As part of our 21st Century grant, we will be providing Financial Peace University. This course will begin March 26th and run consecutively for 9 weeks. This class will show you how to get rid of debt, manage your money, spend and save wisely and much more through very practical steps. In these 9 weeks you’ll learn to take control of your money, invest for the future and give like never before. You will not be asked to share any personal information. We will meet on Tuesday evenings from 6 – 7:30. Supper will be provided as well as child care for school age children where they will be able to work on homework with guided assistance from our tutors. If you are unsure about attending this class, attend the first week with no obligation before we order class materials. However, if you do attend, you will receive a workbook and DVD which will be yours to keep for future reference. This is provided at no cost to you. Financial Peace University is also an excellent tool for high school students, especially juniors and seniors who will soon be heading off to college or out on their own. Please call Karen Fredrickson at the high school with further questions and to register for the class.
