Dave Says

Dear Dave, A friend recently mentioned something called impact investing to me. What exactly is this? How do impact investment funds perform, and what do you think about them?

Pieces of Me

It’s almost my favorite week of the year - fair week! It must be the die-hard 4-Her in me, but every year when the premium list and then the fair schedule comes out, I get a little giddy. I was a 10 year Hooker County 4-H member and tried a little bit of everything in my 4-H career.

Update from Senator Tom Brewer, 43rd District

7-16-2021 We are in “the interim” on the Legislative calendar. It is that time between legislative sessions. Most Senators have jobs, farms, ranches and businesses to attend to. It’s time to go home and reconnect with family too. It’s important to remember we have a parttime citizen legislature.

Happenings on the Hill

Greetings to all! We hope you have had a great week. We have kept busy with our usual activities. Monday morning I had some one-on-one exercises and walking with several different residents. That afternoon Ann Connell, Deb Minor, Nadene Andersen, Wanda Mackley and I played a game called Name 5.

Dear Dave, My wife and I are in our late 20s, and we’re on Baby Step 6. Recently, my mom reached out to me for help. She has a car lease that ends next month, and she asked to borrow $2,000 so she can pay it off.

We hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July. Thanks to some amazing co-workers, the residents enjoyed sitting outside and watching the community fireworks too. They also had sparklers and popsicles.

Dear Dave, My husband and I are both teachers, and we’re on Baby Step 7. We’re struggling with things where our wills are concerned.

Whew! We made it through June. Well, in about 37.5 hours from this writing. Has anyone else felt like they are barely keeping their head above water lately?

Update from Senator Tom Brewer - 43rd District

6-25-2021 The 4th of July is right around the corner. I think we should all take a moment and review what it is to be an American citizen. Around the turn of the last century, the “American Creed” was written.
