Free Financial Workshop "Financial Goal Setting"

Starting on January 20, 2022, a combination of public financial workshops and individual counseling will offer participants assistance in achieving their financial goals. The free monthly workshops will be offered the third Thursday of each month at Niccolls Memorial Presbyterian Church located at 228 Crosby Blvd, Old Forge, NY starting at 7:00 p.m. Workshops will last approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours. Topics will include, but are not limited to, budget management, debt management, improving credit reports and/or scores, financial goal setting, and developing savings and investment strategies. These topics will rotate each month and can address a variety of financial situations, ranging from hardship to more comprehensive financial planning. Counseling sessions are free and confidential, and they can assist individuals in developing plans and tracking progress.

This outreach program is a collaboration between LivingADK (formerly CAP-21), Niccolls Memorial Presbyterian Church, and Big Moose Community Chapel, utilizing a volunteer Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®) and Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®) who retired with over 29 years’ experience in the financial services industry. Participants are welcome to attend the workshops that interest them and/or sign up for individual counseling sessions. Sign-up for either of these services by contacting the Niccolls Church office at 315-369-3475.
