      Studies have shown that earning a college degree can result in more than a million dollars more earnings over a lifetime than not earning a college degree. But with top schools costing $50,000 a year or more, how can anyone afford to go?

      Robert Lo Re knows what it is like to budget for your child’s future as well as your own.  In this session you will learn about real world strategies to pay for what could be you and your child’s greatest investment, including scholarships, loans, 529 plans, and more.

      If a college is in the future for your child, do not miss this event!

      This event is open to the public, but registration is required.  Call the library at (508) 336-8230 or visit www.seekonkpl.org to register.

Reconstructure, (all woman-owned Providence interior design firm) Sojourner House (RI’s leading advocate and resource for victims of domestic abuse) and our local art community join their aesthetic and ethical sensibilities to help women and children in transition rebuild a notion of home that is positive, personal and inspiring. One of the easiest and most accessible ways to modify and personalize one’s environment is through the incorporation of artwork in everyday life.

The evening’s festivities include refreshments from local vendors, music and an opportunity to meet and hang with members of the community. Join us in this effort to inspire through art. In support of victims of domestic violence, this event will be held in October, the nationally recognized Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
