Financial Session

This afternoon the Gabfest Club had a guest from the US Embassy in Kyiv - Ms. Elisabeth Horst is a Deputy Economic Councilor.
She was asked to talk to the club members about the ways to save money - the financial topic that might be interesting for all club members. Ms. Horst told us many facts and figures about the ways of saving money that exists in the USA. We compared credit card culture in the US and Ukraine   and talked about the good and bad things about plastic money.
The club members were very active and asked many questions. We were lucky to have other American guests in the audience – loyal club friends Mr. Joseph and Mr. Keith.

The atmosphere was enhanced by the presence of the FLEX exchange program participants - Dasha and Nastia who also took an active part in the conversation. Our guest was delighted to see the motivated and interested audience.
The club members shared their thoughts with Ms. Horst after the session and the Club’s chairman Jeff presented a book about Ukraine to her.
The session with the Embassy economists turned out very lively, educational and was enjoyed by all the participants.
Number of participants 22 persons.
