Q: Ask some of your volunteers to meet up to make some posters and signs for the event. Be sure to include the price and mention the cause you’re supporting. People may be more willing to get their car washed if they know that the money is going to a good cause.  Feel free to make the signs and posters colorful, but make sure larger signs are readable so people driving by can read them from a distance. Be sure to check with the property owner if you’ll be using stakes or trees to hold up the signs. Make an event page and share it with your friends and family (and ask them to share it with their friends as well). Mention the cause you’ll be raising money for on the page and, if possible, provide a link to the charity or organization.  Make sure to list the time and date correctly on the event page. Let people know the prices and any special services that will be available (like waxing or interior detailing). Pre-selling tickets online via an event page or fundraising platform is a great way to raise money from people who can’t show up for the car wash. Use platforms like PayPal or GoFundMe to talk about your cause and reach a wider audience. It’s also a great way that faraway friends and family can support your cause. Be sure to advertise what’s special about your car wash. For instance, if it’s eco-friendly, be sure to put that on signs. If you’ll be washing cars in less than 5 minutes, emphasize how fast it is. Do anything you can think of that might entice people to stop in and support the cause. You can even consider certain gimmicks that might draw people in. Try to make it relate to your cause, if possible (e.g., all of your volunteers might wear animal onesies to raise money for wildlife protection). Go to restaurants, coffee shops, and other privately-owned businesses to see if they’ll put up some of your flyers in their window. Let them know about the cause you’re supporting to make it more likely that they’ll say yes. Don’t put up posters in various places without asking first!
A: Meet with your group to create posters a week before the event. Use social media to advertise your charity car wash. Pre-sell tickets to friends and family. Garner more attention by using quirky traits or gimmicks. Ask local businesses to put up fliers about the event, if possible.

Article: Use masking tape or paper clips to keep the paper flat against the writing surface. A shifting paper can lead to blotches and broken lines when you are practicing your calligraphy.  If you are using a practice sheet of paper with lines, you may want to place another thicker piece of paper under it so the ink does not soak through your writing surface. You may also want to place a guard sheet under your writing hand so the oils from your hand do not absorb into the paper or get onto your calligraphy.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Fasten the paper to your writing surface.

Problem: Article: Pay specially attention to those written by women who have experienced it, or who work with it! Reading about other women's experiences will help you to understand the variety of possibilities during menopause, as well as reassuring you that you're not experiencing menopause alone. A good book to begin with is Dr Christiane Northrup's The Wisdom of Menopause: The Complete Guide to Physical and Emotional Health During the Change. Use books or the internet to research physical and emotional symptoms. Knowing what to expect will help when you're feeling irritable, dissatisfied, or impatient. Tracing these moods back to the reality of menopause will help you to work through them, rather than viewing yourself as suddenly ill-tempered. There are plenty of stories about the dreadful journey women go through when experiencing menopause, often published in women's magazines. The reality is that these stories highlight the less usual experiences; the more sensational and unusual the experience, the more newsworthy but that doesn't mean it's a reflection of the average experience. Look for books and articles that reflect good or neutral experiences, rather than simply bad ones. If you don't know what to expect from menopause, you'll be more vulnerable to the horror stories, the pressure to undergo treatments that you might not necessarily want to have, and the worry that your changes are out of your control. One way to combat this is to simply hear first hand accounts from women that you know! This will expose you to a variety of unique experiences. Information is power that leads to wisdom. As you absorb information on menopause, trust your own intuition, your critical thinking skills, and especially your body to tell you what is true for you.  You probably know much more than you think!
Summary: Read books about menopause. Learn what to expect. Seek out a variety of stories. Talk to other women. Trust what you know.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Do you want to stay away from family, friends, business associates, or all of these? If you have a profession or job that takes you outside of your home, cutting yourself entirely from society will be quite difficult. By nature of it, you will be required at the very least, to interact with those you work with. If you cut yourself off from society, will you make any exceptions? Who will you allow yourself to communicate and interact with? Think about the types of circumstances that would warrant getting back in touch with society. If things are tough right now, it can seem like a good idea to cut yourself off from society. But think about how this will play out over the long haul.  Do you want to stay away for a week, a month, or longer? Your time frame will determine your actions. For example, if you want to cut yourself off for a year, think about moving somewhere remote.

SUMMARY: Determine to what level you wish to cut yourself off from society. Determine your limits. Think about how long you’ll be away from society.

Q: Talking for a long time can seem like a lecture to your teen, so try not to make lengthy comments or offer extensive advice to your teen. Instead, try to keep your comments short and to the point. For example, if your teen wants to know why they can’t have a later curfew, you might say something like, “I know that you enjoy spending time with your friends, but 10pm is the curfew that we agreed on because you have obligations in the morning, and because I worry about you driving late at night. We can discuss a later curfew in a few months, but right now I think we should stick with the curfew that we agreed on.” Finding ways to help your teen see themselves as part of a team may also help to improve communication. You can create a team narrative by telling stories about an injustice or major obstacle that someone in your family overcame, such as coming back from a job loss or standing up to someone. You can also use projects to get your teen to engage with the family. For example, you can involve your teen in redecorating the family room, putting together a scrapbook, or planning a family vacation. While it is not a good idea to follow your teen’s every move on social media, you may be able to use social media to connect with your teen now and then. For example, you might share a news story that you know would be interesting to your teen on your teen’s Facebook wall, or respond to an Instagram photo that your teen posted. Find out what social media outlets your teen uses most often and look for occasional opportunities to engage with your teen through these outlets.  Don’t involve yourself in online conversations that your teen is having with her friends. Don’t use social media as a way to spy on your teen. Teens are in transition from childhood to adulthood and they require more privacy than they once did. When you talk with your teen, avoid prying into your teen’s personal life, especially if your teen seems reluctant to share something.  For example, if your teen goes on a date, don’t request a play-by-play description of the evening. You might simply say something like, “They seemed like a nice person. I hope you had a fun evening.”
A:
Keep comments brief. Create a team narrative. Use technology to engage your teen. Respect your teen’s privacy.
