Box lunch at 1 PM, followed by choice of two classes:
Avoiding the Funeral Trap
Using humor and stories, Ken Lambert, Advisor/Negotiator, increases everyone's awareness of how the funeral and cemetery industries operate. When you are purchasing a funeral for your loved one, the industry's goal is to get you to spend the most money possible without going into default. The industry uses a variety of emotional sales tactics and other methods to get you to comply with their desires. It is a contest of wills between a skilled professional and your family when you are emotionally ill-equipped to do battle. The information you learn will save your family thousands of dollars and keep you from making mistakes regrettable for a life-time.
Upcycling and Repurposing
Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. Put your creative skills to use and spare the landfills in giving new life to household items, furniture, clothing, and more. Taught by Kelli Bogardus and Allison Wischmeier.
Couponing 101
One of the most common couponing myths is that you can't really save money using coupons - Melissa white has been feeding her family of four on $40 per week for the past two years now, thanks to the things she's learned about couponing!
