Looks like a good program and it should be quite worthwhile for those who attend.
I thinks these kinds of programs are so vitally important for folks. I hope they are well attended. I know from other experiences, not enough people take advantage of these. Hope you have a great weekend.

The best part is you don't have to go there it's online by tuning in to Life Literacy Live on Tuesday, November 1 from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m.
What a great idea Kathy, it's never too early to teach kids the proper way of handling their money.
Malcolm - and the value [it does not grow n trees]
Hi Kathy, I can hear my teenagers now: "What do you mean Daddybank?" Kidding asside this is an important subject for everyone.
Evan - when Daddy Bank ceases to hand out free money they will know in a big hurry (what do you mean we have to earn our allowance)
