Area residents who want to learn skills to help meet their financial goals for 2016 are invited to a two-week program hosted by Iowa Extension and Outreach, “Your Money, Your Future: Making Ends Meet.”

Sessions will meet Mondays, Feb. 29 and March 7, from 5:30 to 7 pm at the Greene County Early Learning Center, 204 W. Madison St in Jefferson.
A free, light meal and day care will be provided. The series is sponsored by Peoples Trust & Savings Bank and Home State Bank.
