How to Save for College 101
Have you ever wondered how you will save enough for the cost of a college
education for your children or even yourself? While the costs of college
may seem overwhelming, GoldenState Scholarshare—California's 529
College Savings Program—is an easy, flexible way to save for higher
education while enjoying tax advantages. You can learn more at an information
session with a TIAA-CREF Scholarshare representative on Tuesday, February
25 in the Keck Amphitheater, Beckman Center from 1 to 2 PM. For more information,

Daffodil Days Are Here Again
The American Cancer Society's Daffodil Days fundraiser has begun. Once
again volunteers from ScrippsAssists will be collecting daffodil orders
at TSRI, Scripps Green Hospital, and Scripps Clinic Torrey Pines. Sales
run throughout the month of February.
Daffodil Days is one of the Cancer Society's largest fundraisers. Money
raised goes towards cancer research and education in California. ScrippsAssists
has consistently been one of the largest participants in the county during
Daffodil Days, raising between $4,000 and $6,000 each year.
The American Cancer Society's goal is to deliver a Gift of Hope bouquet
to every cancer patient undergoing treatment at local healthcare facilities.
Your anonymous donation of $18 towards a Gift of Hope will help ensure
this goal is met. In addition to the bouquet, cancer patients and their
families receive educational materials and information on services available
to them from specially trained ACS volunteers.
The following ScrippsAssists volunteers are available to take your orders.
Please contact the volunteer closest to you. The deadline for receipt
of all orders and payment (make checks payable to The American Cancer
Society) is Thursday, February 27. Flowers are expected on Monday, March
17th.
Available for purchase this year are: bouquet of 10 daffodils, $10.00;
bouquet of 10 daffodils with cobalt blue vase, $18; vision arrangement
with 20 daffodils and vase, $35; spring arrangement with about 30 daffodils
and vase, $60; corporate arrangement with about 50 daffodils and vase,
$110; gift of hope to cancer patient, $18 (or any amount).
