Mayor Dyer Proclaims Financial Planning Week in Orlando

Orlando, Fla. - September 24, 2004 - Buddy Dyer, Mayor of Orlando, Florida, has proclaimed October 4-10, 2004 as Financial Planning Week in the city of Orlando. The event, sponsored by the Financial Planning Association, will be held in several major cities across the United States.

Charlie Fitzgerald, III, principal of wealth management and retirement services firm, Spraker, Fitzgerald, Tamayo & Moisand and president of the Financial Planning Association's (FPA) Central Florida Chapter, requested the mayor's assistance in formally announcing the third annual National Financial Planning Week.

"Like all Americans, the citizens of Orlando have hopes, dreams and goals including buying a home, sending a child to college and planning for retirement," says Fitzgerald. "Financial Planning Week will strive to promote the value of financial planning in achieving these goals through a series of events throughout the week."

The signature event for Financial Planning Week is a "Call in Hotline" on October 10, where over 40 financial planners will be taking calls and answering questions from the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The increasing public concerns with the long-term viability of Social Security and the growing responsibility of workers to save for their own retirement has caused many Americans to explore the benefits of seeking a financial planner to assist them with their investment needs.

Formed in 2000, the Financial Planning Association is the largest membership organization for the financial planning community, with 29,000 members nationwide. FPA members include individuals and companies that are dedicated to helping people through the financial planning process. For more information, visit www.fpanet.org.
