Facing foreclosure? Already in foreclosure? I am here to help YOU!
I’d like to introduce my latest project: “Sachs Brings H.O.P.E to YOU”! An all-day workshop designed to educate our community and college students about financial responsibility. I will be joining forces with the already established and well-oiled machine, the “H.O.P.E for Palm Beach County Taskforce”, which focuses on helping those residents of Palm Beach County who might or are facing the possibility of losing their home due to foreclosure. In addition, there will be on hand financial aid specialists, credit card counselors, and other experts who can and assist the students and explain recent changes, such as the Credit Card Bill of Rights. The event will also address the needs of not only the students but the greater community. As mentioned the H.O.P.E for Palm Beach Task Force will be on hand along with counselors and other elected and local dignitaries. Community residents seeking help with their mortgage should attend the 10:00AM-1:00PM workshop, whereas, students should come to the afternoon workshop, 2:00PM-5:00PM.
This event is FREE and will take place at the Boca Raton campus of Florida Atlantic University behind the Student Union on Thursday, October 1.
JOIN SACHS’ TEAM--Every year legislators travel to our state’s capital in Tallahassee and sponsor six bills. These are six opportunities to change the environment in which we live. So many of you are interested in various areas of our life. Be it education, healthcare, veterans affairs, or disaster preparedness now is your chance to have your voice heard and become part of the change we so desperately need in this state. Sign up now for one of my “Blue Ribbon Committees”. You can become part of the process by contacting my office by e-mail, fax or phone. I look forward to working with you.
On a more fun note, how would you like to volunteer at my above mentioned workshop? It is the ideal opportunity to give back to your community and be a part of our effort to help distressed homeowners keep their homes. If you are available on October 1 and would like to be an official member of “Teach Sachs”, please call me directly. I would love to have you on board!
