Fire Family Foundation Hosts Sixth Annual Fire Boot Classic on Saturday

April 27th Charity Event Supports Firefighters

Published: Thursday, April 25, 2019 | 2:25 PM


Firefighters…  They risk their lives every day to protect their community … “to protect us, our lives and our property. They are men and women like you and me, yet, they serve… every day to ensure that we are safe.” Their commitment to helping others is second to none. With all of the devastating fires the past few years, many firefighters lost their homes while helping to save so many others.

 On April 27, 2019, Fire Family Foundation is hosting its 6th Annual Fire Boot Classic Charity Event at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. This event is a Casino Night and Poker Tournament, with Drinks, Dining, a Silent Auction, Live Auction, and Fun! The funds raised from this event will support the Firefighter Relief fund that provides financial assistance to firefighters and their families in times of need. The mission is to be there… “when they need our support.”

 As the charitable hand of Firefighters First Credit Union, the Foundation provides vital financial assistance to the Fire Family. We also award $50,000 in scholarship grants each year to the children of active or fallen firefighters nationwide and we help 501(c)(3) tax exempt organizations to support the local charitable needs of fire departments, firefighters and their families and other charitable causes within their local communities.

 Please show your support for firefighters who sacrifice so much for the safety of the surrounding communities, for your safety.

 London Hotel is located at 1020 N. San Vicente Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA 90069.

Sunday Reading - 401(k) plans, explained

  Worker Nest Eggs       401(k) plans, explained Originally intended for corporate executives, the 401(k) is now, arguably,   the most famous section of the US tax code   and a staple in worker benefits packages and personal finance guides ( watch 101 ). Roughly 70 million Americans, with a total of more than $7T invested , use these long-term, tax-advantaged accounts to build toward a more secure retirement. Some critics claim that with 401(k) plans, companies offloaded the risk of retirement savings to workers without the training to avoid volatile portfolio mixes. Amid the 2008 financial crisis, many 401(k) plans lost over a quarter of their value , an event that hit those near retirement particularly hard. ... Read our full explainer on the plan...

Fed Gets Green Light for Interest Rate Cuts as Unemployment Rate Jumps to 4-Year High

The Federal Reserve is now seen as likely to   cut interest rates   multiple times before the end of the year, following another weak jobs report that showed unemployment jumping to a four-year high. The U.S. economy added just 22,000 jobs in August, less than economists had expected, the  Bureau of Labor Statistics  reported Friday. The unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, up slightly from 4.2% in July but hitting the highest level seen since October 2021, when the economy was still recovering from pandemic-driven layoffs. Although the new jobs report was troubling news for the economy, for prospective homebuyers with secure jobs it likely means further easing in  mortgage rates  in the days to come. Mortgage rates hinge primarily on the yields of  10-year Treasury notes , which plunged Friday to their lowest level since early April, when President  Donald Trump 's Liberation Day tariff announcement sparked panic in financial markets. It signals furth...

The Federal Reserve and How it Works

  The Federal Reserve       Background No institution wields more power in US finance than the Federal Reserve—but opinion polls indicate most Americans  don’t know  what it does. Known casually as “the Fed,” the century-old independent central bank sets interest rates, determining how much ordinary people pay for mortgages, car loans, and more, all to achieve its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment ( read 101 ). Consisting of a central board of governors working in tandem with 12 regional banks, the Fed also manages the US money supply and acts as the lender of last resort. The Origins of the Fed Throughout the 19th century, the US faced  periodic economic downturns , which resulted in financial panics. Customers raced ...
