Financial guru Suze Orman
dishes out money advice.

he 12th annual Women's
Power Breakfast to benefit
Gleaners Community Food
Bank featured acclaimed talk show
host Suze Orman.. More than 300
patrons attended the event held
March 11, at the Wintergarden in
the Renaissance Center, Detroit.
"This powerful gathering of
CARLA
women
provides an opportunity to
S CHWARTZ
network,"
said Dulcie Rosenfeld,
Columnist
founding chair of the annual break-
fast.
She also reminded the crowd why they attended the
breakfast — "to help our neighborhood in need."
Gleaners Community Food Bank, located in
Detroit, distributes nearly two million pounds of
food monthly to hungry citizens in southeastern
Michigan. Kay Cowger, Jennifer Fischer and Ariela
Shani co-chaired the event.
Orman, author of The Money Book for the Young,
Fabulous and Broke, captivated the audience with her
tips for financial success. She talked about the impor-
tance of finance and estate planning. She mentioned
a will and a Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit
score rating as top priorities. "A FICO score is a
three-digit number that determines the interest rate
you will pay on your
credit cards, car loan
and home mortgage."
She also talked about
real estate as a good
investment. She noted
the best advice: "Invest
in yourselves."
