Thanks to Kona and March program

A very special thanks to Kona Goulet for her wonderful talk to kickoff our "Faith and Finance" series. It made us think about: does the way we spend our money reflect our higher values? I'd recommend tracking your spending (to the penny) for one week and you'll be surprised where the money goes. Give it a try.

We look forward to seeing everyone on March 27th at 7pm for the 2nd talk of our "Faith and Finance" series.

"Economic Turmoil and Financial Abundance"

Andrew Wang, Senior Vice President at Runnymede Capital Management, addresses the importance of financial health in one's pursuit of physical, mental and spiritual well being. Drawing from personal and professional experience, Andrew discusses the subject of money from a Christian perspective as it relates to materialism, giving, prosperity and success. Amidst the back drop of a contracting economy, global banking crisis, and corporate malfeasance, Andrew shares the foundation of his financial ministry and how Christian views on money apply to the current economic turmoil.

Andrew is a Senior Vice President and an Equity Portfolio Manager at Runnymede Capital Management, a registered investment adviser that serves individuals and institutional clients. Runnymede Capital Management was recently nominated as investment "Manager of the Year" for 2008 by the editors of Financial Investment News. In 1996, Runnymede coined the term "Financial Hurricanes." In the face of major downturns, Andrew believes that you must take defensive positioning which has benefits in terms of financial and emotional health. Andrew holds a B.A. in International Studies with honors from Trinity College.
