I am excited to announce that Single Mothers Outreach parent Lori O’Brien will be a guest speaker at this Saturday’s Women’s Conference at College of the Canyons. Her topic: financial empowerment.
She writes, “I have lived in SCV for 15 yrs and I’ve been a single mom for 10 of those years. Every one of us has at one time or another been so worried and anxious about our financial situations that we’ve lost sleep, experienced physical symptoms such as digestive issues, random aches and pains, etc., that anxiety over financial matters creates, and it robs us of the joy of living and time with our children.”
Lori is a graduate of Single Mothers Outreach’s successful financial literacy program. Nationally syndicated radio/TV talk show host, Dave Ramsey teaches the program on DVD and small group discussion follows. If participants work the program, they will see positive financial results. In taking the class in the Fall 2010, she has paid off $4000 in debt and has put $1000 in an emergency fund, which gives her some peace while she is paying off debt.
“With implementing some of the principles and methods I’ve learned, I’ve learned how to stand on my own two feet and provide for my family.” Lori remarked.
Lori will be sharing highlights of the program and taking sign ups for those interested in going through the program this Saturday, March 17, 2012 at the College of the Canyons Women’s Conference. Tickets are $15.00 and can be purchased here.
