Budgeting 101
Thursday, June 17 | 6:30-7:30pm | Zoom

“Where did all my money go?” If you find yourself asking that question at the end of every month or in the days before your next paycheck, it’s time to get your budget in shape. Don’t have a budget? No problem! It’s easy to get started. Once you’ve got the hang of it, your finances should be easier to manage and you’ll have a better chance of achieving your short- and long-term goals, including saving money and paying off debt. This presentation will be led by an experienced CPA.

Owl Book Group
Friday, June 25 | 10:30am-12pm | Zoom

Join us this month to discuss The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson, a portrait of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz. On Winston Churchill's first day as prime minister, Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. For the next twelve months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons. It was up to Churchill to hold the country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally - and willing to fight to the end.
