Our speaker today was John DeLorey from College Planning Services. John educated the club on college financing and his services. He stated that the most important thing for parents is to plan and establish a budget. 59% of parents have no plan, 85% of families need help. There will be a demand for educated workers with the right degrees. John answered questions from the club.
