The spacious Campbell Center in Aldine was the venue for last week’s Financial Freedom Conference, presented by Andrew Watkins of the Watkins Group and the Pennsylvania Life Insurance Company.

Many hundreds of interested persons attended, to hear the speakers and learn about opportunities for financial progress and success in their careers and lives.

The conference was designed to bring the community and its businesses, groups, and organizations together and extend to each attendee information concerning increasing their income, reducing debt, expanding business opportunities, increasing awareness of community resources, and other ideas designed to impact the current status of participants.

In addition to the information booths and packets, the audience for the all-day event heard a number of motivational and business speakers. In addition to the speakers, the conference awarded Soaring Eagle Awards to key people in the community that “make a difference in areas such as ministry, education, community resources, employment, business creation and development.”

Watkins expects to repeat the conference again later in the year. For information, call 281-227-6847.
