This October, Money Talks made a powerful return, hosting two transformative events as part of The Winning Circle Series™. Facilitated by Winning Ways’ own Rosalee Daley, these sessions brought together community leaders, financial experts, and attendees eager to gain practical tools for financial success. Held in Waterbury and New London, these events highlighted the importance of financial literacy and empowered attendees to take control of their financial futures. Here’s a closer look at these impactful gatherings:
Empowering Waterbury: Money Management for Everyday Success
The first event took place in Waterbury at the CHD Hospitality Center, where participants were treated to an inspiring session featuring:
- Sasha Fay, Owner of Ovelle Coffee, who shared her entrepreneurial journey and insights into managing finances while running a successful business.
- Thomaston Savings Bank, whose experts delivered practical tips on money management, budgeting, and saving strategies.
Attendees gained actionable advice to make informed financial decisions, all within a supportive and interactive environment.
Spotlight on New London: Financial Literacy and Mindful Spending
Next, the series traveled to New London, offering a dynamic lineup of speakers and partners:
- Allen Perry, Owner of Alternative Education, shared valuable insights into financial literacy and the importance of intentional spending.
- Representatives from Dime Bank, Chelsea Groton Bank, and the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling addressed mindful financial habits, responsible financial planning, and resources for navigating challenges like gambling-related financial pitfalls.
This event provided a well-rounded approach to understanding personal finances, equipping attendees with tools to manage their money thoughtfully and sustainably.
The Power Behind the Series
These impactful events were made possible thanks to the generous support of the Connecticut Community Foundation and Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR). Their commitment to community empowerment underscores the significance of financial wellness as a cornerstone for broader personal and community growth.
Why Financial Literacy Matters
Financial literacy is more than just understanding numbers—it’s about building the confidence to make informed decisions, overcome challenges, and plan for the future. Events like these play a vital role in providing accessible knowledge and fostering a supportive community for financial growth.
Rosalee Daley, whose expertise and dedication brought these events to life, emphasized the importance of meeting people where they are in their financial journeys:
“Everyone deserves access to tools and resources that can help them build a brighter financial future. The Winning Circle Series™ is about empowering individuals to take that first step and beyond.”
