

Fortunately, there are investment or protection vehicles designed specifically to help you meet long-term care expenses. Your financial advisor can help you pick the option that’s most appropriate for your individual situation.

Having the ability to pay for long-term care is obviously important. But other issues may also enter the picture. For example, if you need to enter a nursing home, you may be suffering from a physical or mental disability that might prevent you from handling your own affairs. This impairment could prove disastrous to your finances — which is why you can’t afford to take that type of chance. Instead, consult with your legal advisor to determine if you can benefit from a durable power of attorney — a document that lets you delegate your financial decisions to a relative, close friend or anyone else you might choose.

None of us like to think about spending time in a nursing home or needing round-the-clock care in our own homes. However, life is unpredictable. But even if you can’t avoid the need for long-term care, you can take steps to help reduce the financial strain it can cause you and your family.
