A series of six, free classes taught in Spanish and based off the "Your Money and Your Life" curriculum. The classes will be held at the current Shadow Wood Community Center and begin Tuesday, Oct. 18 from 6:00- 8:00 PM. The classes will continue every Tuesday and Wednesday evening until November 2. The class topics include budgeting, credit, predatory lending, and identity theft. There will also be a class specifically for the needs of immigrants and how these individuals can obtain a checking account, learn about which identifications can be used at banks, and discover their basic financial rights. At the end of the class, all of the graduates will be included in a drawing for a $50 savings bond. We encourage individuals of all ages and academic backgrounds to attend the class. |
