Homemaking in the Mountains
Thank you to everyone who had any part of
this year’s Homemaking in the Mountains on
October 15. We had over 300 in attendance

attendance learned many valuable new skills!
All the mini-craft tables were very popular

Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association
for
Kentucky Extension Homemakers are a great TEAM!! Our team co-captains, Ms. E. Go and Ms. Way to Go, are eager to increase our membership.
Our game plan is to increase membership by 1,000 members by
January 1, 2019. As a team, we can make this happen!
Each county is challenged to increase membership by 3 members each year for the next 3 years! We’re
striving for a NET gain of 3 members each year, so any loss in membership will need to be recovered
through new members AND your membership should INCREASE by at least 3 members.
This is our SMART goal for membership—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound.
Come on, KEHA!!! Show your spirit and let’s increase membership by at least 1,000 by 2019!
We’ll keep score for the next three years, and celebrate our champions. Here’s how:
Any county increasing membership by at least 3 will be recognized at the KEHA State Meeting
each year. (Remember: Your tipoff will be the number of members in your county as of December 31, 2015. Your challenge is to increase that number by at least 3 in 2016, 2017 and 2018.)
Any county that achieves 3 for 3 - makes the goal of a net gain of at least 3 members in 2016,
2017 and 2018 - will be entered in a drawing for a $500 prize to be awarded at the 2019
KEHA State Meeting.
Ms. E. Go and Ms. Way to Go will continue as our co-captains. The county with the greatest increase in members (by percentage) each year will receive Ms. E. Go and $300. The county with the greatest increase in members (number of members) each year will receive Ms. Way to Go and $300.

NOVEMBER 2016
THIS MONTH’S TOPIC:
MAINTAINING A GOOD CREDIT SCORE: WHY IT MATTERS
As a consumer, you have heard it said time and time again – it is important to have a good credit score. Have you ever wondered what a good credit score can do for you? There are many advantages to achieving and maintaining a good credit score, many of which can save you significant amounts of money now and years down the road. Lower interest rates. Interest rates or the amount of money charged for taking out a loan, are often significantly lower for consumers who have good credit scores. Consumers with high credit scores have proven they can properly manage credit. Therefore, potential lenders consider individuals with higher credit scores as debtors who are most likely to be able to repay a loan on time and in full, which allows for lower interest rates.
• Approval for higher credit limits. Financial institutions are willing to lend more money to consumers with a good credit score. If you have a good credit score, do not hesitate to use your
score as leverage when negotiating both the amount and interest rate of a loan. Your credit score is a strong testament of your ability to pay back the loan on time and in full. Additionally, consumers with higher credit scores are eligible for higher credit card limits which allow for greater purchasing power.
AUGUST 2016
Mortgages. Consumers with good credit scores are offered the lowest available mortgage rates. If you are already a homeowner and your mortgage rate is significantly higher than the low rates currently offered, you may consider refinancing your home. This is particularly true for homeowners who have significantly improved their credit score since applying for their mortgage. However, anyone interested in refinancing their home should be aware of the associated fees to determine if refinancing is the right option. Rent. If you are a renter, a good credit score is very important for obtaining approval from a landlord. Landlords commonly rely on credit scores to determine if they will rent to a tenant. Your credit score is a good indication of how likely it is that you will pay your rent on time. If your credit score is lower and you are approved, your landlord may charge you a higher security deposit.
Utilities. Before accepting you as a customer, many utility companies run a credit report to determine your payment history. If your credit score is low, you will most likely be charged a higher security deposit or you will be required to obtain a “letter of guarantee” in which a friend or family member agrees to pay your bill in the event that you fail to do so.
Better insurance rates. Insurance companies may use something called a credit-based insurance score when determining rates for policies. This score is based on your credit score and indicates how likely you are to file a claim. In short, consumers with a higher credit score are considered less likely to file a claim and are often offered the best rates on home and auto policies.
• Employment. Many employers have started checking potential employees’ credit history prior to making a hiring decision. Many of the same responsible behaviors that result in a strong credit history and score are the same type of responsible behaviors that employers are seeking. Additionally, individuals with high credit scores are more likely to be focused at work because they are less likely to be preoccupied with money worries from home.
Achieving and maintaining a good credit score will provide you with a number of perks. Be sure to maintain your credit score by paying bills on time, keeping your credit card balance low, and applying for new credit cards cautiously. Remember to use your credit score to your advantage. You will be surprised at how much leverage you have!
