In Our Community

Darla Is Quite Passionate About Our Community. 

Our Founder and President, Darla Pellersels, RFC®, is always looking for ways to make an impact locally for the good of our community, for our children and our troops. 

Each year Darla volunteers her time to teach elementary school kids financial basics. Each lesson is created and taught by Darla and the material is adapted for each grade level. Her topics have included the Value Of Money, Budgeting and Saving, Wants vs Needs, Supply and Demand, Understanding the Difference between Stocks and Bonds, and Staying Out Of Debt. 

These children have an eagerness to learn about all aspects in life. Why not teach them the foundation of money. It seems to be the only class that is desperately needed and not offered in our school's curriculum. Darla is working to change that one classs at a time. 

Darla comes from an Air Force family that is Red, White, and Blue, all the way through. So it is only natural that she would create Letters To Troops, a letter writing campaign for elementary school children to write a letter to someone serving our country oversees with the help of Operation Gratitude. Over the years Darla's efforts to give thanks to our military servicemen and women has sent tens of thousands of letters from Henderson and Las Vegas elementary school children to those that truly deserve our thanks for all they do. 

 

Lets not forget about Darla providing FREE financial education classes monthly to those that seek it. Monthly classes are available for anyone with an interest in learning more about. Each class is designed to empower you to be able to make the important decisions you need to make with your money. Check out the events page to find the class for you.
