ARE YOU MONEY SMART?We all like to think we are ‘money smart’, but knowing how to spend money, save money, and borrow money isn’t always that easy. That’s why financial partners, including not-for-profits, schools, libraries, financial institutions, and others are uniting again this year to put on a week of financial education classes and fun family events geared to make each of us more ‘money smart’.

This year’s Money Smart Week will be held across the country the week of April 22nd through April 29th. More than 100 free classes, seminars, and kids’ activities covering topics such as budgeting, managing your credit, protecting yourself from identity theft, and planning for retirement will be held locally as part of a program that will offer thousands of classes across the nation.

This year there are two special kick-off events on Saturday, April 22nd we would like to highlight. The Money Smart Kid Zoo Safari, a fun event for kids with games and prizes, will be from 9 am to noon at the St. Louis Zoo’s Living World. The Empowerment Fair, a music, arts and financial empowerment festival, will take place the same day from 10 am to 8 pm at Crown Square in Old North St. Louis. There will be fun, games, music, speakers and free classes for all ages. Please see inside for more details.

Other exciting events include:

• Storytimeforyoungchildrenatlibrarieslocatedthoughouttheregion

• BacktoWorkJobFaironApril25th

• TimMaurer,authorof“SimpleMoney”atSt.LouisandSt.CharlesCountyLibraries

• EntrepreneurshipPanelDiscussiononApril26th
