Day of personal financial advice

What will it take to get access to any number of financial experts who can answer questions on topics ranging from credit scores and identity theft to constructing a diversified investment portfolio?
 
$40 and a trip into Manhattan this Saturday for the Financial Planning Association of New York’s Eighth Annual Financial Fitness Workshop. 

The day-long event features:

-- A panel of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine editors, talking on the latest trends;

-- Keynote speech by Russel Kinnel, director of Mutual Fund Research for Morningstar, Inc.

-- Four sets of sessions on topics for those with varying levels of expertise: For beginners there’s “How to Select a Financial Planner.” For those who are more advanced, “Your Retirement Portfolio – Lessons from the Turmoil.”

In just one day “you can be exposed to just about every aspect of the financial planning process,” says Ron Palastro, a financial planner in Bensonhurst, who is co-director of the workshop.
 
Net proceeds from the event go to Project Renewal, an organization that helps homeless men and women in New York City.
