Hauppauge-based Teachers Federal Credit Union is offering a series of free business clinics starting Thursday.

The first event, "Secrets to Building Your Business on Long Island," will include a presentation by Susan Axelrod, founder of Love & Quiches Gourmet in Freeport, and a panel discussion with local CEOs.

"We are proud to host this event that will give the Long Island business community the chance to hear from experts on how to build a successful company," Robert G. Allen, president and CEO of TFCU, said in a news release.

The event runs from 7:45 to 9:30 a.m. at TFCU's headquarters, 102 Motor Pkwy. in Hauppauge. For more information or to register, go to tfcu4u.org or call 631-698-7000.
