Our featured presentation was “Outsmart the Scammers” by Amy Bennett, CFP®, Edward Jones| Financial Advisor. It highlighted a few of the many sophisticated scams that affect chamber members and their families. After a thorough discussion of the specific scams presented, the Q & A session resulted in a lively conversation about other scams being perpetrated widely.
Please plan to join us for our last luncheon meeting of 2024 on Friday, November 15th, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm at the Morgan County Administration Building at 180 S. Main St.
