Hours will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The extended day option lasts until Time your relocation right (continued from page 8) when moving into a new home or apart- ment. Move mid-week. Weekends are a prime time for truck rentals and moving compa- nies. Pick a Tuesday or a Wednesday to move, and you will be much more likely to find an available moving service (even during peak moving months); you may even be able to negotiate a lower rate. Pick a mid-month moving date. Many people move at the beginning of the month when leases are up or after mortgage pay- ments are made. Fewer people move in the middle of the month, so you might find more affordable moving deals if you can wait a few extra weeks. Schedule a fall or winter move. The American Moving and Storage Associa- tion says half of all moves occur during one-third of the year -- between the begin- ning of May and Labor Day. Beat the rush by moving outside of these dates. Get an early start. Many people under- estimate the amount of time it takes to actu- ally move their belongings. Try to schedule a moving company to come very early in the morning to give you ample time to pack up the truck and unpack at your new home. 4 p.m. The program is open to children entering grades one through eight. The cost for one week for the first child in a family is $65, the cost for a second child is $50, and drops to $40 for three or more children with a maximum of $155 per week per family.
