In our continued effort to promote the public’s awareness of the value of financial planning and raise the profile of the FPA Illinois and its members, we are excited at our first ever partnership with the Federal Reserve of Chicago to promote their "Money Smart Week" that runs April 30th-May 5th. The Illinois FPA has outlined three high profile events for our members to participate in. The events and our need for volunteers are described below:
1. Monday, April 30th 12pm - 2pm. 50 volunteers needed. We have invited nationally known financial speaker Terry Savage to give a rare public retirement planning presentation from 12:00-1:00pm in the Harold Washington Library’s auditorium. The 50 volunteers will provide two 30 minute financial planning consultations immediately following Ms. Savage's presentation. This high profile event will be promoted and covered by the Chicago Sun-Times and attended by FPA National Executive Director Marv Tuttle in addition to other media outlets and elected officials. Harold Washington Library is located at 400 South State Street, Chicago, Illinois 60605.
2. Tuesday, May 1, 9am - 7pm. 10 volunteers needed, 5 two-hour shifts. Volunteers will answer financial planning questions during the College’s Money Smart Day. 10-11 volunteers doing 2 hour shifts to man our FPA booth. Additionally one of the volunteers will need to present a budgeting workshop from 2:00-3:00 pm. Harold Washington College is located at 30 East Lake Street, Chicago, Illinois 60601
All volunteers must sign a pro-bono volunteer form. Please email Dee Farris at dee.farris@fpaillinois.org with your interest.
3. Wednesday, May 2, 8am - 1pm. Up to 21 volunteers needed. Following up on our past success with Junior Achievement, we need volunteers to teach Jr. Achievement programs from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm to kindergarten through 6th grade classes at Morton Career Academy, located at 431 N. Troy Street, Chicago, Illinois. Please contact Dorothy Bossung at dbossung@iowealth.com with your interest.
