Community Event
Alternatives to College Fair is open to all on March 9 By Shayna Abraham, Resident since 2018

fter working with teens and young adult clients for over a decade as a consultant at Prepare to Bloom Consulting, LLC, I saw that many of my clients were struggling to find a path that fit their unique post high school needs. Many of these teens needed to know that there were options outside of the traditional two and four year college path most commonly thought of. As a result I partnered with local schools (Fusion Academy and Holden High School) to create a community event called the Alt Fair. The Alt Fair was born from an understanding that not all students fit in the same educational box. With the growing number of alternative schools and learning environments comes the need for a platform providing options for alternative post high school education as well. The Alt Fair provides students and families a place to explore both local and national options such as trade schools, gap year programs, young adult transitional programs, college support programs and more. 2019 marks the fifth year for this event in Walnut Creek! Due to the popularity of the fair, we have expanded it to a second location in Marin. This year, Prepare to Bloom, Fusion Academy, JET Consulting and Holden High School are happy to host this
free community wide event. The Walnut Creek event is March 9th in the Oak View Room at the Walnut Creek Public Library from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. The Marin fair will take place on March 10th at the Mill Valley Community Center Cascade Room from 1:30-3:00pm. We hope that families come away from these events excited about the variety of options out there. For any questions, contact Shayna Abraham @ shayna@preparetobloom.com or 650-888-4575.
Get Cash From Your Home FOUR OPTIONS TO UTILIZING UNTAPPED EQUITY. CONSOLIDATE YOUR DEBT
LOWER PAYMENT
CASH OUT
KEEP PAYMENTS FROM RISING
If you want to get out from under high interest rate charges from credit cards, student loans, or other forms of debt, then a cash-out refinance might be the solution for you.
A great way to save money on your home loan is to refinance for a lower interest rate. Just a small drop in interest rate can lower your mortgage payment significantly.
Refinancing your home to take advantage of its equity can be a great way to get the funds you need for home improvements, retirement, vacations and more.
Do you plan to stay in your home for an extended period? If so, then refinancing to a fixed-rate mortgage is a great way to keep your payment from rising.
