*Planning for your Child's College Education -- Tuesday, August 5, 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. 

It has never been more important to map a strategy to ensure that your child is able to attend college!  This program is for parents of young children.  Joseph Orselini, a Certified College Planning Specialist (CCPS), will explain what college costs today, where it may be headed in the future, and why it is important to start saving now. He will also show the various ways to save for college including 529 plans, Coverdell education savings accounts and US savings bonds. We will also discuss the role of financial aid and how your savings choices can impact your child's eligibility for aid.
