Hosting Educational Events
Financial Literacy Classes
For the last 38 years, CCCS has been the premier source of financial education in our community. Our Financial Literacy program provides practical and relevant seminars for all types of groups. We can plan a presentation for you from the list of menu options available or create a custom presentation for you. All presentations are presented in PowerPoint format and have handouts to accompany the slide show. Call today and we will come to your site during a lunch hour or other time that works for your group.
