Money 101 Longmont

6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.

Copper Sky Distillery, 110 Emery St. Ste. C

**Dinner is included for those who RSVP**

We all go to school for 12 to 16 years to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic, but never learn anything about How Money Works! You are invited to our FREE workshop called "Money 101".

This is not a sales seminar, but an educational setting. Bring a notepad, grab some dinner, and hear EVP Ed Judd will present the fundamental principles of money. So you know what to expect: Let me tell you three things you won't ever see in our class. We NEVER have a sign-in sheet! We believe that our information is vital & valuable so we don't need to hunt you down, we like to work with volunteers.

We NEVER sell anything! We don't push any books, CDs, or self-help kits. We NEVER pressure appointments! When it's time to get up and leave, you just go. Learn how to grow and PROTECT your assets for college funding, retirement planning, or simply wealth accumulation – with money you never knew you had...

**This is a sponsored event and is not an open networking event.**
