First Security Bank will sponsor a Community Financial Fair: 5 Financial Lessons from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Tuesday, Jan 15 in the Trust Building of First Security Bank. The meeting will start at 5:30 p.m.

Providing refreshments is the Oxford Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

There are no fees to the fair and the entire community is invited.

Presenters will be Kerry Temple, branch president of First Security Bank in Robinsonville; Will Fleming on credit counseling; Thad Campbell – North Mississippi Legal Services on wills/estate planning; Amy Smith for investment/savings; Susan Neal, checking accounts/loans; and Barbara Bonnell, home loans.

The lessons are:

1) Don’t wait for economic change, create it;

2) Financial freedom is worth fighting for;

3) Sometimes you need to step out on faith and take a risk;

4) Your education, job or career status doesn’t define you; and

5) Take your work seriously.

Belinda Morris is the organizer through the community development program at First Security Bank.
