Good morning Aurora! It's Wednesday morning and we have a topic of discussion and a story to tell this morning. Ask yourself, do you remember when cell phones did NOT have cameras? Have you ever had moments which you could remember, but there are no pictures or images of the moments? Or maybe the people? Today we'll talk about that interesting time when we all had cellphones, but they did not have cameras. Let's talk it out. Here's the news:

- Wednesday, August 16th from noon to 1 pm the City of Aurora’s P.O.W.E.R. resource group and the Aurora Financial Empowerment Center will be hosting a budgeting workshop. This event is free, open to the public and will inform & educate participants about how to budget and overall financial health. This will be held at 77 S. Broadway in the lower level. See you there!

- Tuesday, August 15th there will be an awesome event taking place at the Aurora Public library, downtown Santori branch. Do you understand the importance of credit? Our friends of The Aurora Financial Empowerment Center are hosting an event titled: Getting To Know Your Credit will be a helpful event for individuals and families. Topics of discussion will include how to improve your credit, some do’s and don'ts and much more! This event is free and open to the public and will take place from 7:15 to 8:15 pm!
