WIW WI Meeting Minutes
For January 11th, 2018
Held at Paris Fairgrounds
WIW WI Meeting
Elaine Tully President: Quote from 1600 Proverbs; “Money, like manure, does no good until it is spread.”
Roll Call was, Share a tip on handling money/finances. Only buy what you can afford to pay for in cash when using a credit card. Think before buying. If you see something you want, wait on buying it and if it is still on your mind a few days later than purchase it.
WI Member & Secretary Denise Hoggard and Husband Dwayne talked about Financial Wellness.
55% of Women are playing a more significant role in household financial decisions. We want to see that number grow. Since history shows that women outlive their husbands, it’s time to be in the know and take control! Anyone wishing to hear more on this presentation feel free to contact Denise Hoggard at 519-802-2913 or email at [email protected].
