Text Box: Coming in January 2008 Managing Finances —— Sunday School Class Mary Barnes will be leading a Sunday School Class on Managing Finances in January. The start date is projected as January 13th, and will be approximately 9-12 weeks long. At 16 years old, Mary was at the bank with her mother, when the bank’s President asked her how old she was. When she replied, 16 years old, the President told her that he had promised her father that he’d offer her a job when she turned 16. She started work there on Monday morning. Mary’s original goal was to be a school teacher; however, the teaching market was saturated at the time. She worked her way through college and has been successful in the banking industry for 45 years. She is the Vice President for US Bank and the District Manager for the West Cleveland Area in-stores (Giant Eagle, Meyer and Super K-Mart in Amherst). Mary looks forward to seeing you in the Financial Sunday School Class in January. Look for more information in the Voice and Sunday worship bulletins as we approach January 2008.
