Greetings, I want to encourage you to attend Financial Planning Day, this Saturday, October 13, 2012 from 10 to 2:00 at Garfield Community Center. It’s a free event where you’ll be able to meet one-on-one with professional financial planners to discuss your personal finance questions, concerns and interests.

Financial planners will also be there to help with planning for retirement, college, emergencies, estates, as well as investment management and insurance.
