Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Pamela
Jolly will be leading a two-part conversation that is open to the public at
First Congregational Church in March on how to manage budgets faithfully.
Pam has worked in financial management and investment strategies for nearly two
decades. In 2005 her company, Torch, accepted a subcontract role with
FEMA. Thus, Pamela worked distributing federal appropriations to communities
and municipalities in the Southern Gulf Coast, and served as a team leader for
the writing of the strategic plan for rebuilding New Orleans. After
seeing the inequality in the rebuilding efforts, Pamela felt led to launch
OneTorch, a non-profit subsidiary of Torch which works with residents and grass
roots organizations on how to understand and overcome financial oppression. The
organization is following the Book of Ezra as a model to assist the return of
residents to rebuild the undeserved communities of New Orleans with ownership
and equity. Pam, a student at Boston University School of Theology, will
help participants look at their own strategies in these challenging
times to help them make the most of the resources they have. Participants
will also explore ways to use their resources to improve our community and
our world. Melding modern financial wisdom with ancient spiritual insight,
partakers will discover possibilities they didn’t know were within their
reach. The program will be held on Monday, March 2nd
and Monday, March 16th at 7:30 p.m. at the First Congregational
Church of Hanover, UCC. There is no fee for this program and refreshments
will be served. For more information, call the church office at
781-826-4762. For additional programs, visit their website at www.fcchanoverucc.org .
