1 October 2014 Hey, «fname»! Does Butch s I can t remember the last time I had a face-to-face conversation with my family mood look familiar? IN THIS ISSUE FACE-TO-FACE FAMILY IDEAS HALLOWEEN FUN FACTS TRIVIA QUESTION EASY RECIPE FOR BIG GAME BITES SHOCK-TOBER A MESSAGE FROM FRED Fall is in full swing and with it, all the controlled chaos that makes your house feel like a dress rehearsal for the Ringling Bros Circus. (If you re one of those uber-organized folks, we applaud you. And we re slightly jealous ) There s homework and practice, meetings and (yes, we said it) holiday prep. To top it off, when the whole crew IS home, you re split up between laptops, ipods and cable TV in 4 different rooms. Here are a few of our favorite tips for making the most of those oh-so-brief moments of family togetherness : 1) Family Dinner. Shoot for just 1 night a week, and make it official! (We recommend NOT putting Brussel sprouts on the menu. Just this once.) 2) Game Night. Twister, board games, charades go old school! 3) Electronics-Free Time. Just 30 minutes a day can make all the difference for everyone! 4) Invite a Family Over for the Evening. Remember when we used to socialize face-to-face? (And no, Skype doesn t count.) 5) Family Field Trip. Plan an outing every month it doesn t have to cost a pile of cash. Better yet, take turns picking the venue. (We mentioned electronics-free, right??)

7 WE OUR CLIENTS! Fred Mennecke, Service Manager Our Free Loaner vehicles have become so popular and are in such high demand that it s becoming increasingly more difficult to keep them available for a minor service, such as an oil change. A major service or repair can sometimes tie up a loaner vehicle overnight (or longer) which makes it difficult to have a loaner available for a minor service. It s also important to note that when your repairs are completed that you bring back the loaner in a timely manner so that it will be available for the next client in need. Remember, if we can t put you in a loaner vehicle we can still keep things easy and convenient by giving you a ride or we can even pick up and deliver your vehicle. I was impressed with how clean the waiting area is. Service is great, good mechanics and great work done on my vehicle! Denise M.
