The event is being held from 9 am-2 pm Saturday, March 17, 2012. 

The event will take place Saturday, March 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We know that many in our community are up against pressing financial challenges right now, and we also know that some could get ahead by making a few simple changes in how they handle their money,” said Concerned Black Clergy president Rev. Frank Brown. “This workshop, in collaboration with Wells Fargo, will provide valuable information for both groups.”

The first 20 adults who register and complete the course will receive a $25 gift certificate.

“Time and again we hear members of our community ask what steps they should take if they want to avoid a foreclosure on their home or to get ready to one day own a home. We also hear of needs to learn about the basics of credit and how to build a budget or save for the future.  We’ve taken all this and more and come up with this seminar,” said Rev. Michael Wright, executive director of the Concerned Black Clergy. 

In addition to mortgage and banking professionals from , counselors from CredAbility, the Atlanta-based non-profit credit counseling agency, will be on hand.
