'Taking Control: Financial Strategies for Women' - January 31st at the DCA

Join us for an educational evening that focuses on personal finances from a woman’s perspective.  Instructor Karen Goersch offers sound, practical strategies that you can use immediately to help pursue a more comfortable financial future. In about an hour, we’ll cover topics ranging from investing to retirement to maximizing Social Security benefits to preparing for the unexpected, with specific information for women who face divorce or widowhood.

This interactive workshop will be held Thursday, January 31st. Wine and cheese will be served at 7:00pm, followed by the presentation at 7:15pm.  The workshop fee for DCA members is $10; $20 public price.  Participants will receive a full-color, 20-page workbook filled with a wealth of information and exercises, which are designed to help you assess your current situation and make sound financial decisions.  Perhaps best of all, you will be eligible for the complimentary consultation offered to all workshop participants.
