Final Media Pitch

An Opportunity for Financial Independence for Cache Valley Residents
Dear Emilie,

I wanted to share some information with you about Cache Valley Area Investors Association, CVAIA. CVAIA is working with residents of the Cache Valley area, teaching them how to become financially independent through investments (passive income). The goal is to teach people that everyone can do a job they love because they are not relying on active income, or salary. "We want to teach people how to become financially independent using passive income,” says President/Founder of CVAIA Preston Parker.

One of the great things about CVAIA is that membership is totally free and everyone is invited to join. It is also a non-threatening environment. Nobody needs to know anything about investing before hand. The focus is to educate people on investments through various activities. CVAIA holds meetings every other Thursday night at the Logan Chamber of Commerce on 160 N. Main Street in Logan, Utah at 7:00 p.m. The next meeting will be on Oct. 16 2008.

Please let me know when we can meet so I can answer any questions you may have. My phone number is 801-589-5359 and my email address is k.ridl@aggiemail.usu.edu

Thank you,
