Welcome Benjamin Bernanke

Hello:

Benjamin Bernanke has been sworn in as the new head of the Federal Open Market Committee, replacing Alan Greenspan. Mr. Bernanke vowed to stick to the U.S. central bank's dual mission of keeping prices stable and promoting growth and jobs in cooperation with Congress. It will be a fineline to raise interest rates just enough to keep U.S. Treasuries attractive to foreign buyers, but not raise interest rates so much as to choke off economic growth. We wish him well.

Baby Boomers are pioneering the cyclic lifestyle. Perhaps as they cycle between the work place, education, and family responsibilities, they can volunteer and get more involved in the mission of your organization.
