Karen Jenkins to hold book signings at Fort Jackson

Author and financial empowerment coach Karen R. Jenkins will hold book-signing events on Thursday, February 3rd and Friday, February 4th at Fort Jackson.  The events will take place at the Main Post (PX).  The events are scheduled from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm each day.

Jenkins released her first book, "Nobody Told Me! The Path to Financial Empowerment," in 2010.  She is an experienced banker, financial coach and the mother of two teenagers.  Her tips are smart, savvy and super timely as people everywhere work to weather the down economy.  "Everyone needs to know how to navigate the money maze to reach financial freedom," said Jenkins.  "My mission is to make the rules well known and easy to understand."

With the tax season now in progress, this is a good time to focus on personal financial health and planning for the future.  Jenkins will teach participants the best ways to avoid pitfalls that often leave people financially fatigued and unable to achieve their goals.

Participants will have the opportunity to purchase “Nobody Told Me!” and have it autographed following the workshop session.
