With today’s economic climate, everyone is taking a closer look at their finances.  This fall a coalition of women, with the help from The Women’s Fund, Housing and Credit Counseling, Inc. (HCCI), and Washburn University, is hosting an eight session, low-cost educational series to demystify financial information.

The Women and Money Series will begin September 24^th and occur every Thursday evening until November 12^th.  Each session will be held at Washburn University and begin at 6:00 p.m. and end at approximately 8:30 p.m.  Participating women will receive information concerning a variety of financial topics.  Each evening a local expert will speak on a financial topic followed by an opportunity for women to discuss in small groups their personal experiences and questions. Topics will range from cash flow and credit to insurance and investing.  Participants will be given the tools they need to increase their confidence and take their finances to the next level.

In addition to the adult program, a kids program will run concurrently.  A limited number of slots are available for children through age 12.  Small children must be potty trained.  Trained providers will assist the children in money related activities and snacks will be provided.  

Women of all ages, income levels, and experiences are invited to attend this unique educational opportunity.  The fee for the eight night series is $35.  Scholarships, child care, and transportation are available on a limited basis.  Call 234-0217 or go to www.hcci-ks.org to register to attend.
