1. What's new at the Bureau

On January 28, we completed the third showcase event at the Clark
library. All three events were successful. The attendees have told us
they enjoyed the educational seminars and found the information of great
value.

We added the “Community Calendar for Events Anywhere in the U.S.A.” at
the bureau’s web site. This calendar feature is a free service offered
to the community to help spread the message about various educational
events available to the general public at no charge. Here is the URL:

credit restoration, identity theft, real estate, empowerment,
communications skills, and financial literacy. You can see her speaker

3. Story on the lighter side: Hodja is Relieved

One day two men came running to Hodja's house.

"What's the matter?" asked Hodja.

"A man resembling you was knocked down by a cart in the market," they said.

"We thought it was you and came to inform your wife."

"Was he of my height?" asked Hodja.

"Yes," said the men.

"Did he have a beard like me?"

"Yes!"

"What was the color of his shirt?"

"Pink."

"Pink!" shouted Hodja, in relief.

"Then it was not me. I don't have a pink shirt."
