Yes, Obama said what we all already knew: There’s little doubt we’re in a recession. A really big one. Well that’s just great! So… now what? You prepared for one? Well, next Saturday (2/21) from 9:30am-3pm the Community Empowerment Expo will be at the First AME Zion Church (54 MacDonough St at Tompkins Ave) in Bed-Stuy throwing a free event where you can speak 1-on-1 with professionals and learn more on managing your debt and finances, avoid foreclosure, improve your credit and savings, and reduce your energy use. David Ushery, Co-Anchor of News 4 New York, will be a featured guest and refreshments on hand. Everyone loves refreshments.
