From The Your Money Bus Stop in Providence, RI!

NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisor Angela Thomson was gracious enough to represent the NAPFA Consumer Education Foundation at the bus stop in Providence, RI. The setting of the stop was top notch as the bus was located outside of Burnside Park next to Kennedy Plaza. Besides having the chance to help local residents, Angela was also featured with the bus my local media.


Here are some of Angela's thoughts on the tour stop:


I was at the Providence location and it was cold and drizzling. When I sat down to write it was mid-morning and we had a steady but light turn out. Many of the attendees had diversified concerned regarding budgeting, where they should put their money given the economic conditions, job loss, educational funding and credit card management.

They were all appreciative of the handouts and interested in Kiplinger’s magazine.

We had some great TV coverage from ABC – 6. They said the spot would air at noontime so, hopefully we will get a large turnout after that.

I think this is such a worthy project, I just wish it were warmer. New England weather is so unpredictable!

Regards,

Angela Thomson
