Advertising |
| Some of our members have
expressed an interest in advertising their businesses
through the network. After much discussion, the
board has agreed to allow members only limited
advertising options on the website or as a newsletter
sponsor.
This will help offset network operating
costs as well as provide a service to network
members.
PPN continues to protect the privacy of
our members. Please see our privacy policy at the
bottom of this newsletter.
If you are interested in advertising,
please email Kathryn. | |

As
neighborhood kids begin heading back to school, it seems
like summer is quickly slipping into fall. Plans are
underway for our next ordering opportunities which will
take advantage of this year's harvest. More
details will be available next month.

Who Do You
Know? | |
| We are planning now for our
2007 Walton Feed order. We heard loud and
clear that there is a need for two truckloads. In
order to provide for a shipment that large, we will need
an indoor location with a minimum of 10,000 square feet
for a Friday and Saturday. The building must have
a ground level loading bay. A raised loading dock
will not work. If you have access to a large
warehouse, barn, or other kind of building, please
contact Kathryn
as soon as possible.

We have been busily working
on arrangements for our fall order of nuts and dried
fruits. Information and pricing will be available
in late September for this year's harvest. We will
get the ordering details to you as soon as they become
available. We are also hoping to add some new
kinds of products to the fall order. For those of
you who replied to our survey asking what kinds of
products you would like to see offered, we heard
you! Watch for details in September's
newsletter. |

well.

Recipe of the Month
|
|
Thanks to
Phyllis Pollard for contributing this month's recipe
from The Yeast Connection
Cookbook.
Waffles
2 t
baking powder OR (3/4 t unbuffered, corn-free vitamin C
crystals and 1/3 c boiling water, 2 t baking soda)
1
2/3 c cool water, nut milk or stevia tea
2 1/4 cups
amaranth flour
1/3 c arrowroot or tapioca
starch
1/2 t salt
1/4 c oil
Combine vitamin C
crystals, and cool water, stir to dissolve. In a
mixing bowl combine flour, salt, and starch. Whisk
the mixture to blend ingredient. When the crystals
are dissolved, whisk in the vitamin C water and
oil. When the waffle iron is ready, combine soda
and boiling water in a small bowl-it will foam.
Stir to dissolve; whisk into the batter.
These are crisp waffles
and my family loves them. I use baking powder
(Rumford's aluminum free, from Walton).

What is a fixed annuity?
A fixed
annuity is a long-term contract between you and an
insurance company, which can provide a guaranteed,
lifetime income – income that you can’t outlive.
You can
purchase a fixed annuity with either a single, lump-sum
payment or on a periodic premium basis. You also can
choose when you will receive payouts from your fixed
annuity, either immediately or beginning at some future
date.
Most fixed
annuities earn a competitive interest rate, often above
the rates offered for money market accounts or
certificates of deposit. And fixed annuities have a
guaranteed minimum interest
rate.
Best of all,
fixed annuities are tax-deferred under current tax laws.
The interest earned in your fixed annuity is not taxed
until you withdraw the money, usually when your total
income is lower and taxable at a lower rate. This is not
true for certificates of deposit, money market funds,
mutual funds or bonds. You pay an income tax on the
interest earned in these financial products in the year
that the interest was earned.
Because fixed
annuities are earmarked for retirement, you may pay
penalties if you withdraw funds from your annuity before
age 59 ½, including a 10 percent federal income tax
penalty. However, you can withdraw money before age 59 ½
under certain limited circumstances, such as death or
disability or by taking substantial equal periodic
payments.
