LEWISTON – Registration is taking place for Northeast Bank’s Money Matters Financial Series, offered through Lewiston’s Adult Education Program at Lewiston High School.

President and CEO Jim Delamater will kick off the series on Wednesday, Sept. 13, with a session titled “Financial Planning: A Must for Everyone,” where he explains the importance of developing a financial plan, the steps to choosing an adviser and the pitfalls to avoid when working with a planner.

“Many people don’t think they can speak with a planner until they are wealthy, but I always get the question, ‘How do I accumulate wealth?’ This course is designed for those starting out or for those who are veterans and looking for a change,” said Delamater.
