KITCHEN INVITES PUBLIC TO ‘IMPROVING YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE’ SEMINAR

            PHILADELPHIA, September 15 — State Sen. Shirley Kitchen and City Councilman William Greenlee invite the community to attend a free upcoming “Improving Your Financial Life” seminar.

            The event takes place on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Temple University Health System Corporate Headquarters, 2450 W. Hunting Park Ave.

            “This is an opportunity for individuals of all backgrounds, regardless of their current financial state, to get informed about being financially responsible,” Kitchen said. “Just because our economy is unstable, doesn’t mean families can’t take simple steps to take charge of their finances. I welcome everyone in the community to attend this informative seminar.”

            Participants will learn about the benefits of maintaining good credit and receive useful information on judgments, bankruptcy, lending, credit scores, savings, investments, avoiding predatory lending, mortgages, becoming a first-time homebuyer, and more from industry professionals and city and state agencies.

            Coleen Peters, the business development officer for the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, will be the guest speaker. Consumer Advocate and Attorney Robert P. Cocco will conduct an in-depth lecture on illegal practices in debt collection and predatory lending, and what you can do to protect yourself.

            “Particularly in these difficult economic times, it is important that we as elected officials provide as much assistance and direction as possible to our constituents,” Greenlee said.

            For more information, contact Sen. Kitchen’s district office at 215-227-6161.
