Tips for Week of September 9, 2004

THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEK:

• The Board of Burritt on the Mountain is sponsoring "Tea at the Ledges" on Sept. 19th. Check calendar for details on making reservations. 

• You can opt out of receiving credit card applications. Just call (888)567-8688. This is a toll-free, automated call. Be prepared to give your name, address and Social Security number. These credit reporting agencies already have that information, and stating it on the phone simply identifies you. You will have the choice of opting out for two years or for your lifetime. 

• A new Movie Gallery opened August 20 in the strip mall on Cecil Ashburn Drive. They have a drawing to win free rentals for a year! 

• Huntsville's first Alabama Outdoors store which carries high-end specialty camping, hiking, climbing and outdoor apparel, is open in the Cecil Ashburn strip mall. 

• Time to register for the Sept. 18th Run for Charity 5K benefiting The Community Free Clinic. The run is at Monte Sano State Park. Details on the Events Calendar. 

• I always knew that Alabama had a lot of pretty women--single or married. The 2004 Mrs. Alabama, Julie Love Templeton of Tuscaloosa, was crowned Mrs. America Sept. 7th. The pageant will be broadcast Sept. 17 on PAX-TV. Our own Huntsville resident, Stacie Willis was Mrs. America 2000.
