 that will harden after you’re completed working with it. When you obtain the clay, work it right into any type of shape you like such as a circle or a heart, but ensure it’s big sufficient to fit the handprints. Make 2 openings via the leading where you can put a ribbon via it so it can be hung. Take the baby’s hands and also push them strongly into the clay. Allow it completely dry, after that if you select, you can paint it too. Affix the ribbon as well as you now have a gorgeous gift.
An additional simple child handprint craft that makes a wonderful gift is to create a vase. Obtain child secure paint in a couple of colors. Set out a couple of sheets of paper and doing only one color at a time, help to place the baby handprints on the documents. Let each color handprint completely dry before you move onto another color. After every little thing has actually finally dried, reduced the paper up. You can do it so that each handprint is private or you can make strips of paper. Make sure that the cut pieces of paper are no larger than the baby’s handprint itself. After the cutting is complete, put a thin layer of Mod Podge on the back of it as well as stick it to a plain, clear flower holder. Do this with each little notepad till the vase is totally covered. You can currently cover the whole beyond the flower holder with a thin layer of Mod Podge. Let it entirely dry before you manage it.
For a third infant handprint craft, you can design a box. Most likely to the shop as well as pick up a cost-effective, currently stained, small box. Make gray colored paint by blending black and also white kid safe paint together. Dip the baby’s palms in the paint and also put them on a piece of paper. Allow the paint dry, eliminated the handprints, placed a thin coat of Mod Podge on the back then stick them to the cover of package. After you let them completely dry, placed an additional slim coat of Mod Podge over the whole box, consisting of over the painted handprints. You currently have another one-of-a-kind gift.
Child handprint crafts are fun to do and also will certainly be totally valued and loved by the recipient.
70% of Family businesses do NOT Pass successfully to the second generation.
When? How much longer do you want to run the business yourself? Is there a trigger event such as when you want to retire or when a successor such as a child or key employee will be ready and able to take over?
What’s next for you? Will you completely exit the business and turn it over to your successor or do you want to still be involved? Will you start a new business or enjoy time with the family?
Who will be the successor? Will you sell to a new owner or turn things over to a family member or key employee?
Running a successful business requires keeping score of what is happening. This includes reviewing standard financial reports, such as the Profit and Loss Statements, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statements. However, it should also include more detailed KPIs that indicate which products or services are more profitable, how you are performing with respect to each client/customer, what the trends are related to these, and other pertinent variables. A regular review of these metrics with the team will help drive the business to greater success for the current owner, and when ready, allow a potential successor to also evaluate the business. Keeping the perspective of driving the numbers to increase the “value” will further enhance the benefit to the owner when ready for transition.
Designing and implementing effective business systems that can be performed without the daily intervention of the owner can result in consistent and improved product/service quality. This also allows team members to take on more responsibility for various areas of production. Systems will include things such as Point of Sale (POS System), accounting, Operations Manual (outlining details of all processes within the organization), Personnel Manual (to be sure team members are aware of what is expected of them and addresses legal issues such as equal opportunity), Job Descriptions (which cover specific positional expectations), and other documentation to help control each area of the business. The right systems can improve quality and consistency while reducing operating costs. Systems can also allow someone to view the business from the outside as a potential new owner and significantly increase the value to both the new and existing owner.
Knowing how to generate new clients/customers and maintain existing clients/customers is critical to the short and long term success of a business. Having a written set of procedures outlining the various marketing strategies used with metrics showing the success or lack thereof per strategy is important to the present owner to gauge the return on this investment. A potential future owner would also find this invaluable to document that the marketing is based on a plan rather than the specific relationships with the owner/manager.
Having an overall plan for the business will keep team members focused on what is important for the business and their own role within it. Too often, businesses fall into the habit of being reactive rather than pro-active to what is being done. Goals should be established for all key team members to achieve what is needed to move the business forward. This helps keep team members engaged in their work and impacts the overall business performance. Productivity will continue to improve through greater focus, which is important both for the existing owner and a successor when the time is right.
A healthy and happy organization will better collect and process the necessary information to best utilize the team and assets of the organization. This would include such things as organizational communications, decision making and information management. All of these contribute both to the immediate success of the organization and an increase in value at the time of transition.const state = {

Animals big and small blessed
Some of the more than 30 assorted canines and a guinea pig (centre front) with Presbyterian Minister Rev Peter Jackson (right of centre front) who conducted the annual Blessing of the Animals ceremony.
The ceremony was held in the carpark of the Presbyterian church in Ngaio Rd, Waikanae, as part of St Francis of Assisi day celebrations on Sunday, September 30.
Visitors were treated to an impromptu concert by Kapiti Brass band as they arrived, and a delicious afternoon tea later, provided by Relish cafe.
Four-footed pilgrims enthusiastically savoured a smorgasbord of animal delicacies kindly brought by Kapiti Kritters of Paraparaumu.
The bright orange sashes of Huha volunteers made them easy to spot and Vicky Broad outlined the wide range of animal advocacy services undertaken by this no-kill sanctuary.
Huhua were grateful to be offered the day’s koha.
Rev Jackson was “delighted with the response” this year which exceeded his expectations.Twenty-three years ago Father Charles Strobel had a vision of a program that would aid the homeless population of Nashville.  That vision is ROOM IN THE INN. Today, the program has grown to include over 150 congregations. Each night the program is able to harbor between 150 and 230 guests from the winter elements per night. With the economy that our country is experiencing, it is again predicted that the homeless population will increase.
St. Ignatius will begin its twenty-second year of involvement starting in November and running through the end of March. In previous years we have become known as the “Hilton on Bell Road”. This has been attributed to the wonderful hospitality that was extended by members of our parish. We are again asking our parishioners to open their hearts to those less fortunate. Most people think that homelessness will never happen to them. For many of the homeless population that has been the case, but due to unforeseen circumstances, tragedy has struck. Two or three missed paychecks has caused some to lose everything. Others have been victims of natural disasters; and there are those, who unable to care for themselves, have no one to turn to.

And ANSWER: LORD, I HEARD YOU CALLING IN THE NIGHT. 
Thank you for caring enough to again respond with the love in your hearts.
