[CircleUp] Two PBS Specials - Wednesday, September 9, 2009

[Adrianne Brave Heart]

Tomorrow most PBS stations will air two new specials that address
financial literacy issues.

 

First, Sesame Workshop will present "Families Stand Together: Feeling
Secure in Tough Times," a program designed to help families with young
children communicate during time of economic insecurity.  The program is
hosted by Al Roker, Deborah Roberts, and Elmo; featuring our friend Jean
Chatzky.

"Families Stand Together" will be followed by "Your Life, Your Money"
produced by Jump$tart national partner, WNED Buffalo/Toronto, and hosted
by Donald Faison, star of "Scrubs."  Your Life, Your Money is aimed at
young adults who want to get their financial lives on track.  It
features a number of financial experts, including our friends Michelle
Singletary  (of Wisconsin)  and Beth Kobliner.

Each of these websites will offer ongoing financial education resources.

Thanks everyone.  Hope you enjoy the programs.
