Blue Collar Dollar Days 
coming to Greenville County

     GREENVILLE -- Because personal money management shouldn't be a
sink or swim situation, Clemson University's Extension Service is
offering a series of financial management classes in Greenville County.
There is not charge.
     Entitled "Blue Collar Dollar Days", the five seminars will be
offered each Wednesday during March.
     The classes will help the participants develop the tools to swim
through life financially. The topics of the classes are:

      *  March 3    Money Traps That Keep You Broke
      *  March 10   21 Ways to Keep More Cash
      *  March 17   Credit Cards:  Benefits and Pitfalls
      *  March 24   Good Credit, Bad Credit, No Credit
      *  March 31   You and Your Money:  A Recipe for Success
  
     Classes are located at Greenville County Square, Conference Room
E, 301 University Ridge, from 10 a.m. to noon. An additional class may
be offered from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. once the morning class is filled.
     Seating is limited. Registration is required by calling the
Greenville County Extension Service at (864) 232-4431. Door prizes will
be given away at the conclusion of each session.
