Looking for something to do tomorrow night? If so, look no further!!
Monarch Community Bank realizes that achieving lifelong financial success can sometimes seem like an overwhelming task.That is why the bank will be offering a free workshop, called Steps to Financial Freedom, for all of the community to take advantage of on Wednesday, March 10th.
“Because most Americans have not received formal education regarding their finances, it is difficult to pick up the pieces when a tragedy or financial crises strikes,” said Don Denney, President and CEO of Monarch Community Bank.“Through this free workshop, we help community members create a step-by-step plan to gain long-term control of their finances.”
Monarch Community Bank welcomes the community to join them on Wednesday, March 10th at 6:00 p.m. to learn the steps to financial freedom.The workshop will be held at the Willowbrook Branch at 375 N. Willowbrook Rd. in front of Gander Mountain.Topics discussed will include setting goals, communicating with family members, creating a budget, reducing debt, and building savings.For more information on the workshop or to make reservations to attend, please call (517) 278-4566.Refreshments will be available.
This is a post that was made from the Branch Area Food Pantry’s Facebook page. We love being a part of this community!
Dave McKinley from Monarch Community Bank was a member of the Feeding Branch County team. Monarch was involved in the “Greenbacks and Green Beans” challenge. Courtney Dirschell from Monarch recently helped us create our Facebook page. Courtney’s husband Brandon is part of M + K Heating and Plumbing. M + K is the company that stepped up to the plate and donated time, materials, and guidance when we turned the old Pool Hall into what is now our distribution building at 22 Pierson Street. Connections, connections, and more connections. Without great help like this, we could not do what we do…many thanks to everyone who donates time, funds, and food.
