Seminars
The seminars usually take place at The Cubby Bear located directly across from Wrigley Field.
Seminars we have had in the past include "How to buy your first home or condo", "How to buy a multi-unit building" and "How and where to save your money." We are always looking for more seminar topics.
Volunteers are needed to find people that want to instruct a free seminar about a subject that is desirable for our ND alums. This is not a sales pitch. The instructor is there to inform the attendees about the subject matter and as a bonus can offer their services if desired by the attendees.
