Many of you have written to ask whether Brad and I would ever be at some public function where people could meet us – to exchange coupons, to have me autograph your Frugal books, or just to chat about frugal gambling. 

Well, this coming Saturday, September 19, is just such an opportunity. Since we both are feeling better - finally over the flu (or whatever we had), we plan to be at the monthly luncheon at the Gold Coast buffet organized by vpFREE. The group meets in front of the buffet and enters together promptly at 11:30 a.m.  

Haven’t signed up to vpFree yet? No problem, you can subscribe at vpFREE-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.   This is free site. Duh! Maybe you guessed that by the name! I predict that if you play video poker, you will wonder how you ever got along without the information you find there. And even if you only play slots, you will find it a good resource about slot clubs, comps and other related subjects.  

Hope to see a lot of you all Saturday.    Bring your coupons and be prepared to make some new frugal friends!

I subscribed to the SaveLV.com Daily Updates a few weeks ago and I am amazed at the wealth of frugal information they provide. Free food giveaways, free entertainment offerings, so many ways to make your dollars stretch further if you live in or visit Las Vegas. 

Today’s Daily Update e-mail contained a good example of the unusual frugal offers this Internet site digs up – Harrah’s has teamed up with romance novel publisher, Harlequin, to offer two free Vegas novel downloads. 

These daily frugal finds (and much more) can be found on their Web site but I find it handy to receive their daily updates by e-mail.

In celebration of National Library Week, the Las Vegas-Clark CountyLibrary District is having an amnesty program beginning Monday, April 13 through Sunday, April 19. The program is intended to encourage the return of library materials by library users whose overdue fines are keeping them from coming back to the library. 

A cardholder must pay their outstanding balance in full in order to take advantage of the program. Fines and fees for lost, damaged or overdue materials owned by the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District will be waived up to $25, upon payment in full of any remaining balance on the account. Simply stop by any of the Library District’s 24 convenient branches to take advantage of amnesty week.   Fines and charges will not be waived over the telephone.

Lost library cards will also be replaced free of charge.
