<p>April 23, 8 p.m. at First Church</p>
<p></p>
Town Hall for Hope is your opportunity to sit down with people in your community for a nationwide town hall meeting led by Dave Ramsey. Thousands of venues across the country will host the event, broadcasting Dave's live presentation. In the opening half hour, Dave will offer straight talk about the economy, recession, foreclosures and more. He'll carefully explain where we've come from, where we are now, and what we should be doing with our money during this time. Then, Dave will spend an hour answering your questions live!<br />
<br />
<p>We'll take questions by phone, email, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and more! Check out the <a href="http://www.townhallforhope.com/index.cfm?event=displayGetInvolved" target="_blank">Get Involved</a> page to see all the ways in which you can join in the conversation! And remember, this is a free event!</p>
