Income Generation checkbook-pen.jpg
Workshop    
Saturday, May 1 6
10:00 am - 12:00 pm

  

Participants learn how to manage  

their money by preparing a personal  

spending plan and identifying ways  

to decrease spending and increase  

income. Finding the extra fifty, thirty or  

even twenty dollars in your budget can  

be trying, especially after you have  

created a very tight budget. What  

do you do? Find a part time job?  

Maybe seek a higher paying job? 

  

Often times, when faced with financial
difficulties, we overlook creative ways
to increase our income. Do you have
a skill, hobby or talent that can bring
extra dollars into your home? Learn
more about public resources available
to you that can help in the short term.
