Main Program [PowerPoint Link]
Erin LaGrassa recently attended a financial management/cost accounting class put on by MCC.  She shared the knowledge she gained with our group today.  Members brought in their income statement, balance sheet and calculator for hands-on learning.  The topic sparked a great deal of input and possibly a subgroup to be created to review individual member's financials in an effort to help each other improve and succeed
