The Financial Equation - Parts 1 & 2

On October 26, 2007 REF sponsored an evening "SMART" Conversation with Murry Christensen and Robert Moran on the topic "Everything's Alive".
It was taped at the Redding Community Center beginning at 7:30 pm.

This evening benefitted our SMARTboard Campaign for Joel Barlow High School as well as our continued Grant Programs. The cost was $25 for singles, $40 for couples...and students came in for FREE.

Whether you are interested in the next hot stock, educational implications for your children or yourself...or because these developments WILL effect your life sooner rather than later...this event was not to be missed.

We hope you enjoed viewing the show as much as we enjoyed putting it together. The latest video installments talk about the financial aspects of education and how organizations are dealing with how to best invest in education in both the public and private sector. Steve Smith joined Murry and Bob to give added insight into this very important topic.

Click on the You Tube logo to see the 10 part Everything's Alive talk/
DVD to follow.

In the coming weeks, the entire conversation will be aired on Redding 79.
Don't miss it as it contains some pretty interesting takes on education, technology and what it all means as we move further into the 21st Century.

President
