Wilmington City Council’s Economic Development Committee to Offer Financial Literacy/Money Management Presentations - Information about managing your money will be presented by the Delaware Financial Literacy Institute on January 13 and February 10; Citizens can attend the meetings or view the presentations live or on replay on WITN-TV, Channel 22
The interim Chairperson of Wilmington City Council’s Economic Development Committee, Third District Council Member Darius Brown who champions an initiative entitled Money Matters, announced today that the Council’s Economic Development Committee will hold noontime meetings this month and next to promote financial literacy and present better ways to manage your money.
Brown said the noontime committee meetings, featuring presentations by the Delaware Financial Literacy Institute’s (DFLI) The Money School, will be held on Wednesday, January 13 and Wednesday, February 10 in the City Council Chambers on the first floor of the Redding City County Building at 800 North French Street in Wilmington. Brown encourages citizens to attend the sessions in-person, or to watch them live or on replay on WITN Channel 22, the Council’s government television station on the Comcast Network.
“All of us can use some pointers about how to better manage our checking and savings accounts or how to open these types of accounts, and how to improve our overall money management,” said Brown. The Council Member has promoted his Money Matters program for several years to remind constituents that they have to take control of their own finances, manage their money properly and hopefully help to secure their financial future.
The Money School offers FREE financial education classes and financial literacy resources to Delawareans throughout the year. Participants gain a better understanding of the consumer marketplace and the current economic environment while learning skills to take charge of their financial situations, plan for the future and avoid financial pitfalls. Classes include managing money, getting out of debt, improving credit, retirement planning, investing, small business development and more.
