Financial Coaching update - August 29, 2011

Good afternoon Financial Coaches,

First, I would like give a big WELCOME to all our newest Financial Coaches who completed training this month!  We appreciate you joining our team!

As you can see in the Events section, we have a busy month ahead - that is, after taking a break for Labor Day!

EVENTS FOR CLIENTS
Please share the following information with clients who you think might be interested.  Those clients who provided an email address got this information by email.  See details by following the links in the Events section.

  • Money Management.  These classes are open to all Financial Coaching clients who would like to learn about credit, debt and saving in a classroom setting. 
  • Scholarship Workshops. The workshops will focus on finding and writing essays for scholarship applications.  

EVENTS FOR COACHES
See details by following the links in the Events section.
  • Community Tax Center Volunteer Kick off Lunch - Join us for lunch if you or someone you know would like to learn more about becoming a volunteer for the Community Tax Center.
  • Continuing Education Workshops for Coaches - In September, we will have a presentation about finding resources on 2-1-1.
OTHER INFORMATION
  • Debt in Focus - Try out this great tool for creating debt repayment plan.  It's completely anonymous and all you do is plug in your numbers and it does the math.  The functionality is similar to PowerPay, but with nicer presentation of the results (think colors and graphs!).  Check it out and share with clients!
  • The Austin City Council is creating an ordinance to place restrictions on Payday Lenders.  Read about the restrictions in the KXAN report.
Thanks everyone, have a great week!

Erika Leos
Financial Coaching Coordinator
