We already held our first workshop on Extreme Couponing on June 30th, and it was a big success! Fifteen residents joined us to learn the basics about strategies and resources to save money -- and taught each other by sharing their own experiences.  If you are interested in attending any of the workshops, contact us for more information and to register.  You won't want to miss them!
