T Volunteers SCORE
he volunteers at the Service Corps of Re- tired Executives (SCORE) know the value of a strong mentor in helping entrepreneurs achieve
their business dreams. That’s why the nationwide non- profit helps small businesses build the workforce. With 370 chapters and more than 10,000 volunteers, this group of counselors has a five-year goal of creating 100,000 new jobs, and they’re looking for military leaders to help. “I would say probably 47 percent of our volunteers are
former military people,” says Kenneth Yancy Jr., CEO of SCORE. “Retired military people have volunteered to serve their country previously, and what we’re doing ... is to help communities from an economic perspective, so there is a parallel there. Military folks have a tendency to want to be involved and help their communities.” SCORE comprises volunteers with expertise in business
areas. The most common contributions include free indi- vidual and online counseling and workshops. Capt. John Philo, USAF-Ret., Mississippi district direc-
tor of SCORE, was teaching university-level management classes when he found the organization. A former budget officer, he helps several businesses monitor their bottom line and is looking to recruit more volunteers. “The management training that the military provides is often better than what civilian life offers,” he says. “Most former military people I know are really good at their jobs. With 10,000 volunteers nationwide, we offer centuries of experience.” To find a local SCORE chapter, visit

ummer is the season for informal enter- taining, so why not host a summer barbecue? Plan a meal that’s easy and healthy. If you cook
ahead, everything will be simpler and you can relax. Here are some new combinations to consider this summer: Focaccia bread with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes
is easy to pick up at the store. Surprise additions like Greek olives in a potato salad or blue cheese over greens will wow adventurous guests. When it comes to the main course, remember sum-
mer grilling favorites like hotdogs and hamburgers can be more work than you think — you’ll need buns, ketchup, relish, and mus- tard, and someone’s bound to ask for sliced cheese. Salmon with dill sauce is simpler and more elegant. New options like mush- room-based veggie burgers ensure guests with differ- ent dietary needs won’t be left out of the fun.
