A Brief Word From The Editor
With over 10 years in the industry, producing local community guides, relocation guides, maps, NATIONAL raceway tracks, high school sports posters, sports event memorable, and college sports schedules we know ADVERTISING!
With a long (emphasis on long) time in this industry, we searched for a more effective, and up to date way to get our readers our informational magazine. With all of the IPads, Kindles, Androids, and cellphones we searched high and low for a way to reach newmovers. The first idea was “we could produce books with information about a county and set up distribution points so new movers could find out the attractions, events, and also aware new-comers of local businesses, but wait how would that help customers that,
haven’t decided yet, or people that don’t pick up magazines like this, and what if we produce too many we would just be hurting the environment, so we came up for away to solve all of those problems. On-line Guides! No extra waste, no extra liter!, also in this day and age how much is actually done in hard copy anymore, newspapers are digital, and people like the idea of being able to take media like this with them so they can take it anywhere and read it at their leisure, and it’s kinda hard to lose this copy, because all of our publications are readable by all of the leading digital readers, tablets, and cell phones, if you have internet access then you have our magazine! We also do print hard copies for people that request them.

ith budgets tightening the first area administrators often cut is their after-school programs and many booster clubs today can only assure their existence by self-funding. Most booster clubs, like other school groups, have come to rely on fundraising to help pay for their equipment and uniforms as well as their trips to out-of-state tournaments and competitions, often not paid for by membership fees. Booster clubs are willing
by: Allen Williams to try just about anything to raise money. But selling popular consumer items is one of the most tried-and-true methods available today. In fact, product fundraising programs help non-profit groups, such as booster clubs, raise nearly $1.7 billion each year, according to statistics. It is often the case that it is up to the booster club president to motivate the parents, coaches, teachers, students and other supporters so rally behind your president. Make sure everyone is moving in the right di-

Aries: Are you ready to have
your world of romance, creativity and relationships totally rocked, Aries? This year focuses so heavily on all themes related to your love life and integrating your opposite polarity (Libra). Get ready for a serious indoctrination on beauty, peace and justice. 2014 promises to deliver endless opportunities to perfect your skills in being the best lover and partner you can possibly be. This doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your authentic, individual Fire-warrior spirit, but it does mean you’re about to learn the art of compromise in a colossal way. Starting in March, the Nodes of Fate will move into your stars right before your birthday, preparing you for a new cycle focused on the ever-elusive balance between ‘self’ and ‘other’. You may feel you are still shedding old aspects of your personality that no longer serve you or your partnerships -- but the payoff is so worth it. You’re a true romantic at heart, ever in search of a truly beautiful and harmonious partnership, and this year just might be the year you get to truly live and experience this like never before. Speaking of love, another major bonus arrives just in time for summer when lucky Jupiter moves into your sector of romance and pleasure for a year.
Taurus: 2014 is the year
of expansion, fulfilling work and stellar wellbeing, Taurus! If you’ve fallen prey to the typical Taurus
legacy of neglecting your own needs and taking care of everyone else’s problems, this is the year to take your power and your life force back so that you can invest in a brand-new life. No, this does not make you selfish or uncaring, this makes you true yourself and with a greater capacity to give to your loved ones because you will no longer be running on empty
-- which is probably how you’ve felt over the past few years. You’ve certainly learned the art of releasing control in 2013. The good news is that the fog is finally about to lift as the South Node finally moves out of your stars this March. You’ve been letting go of so many things -- from material possessions to antiquated concepts around values and security. In fact, you’ve relinquished so much that you may barely recognize your life at this point, Taurus. You’ve certainly learned to simplify your world in 2013, and now you’re getting ready to go rebuild towards greater beauty and harmony. The focus of 2014 is all about communication, work and daily ritual. If you’ve
been promising yourself for eons that you’ll get your daily routine into better balance as in: more exercise, better sleep and less work, this is the year to make that happen.
Gemini: All of your hard
work is totally paying off in 2014, Gemini! The rewards started trickling in throughout 2013, but the real windfall of success is still yet to come. This is the year of perseverance and pay-off. Plus, the super lucky money spree that began late last year continues in 2014. Take advantage of the first six months of the year to work the generous influence of Jupiter in your money zone. The bounty that started last July will continue all the way until summer, so stash some of this awesome surplus for potential rainy days down the road.
Cancer:
You’re still riding high as lucky Jupiter continues his generous tour through your stars in 2014. Maximize this amazing good fortune for the first six months of the year before Jupiter moves on to your neighboring sign of Leo in July. Don’t fear that all of your luck will run dry when Jupiter leaves Cancer. The good news is that starting in July you’ll have the benefit of the big planet working on your money house for a year. If you’ve been waiting for a windfall in your finances, watch how drastically your money situation improves starting this summer.
Your confidence has been on the rise since last year, and the increase in self-esteem is about to pay off in myriad ways, Cancer. Yes, you’ve officially come out of your shell and now you’re in high demand, baby!
Leo: Your star is about to rise
and shine in 2014, Leo. Are you ready for an amazing spell of luck? This summer, the planet of fame and fortune (Jupiter) moves into your stars, catapulting you to the rock star status you so desire and so deserve! Use the first half of the year to prepare on an inner level because the second half is going to explode beyond your wildest imagination. You’re dance card will be so beyond full, it’ll leave you very little time to keep up with yourself. Leo, you’re about to enter a cycle of goodness that only comes around once every 12 years, so prepare to party and live large like the royalty you are!
Virgo:
This is the year for vacation and retreat, Virgo! You’re known as the proverbial workaholic, but this year you’re about to totally transform your image. If ever there was a time to learn how to kick back and relax, it’s now. Although the first half of 2014 will continue with the crazy social frenzy that began in 2013, by summer you’ll be ready to enter a phase of serious seclusion. Too much socializing proves to be incredibly taxing on your nerves, Virgo. You’re more sensitive than most, and it’s hard for you not to feel the pressure of wanting to help, nurture and support all those who come to you for your brilliant guidance.
Libra: If you’ve been a
sad and solo Libra, fear not; relationships take ridiculously high precedence in 2014! You surely will not be alone. If you’re already hitched, expect a series of mindblowing lessons and non-stop insight in the realms of romance and long-term commitment. This is your year to uncover and break through any codependent patterns once and for all. If you’ve been struggling with commitment issues (what Libra, doesn’t?) you will have tremendous support from Saturn and the Nodes of Fate to keep you from your usual fence sitting. The big shift takes place in March when the North Node of Fate moves into your constellation triggering a series of very fated, life-altering events and destined relationships that will unfold over the next few years. All of your relationships (not just romantic) will be radically transformed, as will you. The themes of balance, justice, and beauty will be all consuming starting in March when the North Node moves into Libra. You’ll feel right in your element as others will also be learning all about the art of diplomacy and compromise with you for a change. Life is about to feel infinitely sweeter in 2014.
Scorpio:
The intensity continues, Scorpio! You’ve been through quite a ride in 2013 and you’re very clear that change is the only constant. With all of the trials and tribulations endured, you’re certainly stronger than ever. The metaphor of the Phoenix rising from the ashes (often associated with your sign) could not be more apropos this year. You’ve let go of so much during the last year and
now you’re preparing for a major rebirth. After shedding layers upon layers and ancient attachments, you’re ready for the new. This is your year to get crystal clear on what you’re most passionate about and commit to it in the deepest way possible. You are an all-ornothing sign to begin with, and this is a year when you simply must embrace your all-encompassing nature. You want to live life to the fullest, even if that means going to hell and back. It’s what keeps you feeling on fire and stretched to your max. You want to know that you’re growing and facing your deepest fears and insecurities, and coming back stronger for having done so. This is exactly where you’re at when 2014 kicks in.
Sagittarius: 2014 could
prove to be one of your most social years on record, Sag! The isolation you endured in 2013 is finally coming to an end. Nothing is more unbearable to your freebird soul than the feeling of being sequestered! Luckily, 2014 proves to be just the opposite. If anything, you’ll be craving a retreat by the end of the year just to recover from the non-stop mixing and mingling. There’s so much emphasis on your house of groups, friendships and long-term goals that you’ll happily be back in the ambitious saddle this year. You live for goals, challenges and aiming sky-high. This is your year to totally push past every limit imaginable. You’ll even surprise yourself with how resourceful you can be. Plus, you’ve got so much support from friends, family and colleagues that you cannot possibly lose.
Capricorn: Get ready for
one stellar career year, Capricorn! 2014 could easily be one of your most successful years on record, thanks to a huge conglomeration of planetary energies pushing you to the next level with your professional goals. For one thing you’ll have the planet of drive powering up the top of your horoscope for an extended stay, January through July. Plus, the North Node of Fate will meet up with Mars in March in your professional zone through the end of the year, making the push to excel a dire necessity. Finally, add to all of this ambition the fact that lovely Venus will be kicking off the year in your stars for the first two months. She’ll be retrograde during your birthday month in January, urging you to revisit old values and relationships. You may even see old friends or lovers crawling out of the woodwork. When Venus moves forward in February, you can expect some serious sweetness in your relationships -- and possibly
some extra cash.
Aquarius: 2014 is the
year to broaden your horizons and fly the friendly skies, Aquarius. The emphasis is on long-distance travel, philosophy and all forms of conscious awareness. If you’ve been hiding out at home, this is the year to get packing. Unprecedented adventure awaits. Life is sure to take you on some important journeys (literally, figuratively or both) on the quest for revealing the kind of mind-blowing truths that can only come from direct experience. You’ll have Mars firing up your house of travel for the entire first half of the year and quickly joined by the North Node of Fate in March. Wanderlust and travel fever could easily become daily themes, especially during the first half of the year. If you’re not able to physically travel, opt for activities that expand your mental and spiritual horizons, even if that means learning a foreign language or furthering your education.
Pisces: 2014 is the year of
major transformation and rebirth, Pisces. You’re about to undertake such a massive personal renovation project that your inner world will never quite look or feel the same. Of course, this will in turn revolutionize your outer world in the most fantastic ways imaginable. The first half of the year continues to celebrate romance and pleasure in a big and fabulous fashion. The overwhelming abundance of love that started crashing into your dreamy world last summer will continue to flourish straight through July. It’s not a question of falling madly in love -- it’s a question of why it seems to be a daily occurrence. The spell won’t be broken until summer, so enjoy this incredible fantasy. Once summer comes you may have to choose and commit.
