Under Par Planning - Real financial planning for people who love golf

Native American Heritage Month may be over, but we still have one last Native Business to promote...

As we get to the end of the year and people start thinking of their financial goals, today's spotlight is on:

Jeff Wolniewicz (Enrolled Seneca Nation Member) and his company...Under Par Planning

Under Par Planning help's people who love golf connect what they do with their money and what they want out of life

Who is Jeff Wolniewicz?

Personally, golf is a huge part of my life. I'm a member of Crag Burn Golf Club where I serve on the Board of Governors as the Vice President. Spending time at Crag Burn is how I maintain balance and it is absolutely my happy place. Prior to co-founding Under Par Planning, I played golf for the Binghamton University Bearcats which ultimately led to one of my proudest accomplishments — being inducted into the Binghamton University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2018. While at Binghamton, I earned a Bachelors’s Degree in 2007 as well as an MBA in 2009. Following Binghamton I pursued my dream of becoming a professional golfer and played on mini tours for a couple years. You are reading my bio here and not seeing me compete against Tiger Woods so it didn't work out as I dreamed, but it was an unbelievably rewarding experience that I grew and learned from.

Outside of golf, my family and friends mean the world to me. I would not be the person I am today without their love and support through the good times and not so good times. They're awesome. You can also find me playing with my puppy Thor, having drinks somewhere, watching sunsets, listening to live music, or some combo of all those things!

Professionally, after pursuing professional golf I moved home to Buffalo, NY and began my career as a financial planner, earning and becoming a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®️) in 2014, a Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®️) in 2015, an Accredited Estate Planner (AEP®️) in 2019, and a Registered Life Planner (RLP®) in 2021. Personal and professional development is a huge part of who I am and I continually strives to become the best version of himself for his friends, family, and clients. I bring the same dedication and commitment to excellence to our real financial planning work that I did the golf course.

There will be a Freightrain Reunion concert at the Rapids Theater in Niagara Falls, NY. Robert “Freightrain” Parker for years has done concerts around the holidays to collect toys for kids in need. NACS has and will be a recipient of toys again this year, so we appreciate getting the word out. Support the concert and bring some toys to support the community. You can feel good listening to some great music, knowing you did good by helping kids have a Christmas this year.

Freightrain is led by bassist Robert “Freightrain” Parker, the first Native American to be inducted into the Buffalo, NY Music Hall of Fame. Parker has made a name for himself over the years touring internationally with many big names in the blues world including Rock Bottom, Sherman Robertson, Chief James Billie, and Paul Reddick. His current project Freightrain, based in Buffalo, NY, is a culturally diverse, soulful band that possesses a distinctive and energetic approach to American Roots.

Good Mind Reminder...

Don't be too hard on yourself. Life happens to everyone. We all will face moments of loss, anger, fear, disappointment, embarrassment, feeling inadequate, etc. Having those things happen to you does not make you special or different, as many go through those same things...it's called life. We're human, we make mistakes. What makes you special is not letting those situations cloud your Good Mind. Take control of protecting your Good Mind and let go of some of those things that are holding you back or holding you down. Don't be so hard on yourself, by keeping a Good Mind you will find a quicker path out of those situations and not let them define you.

Good Mind Reminder...

Keeping a Good Mind is also about protecting your Good Mind and knowing that the only person you control is yourself. How you see things, how you react and respond is up to you. Holding grudges, actually holds you back because you're letting something in the past affect your present and future. Expecting someone to change or waiting for an apology only side tracks your own pursuit of happiness. Letting it go and forgiving sets you free to continue to live your life to the fullest and be in a perspective gratitude for what you have, rather than worrying about what you don't have. You have the power to control that, don't give it to anyone else or anything by holding that grudge. Forgiving doesn't mean you have be friends or allow them to be close to you again, that's a different decision, but forgiving allows you to put it in the past where it belongs and not let it impact your future. It allows you to keep your Good Mind and your power...

NACS is honored and proud to congratulate our very own Pete Hill on 30 years of service to our organization and community! Many know Pete for his caring and kindness, but also his wisdom and knowledge. Pete started with NACS as a client and worked his way up to become our Director of Special Initiatives - a role created just for him. Many partners in the community and across the state know Pete for his cultural competency trainings and long list of topics that he can present on. All focused on making the systems, organizations, programs, and people that serve, better able to do their jobs and increasing positive outcomes for those the lives that come into their care. Pete has left his mark on many and we're so thankful to still count him as one of colleagues. We benefit from his presence everyday. Here's to the next 30 Pete!!!! :) Congratulations on a great milestone and NYA:WEH for who you are and all you do!!

Good Mind Reminder...

Be a positive force for those around you. Everyone's journey is different. Have compassion and empathy, and understand better by trying to put yourself in their shoes. Use kind, soft words when speaking to others. Be encouraging and empowering to others. Be a light for someone who may be in their journey out of darkness. Steps in the right direction, are still in the right direction. Their journey may be longer, but help them stay on it.

After reviewing various forecasts, we are deciding to POSTPONE the Social that was planned for this Saturday (11/19) at Indigenous Attractions in Niagara Falls. The latest models have the snow band moving north into the Niagara Falls area Saturday afternoon into evening, right when we would be having the Social.

It’s a difficult decision because we were all looking forward to it. However, our first responsibility to keep everyone safe and out of danger to the best of our ability.

We will look to reschedule it and make it even bigger and better another day! Thank you for your understanding as well as assistance in getting the word out.

Please review the weather alert below for the Lake Effect Snow Warning in the Buffalo area. Be safe, make sure you have needed supplies, check on your Elders to make sure they have what they need, otherwise stay home, and avoid any unnecessary travel.

Good Mind reminder for today...

As we say to our youth, "If you surround yourself with Good Minded people, good things will happen! If you surround yourself with people with clouded minds, you might not like the result." We are taught not to judge other people with clouded minds, however we are suppose to be aware of those with clouded minds. Although, we can't control others, we can protect ourselves by who we keep company with. Put yourself in positive environments, with positive people. Be careful around those that cloud their minds with drugs or alcohol, or that try to cloud yours with the same. Like the memes below point out...Find those that lift you up and not put you down. Find those that speak well of you and not spread rumors. Find those that celebrate your success and not be jealous of it. Find those you feel positively charged with, not those that are negative and bring you down. Find those that fill your cup, not drain it. You don't have to take ownership of other peoples issues and those things that cloud their minds. Know your value, know your worth! Protect your Good Mind, that's your power, and that's your path for your own peace, health and wellbeing.

For the past several years, teacher Mrs. Caroline Young of the Gowanda Elementary School Title VI program has invited Native American Community Services of Erie and Niagara Counties Inc. to come provide weekly intervention programming to our Title Vl students in second through fourth grades.

The program is “Too Good for Violence,” a seven-week, evidenced-based classroom program designed to enhance prosocial behaviors and skills, as well as improve factors related to conflict and violence. 🤝 💙

Ms. Star Wheeler, director of Health and Wellness for NACS and in the prevention field for 16 years, has been the GES facilitator. The programming takes place during the students' lunchtime so they do not miss any instruction time. 🏫

This is a very interactive program, full of activities and role-playing. The students love working with “Ms. Star” and always ask when she is returning! 🙌
