CLEARWATER, Fla., July 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When Ms. Esther Fife attended a monthly networking reception at the Scientology Information Center last week, she found something that she wasn’t expecting. Being with the 25 like-minded businessmen and women from Clearwater, St. Pete and Tampa she found attendees from diverse backgrounds: wealth management; alternative transportation; marketing; printing; human resources; and non-profit organizations. The one thing many had in common was a need to learn better financial management skills and increase their financial literacy - something that is right up Ms. Fife’s alley.
