Final-Media Pitch

CACHE VALLEY INVESTORS ASSOCIATION-LEARNING HOW TO BECOME FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT
Dear Jason,
We want you to know that the CVAIA is a great organization that is there to help those in need become financially independent.  The goals of our association are to help people realize that anyone, no matter what situation they are in, can be able to manage their money in a way so that some day they will be able to work because they want to, not because they have to. 
The CVAIA is a great organization for people to come and learn in a casual environment where we meet twice a month, one of those times being at a restaurant such as Café Sabor or Hamilton’s.
If People learn the right mentality and approaches to investing, they can all be successful in what they desire.  People should be able to spend their time doing something they love, not just a job that provides an income.  Passive income largely makes this possible.  There are many organizations with the stated goal of helping people understand the relationship between assets, liabilities, income, expenses.  They practice the methods found in the ideologies of books including Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Wealthy Barber, The Millionaire Next Door, Atlas Shrugged, The Automatic Millionaire, and The Secret.
Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) teaches people how to increase passive income.  CVAIA embraces the Law of Attraction, Law of Abundance, and Law of Exchange.  CVAIA began in August 2007 and now has members from many geographical locations and from all walks of life.  The members come together with the same belief: that education mitigates the risks of investing.
We would love to arrange any interviews if necessary or provide any other information that you would like from us.

LEE’S ANNUAL HOLIDAY FOOD SHOW- COME HAVE FUN AND GET READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS
SMITHFIELD, Utah-Want to play games, win prizes, and learn great holiday recipes and ideas?  If so you should join us at our annual Lee’s holiday food show.
Every year for the last four years Lee’s Marketplace has held a holiday food show at all three stores in Smithfield, Logan, and Ogden.  The holiday food show consists of games, contests, prizes, samples throughout the store, recipes, and many ideas to help out during the holidays.
Pete Krusi, store director of the Smithfield Lee’s said, “We started this annual food show because we know how stressful the holiday’s can be and wanted to help people with food and other ideas to use during these busy times.  It’s been a great tradition so far and everyone seems to enjoy the games and contests, it’s a lot of fun.”
The food show is held every November, usually towards the beginning of the month.  This year it will be held on November 13th.  It’s been a great success so far and we hope to continue this tradition.  It is a great way to have some fun during the holidays, while getting some great ideas to help you through the crazy times the holidays can bring. We always have a big turnout and it is a great place to be if you are looking to get amazing deals while you are grocery shopping, holiday ideas, and possibly win some prizes while you are there.
If you have any questions, or would like further information on the food show happening at all Lee’s Marketplace locations, please contact us by phone, or at leesmarketplace.com, or you can find us on Facebook.

COME LEARN HOW TO BECOME FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT
LOGAN, Utah-The CVAIA is an organization that is promoting a cause and wants everyone to get involved.  The cause of CVAIA is to educate people so they can become financially independent.
This is a great organization that is there to help anyone, no matter what situation they are in, to realize that they can become financially independent and possibly, after about seven to ten years, never work another day in your life, and be able to work because you want to, not because you have to.
The organization, which started in 2007, has about 80 members, and they meet every first and third Thursday of every month.  The first Thursday of the month they meet at the Cache Chamber of Commerce, and the third Thursday they meet at a restaurant, usually Café Sabor, Hamilton’s, or Elements.  They teach that if you can get your expenses down and passive income, which is income that you are earning all the time, up on a monthly basis you can become financially independent.  They have speakers come or just sit around and talk; it is a very casual environment and there is no cost to join.
President Parker said, on why he started this organization, “I wanted to educate people, and was sick of people complaining about their jobs, so I started this organization to help them learn more about what they can do to become financially independent.” 
If People learn the right mentality and approaches to investing, they can all be successful in what they desire.  People should be able to spend their time doing something they love, not just a job that provides an income.  Passive income largely makes this possible.  There are many organizations with the stated goal of helping people understand the relationship between assets, liabilities, income, expenses.  They practice the methods found in the ideologies of books including Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Wealthy Barber, The Millionaire Next Door, Atlas Shrugged, The Automatic Millionaire, and The Secret.
