Fine Living Network in conjunction with Money Magazine 
Sue Nadell is a producer a one hour special and is looking to feature a young couple (either about to marry or recently married) who would be interested in getting a money make-over.  Perhaps they come from different financial backgrounds - with two very different attitudes about spending and saving.  We'd like to help them find a 'happy medium': how to talk about money without arguing about it -how to find common ground so that they can achieve their financial goals as a couple (and ultimately as a family).  For more info email her at suen at actualprod.com.


Looking to sell a Nationally branded baby products company
The products are in over 250 upscale boutiques, including FAO Schwartz and Fortunoff, as well as numerous e-retailers.  They have professional representation in over 35 states and growing, and are at a point where the business is requiring more resources and time than available. This is an ideal venture for two, possibly three business minded women who have the time and resources to contribute to its full growth potential. There are many impressive expansion ideas for introducing the line into some incredible, high volume arenas.  Furthermore, they just introduced a new clothing line, luke & livie, that can be attached to this acquisition or acquired separately.  Please review the line at www binksters.com, or call for information on the entire line(s). Kelli Ivie, President/Owner of Binksters - 818-874-9691 or kelli at binksters.com

TREEHOUSE SOCIAL CLUB: See my review of our Valentine's Day at the The Treehouse Social Club at http://www.insidesocal.com/lamama/ 
DEBT NATION: Is your kid in debt? High school and college students could win a $5,000 scholarship in a video contest sponsored by the Service Employees International Union and the League of Young Voters to bring attention to growing credit card debt among young people. The best 30- to 60-second public service announcement about debt will win the grand prize; four runners-up will each win $500. See www.KeepItInYourPants.org 
L.A. TEACHERS' AWARDS: Forget the Oscars. Los Angeles Universal Preschool is accepting nominations for Preschool Teacher of the Year. Nominations are open to preschool teachers, teaching assistants and aides who work in Los Angeles County. Candidates may be nominated by parents, colleagues or administrators. The deadline is March 3. See www.laup.net 
FAMILY LEAVE CHALLENGED: The Family & Medical Leave Act allows workers to take off 12 weeks a year unpaid to care for a child or other family member with a medical condition. But advocates for work and family balance and Hillary Rodham Clinton no less are criticizing the Bush administration this week for trying to make it harder for employees to take the leave. Under proposed changes, workers would need to give advance notice when possible, and employers could directly contact doctors to verify employees' claims. 
YOUNG ACTIVISTS: The Acme Sharing Co. aims to instill a sense of community and conservation in kids by suggesting activities that are fun, free and educational. Here's an example from the site: Have the kids go around the house to hunt for all loose change. When glass jars and piggy banks are full, exchange the coinage for paper and then let them spend it on a charity of choice. See www.acmesharing.com 
MOTHER'S HELPER: I love this. The whole point of Handipoints is to make work fun for kids. The Web site has online chore charts; kids use the points they win from doing their jobs to adopt and dress up a cartoon cat, play games, and watch cartoons in HandiLand, a virtual world in the vein of Club Penguin and Webkinz. See www.handipoints.com

Donations needed for Spring Auction at Marquez Charter
Located in Pacific Palisades, your generous support can make a real difference to this neighborhood public school. All the money raised goes directly to fund critical elements of the curriculum at Marquez - programs that are an essential part of our children's education, but which are not paid for by LAUSD. This includes our Digital Edge computer education program, teachers' aids in every classroom, a rich, extended library program, Art, Music, P.E., and more. To offer these programs, Friends of Marquez must meet a significant fundraising goal, each and every year. Your contribution of merchandise, services or a gift certificate can be an important part in this effort. Your donation, along with your business name, will be prominently displayed at the Auction. In addition, it will be included in the Auction Catalog, which is circulated to the entire Marquez community - making your generosity visible to hundreds of Pacific Palisades families. In the past, Marquez families have enthusiastically supported the businesses involved in the auction. The children benefit from every part of our fundraising effort! Contact Marlo Longstreet marlogreg at yahoo.com for more info.
