ASA Presents “Create A Money Mission Statement” Free Public Seminar on Thurs., Aug. 20, at 6 p.m.

Asheville, NC – Join Reeta Wolfsohn, CMSW, founder of the Center for Financial Social Work, at 6 p.m., Thurs., August 20, 2009, to learn the secret to aligning your spending with your hopes, dreams and wishes. “Money is the number one stressor in people’s lives,” said Reeta. “It is also the number one cause of divorce.”

This free seminar is part of the Financial Wellness Forum, a public outreach program of the Asheville Strategic Alliance (ASA). The Alliance is a group of community-minded professionals who help individuals and business-owners increase their financial IQ.

The public is invited to attend Reeta’s hour-long, no-obligation, free seminar, entitled “Create A Money Mission Statement,” as part of the Forum’s “Take Charge of Your Money, Life & Future” series on Thurs., Aug. 20, 2009, 6 to 7 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session.

“This program enables every man and woman to take control of his or her money to gain control of his or her life,” said Reeta Wolfsohn. “It makes certain that you ask yourself whether or not a particular expenditure supports your money mission statement.”

ASA is located at 149 South Lexington Avenue within the Lexington Station complex in downtown Asheville. ASA is conveniently located one block from The Orange Peel and around the corner from Handmade in America and Mountain Bizworks. Metered street parking is available with free parking after 6 p.m. All are welcomed to attend.

Reeta Wolfsohn has been a keynote speaker at numerous national and state conferences. CNN Money, Associated Press, and National Public Radio have interviewed her because of her unique approach to helping people change their personal financial behavior.
