"There is a tremendous need for this type of information," Treasurer Jenkins said. "The local experts who will be presenting will offer valuable and timely advice."

College students, recent graduates, their parents and grandparents will all find this seminar helpful and informative, Jenkins added. This seminar will help attendees organize their finances and set priorities.

"The topics for the seminar will focus on investment options, estate planning and tax tips," Treasurer Jenkins said. "But this is not a sales meeting nor will anyone try to sell any products to attendees. This seminar is about educating Kansans."

This free seminar will provide beneficial information to attendees from respected and experienced professionals. Each attendee will receive, at no charge, the book, "Yes You Can…Achieve Financial Independence" written by Jim Stowers who has been recognized by Forbes magazines as one of the wealthiest people in America. Attendees will have an opportunity to search the Kansas State Treasurer's Unclaimed Property database for their names and receive information on Kansas' 529-college education savings plan.

Individuals interested in attending should call Kay at 1-800-432-0386 or e-mail her at kay@treasurer.state.ks.us to reserve a space, as seating is limited.
