Media Pitch Final

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOCUS ON PASSIVE INCOME RESURRECTED

Charles,

I have taken interest in your recent finance and money articles. Here is something right up your alley that promotes a great cause; teaching the cache valley community becoming financially independent.

An organization called Cache Valley Area Investors Association works to help people achieve their financial goals. The group focuses largely on passive income, and seems to be helping various interested investors. A few articles you have written emphasize finance, so I thought this may catch your eye.

I’m willing to arrange an interview (in person or phone), or just meet up to provide you with further material. Let me know, thanks.


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: Education mitigates the risks of investing.

FOCUS ON PASSIVE INCOME RESURRECTED
Local Association Supports the Cause


LOGAN, Utah—A recent emphasis is being made on the importance of achieving financial independence for Cache Valley residents.

CVAIA teaches and provides hope for people to become financially independent. Also, the group links individuals with the same types of ideas together. Meetings are held for instruction, brainstorming and networking. Often times members are enlightened by idea sharing, and expert guest speakers.

CVAIA meets on the first, third, and fifth Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. On the first Thursday the group gathers at the Chamber of Commerce, located at 160 N. Main. A restaurant of the members choice is the meeting place for the third Thursday, and if there is to be a fifth Thursday, the meeting is held again at the Chamber of Commerce.

LOCAL ORGANIZATION TO SPONSOR COMMUNITY BASKETBALL EVENT
Three-on-Three Tournament Scheduled for Saturday, April 28

LOGAN, Utah— An on-campus wellness group is organizing a fun, competitive, active basketball tournament for interested participants this spring.

Student Health Services (SHS) displayed enthusiasm for the upcoming activity titled Summer Break Shootout. “An event like this fits in well with our mission of wellness and an active lifestyle,” said Director of Health and Wellness Jim Davis.

This is not the first basketball related activity SHS has been involved with. According to Prevention Specialist Ryan Barfuss, having SHS completely on board will promote wellness in the community.

“Our goal is to provide a fun, competitive, exciting opportunity for any individual 18 or older to participate in a health-conscious, active event,” Barfuss said.

All teams are guaranteed at least three round-robin seeding games, and an entrance to a single elimination tournament where a champion will be crowned. In a round-robin, teams are separated into smaller divisions, and compete against each team in their respective pool. Rosters may have anywhere from three to five players. The event is not limited to USU students; any interested person may compete. Games will be played to 15 by “1’s and 2’s,” with the offensive players calling fouls.

Tournaments of the past have created excitement all involved. “It’s fast-paced, jam-packed action for both the athlete and the fan,” former participant Steve Pontius said.

Teams can register in a variety of ways. In person sign-ups take place in the TSC (located on USU campus) from Apr. 18-20, 8 a.m-4 p.m. Captains may also call or text Ryan at 806-433-7769 to secure a spot. For the technical saavy, individuals may email their team name and contact information to logan_hoops@hotmail.com

A registration fee of $35 will be charged to compete. There will be no admission price for parents, siblings and fans, at the same time concessions will be offered to raise money. All proceeds go towards the promotion and awareness of an active lifestyle, healthy living, and being well.


The Student Health Center provides a convenient and cost-effective resource for health care for students at Utah State University. A staff of physicians and advanced-level providers (FNP and PA) is supported by a well-trained staff of nurses, pharmacists, a laboratory technologist, and a health educator to provide care for day-to-day illness, first aid, and to monitor and provide care for more chronic illness, should the need arise. Additionally, the Health Center has responsibility for administering the Student Health Insurance Policy.

LOCAL ORGANIZATION TO SPONSOR COMMUNITY BASKETBALL EVENT

Three-on-Three Tournament Scheduled for Saturday, April 28

LOGAN, Utah— An on-campus wellness group is organizing a basketball tournament for all age qualifying interested patrons in late April.

Student Health Services (SHS) displayed enthusiasm for the upcoming activity titled Summer Break Shootout. “An event like this fits in well with our mission of wellness and an active lifestyle,” said Director of Health and Wellness Jim Davis.

This is not the first basketball related activity SHS has been involved with. The fitness club helped sponsor a tournament in December, but they were not actively involved. According to Prevention Specialist Ryan Barfuss, having SHS completely on board will promote wellness in the community.
