Local professionals volunteer to judge the competition.  Thank you to the following sponsors for making this event possible: Connexus Association, Edward Jones: Bob Ebben, KeySavings Bank, Mid-State Technical College, Valley Communities Credit Union and WoodTrust Bank.  The goal of the Financial Stability Coalition is: Community members learn skills to become financial independent.
