CHERYL JACKSON/ THE SISTERS OF SAVINGS

 

www.sistersofsavings.com

 

Sisters of Savings seek to educate families on how to save hundreds of dollars a month simply by using coupons and how to use that savings to give back to the community. Founded by natural sisters Cheryl Jackson and Lynette Shofner, the organization teaches how to cut a grocery bill, sometimes by as much as ninety percent, while more than tripling the amount of food purchased. It is the Sisters of Savings mission to improve lives and increase the money leftover in households.

LONE STAR BABY & KIDS

RECARO is very unique in the market as our technical teams pull knowledge from our production vehicle business unit, our motorsports business, and our commercial vehicle business which exists to provide seating solutions for drivers such as bus drivers that can be seated for an entire work day so ergonomics and comfort are of utmost importance. For our child seats, we begin by looking at the structure of auto racing seats, ergonomics of a bus seat, and the latest technologies in your every day car to create the foundation for a design.  After each of these elements are incorporated we have parents and grand-parents of all ages review what their daily interaction is with their seats to make sure the experience is as ease and safe for those using the seats, not just those riding in them.  

           

Since there are so many options, what is the best advice for parents when selecting a seat?

 

Research and product demonstrations are very important.  There are small details that shoppers can easily miss from how easy a seat cover is to clean to structural advantages.  For instance in our high back booster VIVO, we have an additional aluminum support structure that other seats don’t have.  It is a small detail until you really need it, and if an accident does occur, you do not want your child’s seat to flex under impact and we have designs to guard against these types of issues. Second, have your child try it out for fitment and enjoyment.  Some seats fabrics they may not like while they fall in love with the feel of others, plus there are differences in the types and amount of padding and foam used. Finally, review how you would have to handle it on a daily basis to make sure you can operate it easily without frustrating yourself.   

Interview Question & Answer 5   

 

Do all car seats incorporate these same features?

 

In the market, no but within RECARO yes.  Some manufacturers put high emphasis on creature comforts like cup-holders or a wide range of cover colors. From the fact that car seats laws are being signed by our government at a growing rate, there is a shift to safety and now it is time to educate parents on what the risks are and where seats differ from each other in addressing these risks.

     

What else should parents know prior to shopping for a child’s car seat?

 

     Try them in the store and in your vehicle if possible.

     READ THE INSTRUCTIONS/MANUALS

     Become familiar with all the functions of the seat to make the experience the best possible for you and your child.

     Avoid bulky clothing as they will not allow the seat to perform at its highest level.

     Don’t use “add-on” products in the car seat as these can increase the safety risk.

     And finally remember that investing in safety by spending the extra 30 minutes for research or $20 on a seat may be something you thank yourself for later.

BILL BRINTON/ CHARLES CREEK VINEYARD

www.charlescreek.com

Bill Brinton resides in Sonoma, but his roots are deep in the Midwest. Midwesterners are known for strong American values, respect for family and institutions, and the ability to create and recognize value in products.

Bill is a direct descendent of a true pioneer, John Deere. His direct family was at the helm of Deere until its recent transition to a public company. Deere created the self-scouring steel plow, an invention that revolutionized the agricultural world. It is this spirit of innovation and tradition that Bill brings to the company he founded, Charles Creek Vineyard. Charles Creek is named after his son Charley and his grandfather, Charles Deere Wiman.

Ten years prior to the start of Charles Creek Vineyard, Bill used this same dedication to create new and innovative beverages. In 1993, Bill, a graduate of the Columbia University MBA program, established a natural products and nutritional beverage firm, The Wiman Beverage Company. This company was sold to a larger firm in 2000.

Bill enjoys vineyard selection and development, as well as the critical evaluation and blending of the juice from grapes into wine. The wines are styled to pair wonderfully with a wide variety of fresh foods, and his vision is to create wines that could be sold for $30 to $75 per bottle, but that provide an exceptional value in the $20 to $25 price range. Value and integrity are the cornerstone of Midwestern values, and the basis upon which Charles Creek Vineyard was founded.
