Monthly Give-A-Ways for Savers

ColoradoSaves awards Harriet Perrin, from the Montbello community, a gift certificate for one full-year of free consultation from a Certified Financial Planner™ Professional. Four hundred residents embarked on a fun filled day at Rachel B. Noel Middle School, on October 6, 2007 for Montbello and Green Valley Ranch’s Second Annual Community Health & Information Expo. Sam Adams, Denver’s own local comedian, and Councilman Michael Hancock were among the 400 residents who attended. Health screenings, healthy cooking demonstrations, information about foreclosure prevention, credit, and free financial planning sessions were just some of the activities available. Harriet looks forward to support from ColoradoSaves, and she hopes to own a home someday.
