Silver
"Living on a Shoestring Budget" book and workshops by
Dorothy Silver.
"There’s nothing poor but your salary," is
Dorothy’s motto. "It’s not how much you make; it’s how
you use what you have."
Dorothy Silver will be well known to many of you. She has had
many significant experiences in her life as a wife, a mother, a
daughter, an aunt, a sister, a grandmother and a friend. Her life
took a turn in 1987 when she discovered Laubach Literacy, the one-on-one,
confidential, volunteer, tutoring that finally taught her to read
after a struggle of 47 years. From this point she began a new journey
that has taken her to every corner of Canada, from sea to sea to
sea, as a literacy student and as Canada's foremost learner ambassador.
As a volunteer for local, provincial and now the national association,
Laubach Literacy of Canada, Dorothy wrote this book as her gift
to learners. Modeled from her workshop, "Living
on a Shoestring Budget", this
book outlines ways to change a lifestyle of spending, to one of spending
less while having more. Dorothy knows better than anyone that being
unable to read
limits your chances of earning a good income.
 Dorothy's workshop includes:
- How to start saving money today!
- How to do a home budget.
- Great recipes and cooking ideas that
can save you money.
- Cheap ways to entertain.
- Cleaning tips
- And more!
Workshop fees:
- $200 for a half-day workshop plus expenses.
