Queens, NY, December 28, 2009 – Save the date! If your New Year’s resolution is to get your personal finances under control during this recession, NYS Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., is pleased to bring an important free program to his constituents presented by CUNY’s award-winning entrepreneur, Joyce Moy, soon after 2010 arrives. Her financial lecture will be held at Christ Lutheran Hall, 85-15 101st Avenue, Ozone Park, NY, on Saturday, January 16, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Ms. Moy will cover two major topics dealing with personal finances, followed by a Q & A with the audience:

1) Managing Your Money - budgeting, savings, goal setting;

2) Credit - what is credit?; how to establish, build and repair credit; how to obtain and read your credit report; how to choose a credit report; avoiding identity theft and scams.

She has worked to develop programming which is responsive to immigrant, women and minority business owners and connects them to business and educational opportunities that enhance their economic well-being. She has spoken widely on issues concerning immigrant and minority communities.
