Pay Your Children, Not the Government!

An insightful, in-person, interactive seminar featuring three local experts in finance and accounting on Saturday, January 17.

The Take Charge Foundation will host "Pay Your Children, Not the Government!," an insightful in-person seminar for parents, grandparents and adult children on Saturday, January 17 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Apostolic Fellowship Church of Jesus Christ located at 1153 Blue Hills Avenue. Dress is casual. Registration is $50 per person including a light breakfast from 9 to 9:30 a.m. For groups of three or more, the registration fee drops to just $20 per person. Participants will pay at the door by cash or check.

"Pay Your Children, Not the Government!" will share practical ways to leave money to relatives that do not require anyone to pay unnecessary taxes on what they give or receive. Participants will be able to use this information to avoid unintentionally paying taxes and pay only what they have to pay. The seminar will be facilitated by Elvin Turner, JD, MBA, President and CEO of the Take Charge Foundation. Presentations will be made by two Take Charge Foundation Board members, Kevin Baldwin, CLU, ChFC, CAP of Amston and Brenden Healy, CPA from Colchester.
