Financial Freedom Fair
ALL TRIBAL MEMBERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND NEIGHBORS INVITED !!
In 2022, the Chehalis Tribe established an event designed to offer both Chehalis Tribal members and the wider community an engaging and enjoyable way to explore resources and tools for financial empowerment. We are excited to host this event once again and would like to invite you, as a valued partner of the Chehalis Tribe and its enterprises, to join us.
About the Event: The Financial Freedom Fair is designed to offer a dynamic platform for community members to explore valuable resources and tools that promote financial confidence and empowerment. Our goal is to provide attendees with educational, non-sales presentations and practical information that they can use to enhance their financial well-being.
