Meriden Public Library Hosts Investor Education Program Through May 15
May 1, 2016
Local residents are encouraged to compete in the 2016 DASH for the STASH, an investor education and protection program and contest taking place through May 15, 2016 at Meriden Public Library. One statewide winner will be chosen in a random drawing of eligible participants who logged the correct answer for all four posters. The winner will receive a $1,000 contribution to an existing or new Individual Retirement Account (IRA) for 2016. The DASH for the STASH program is being launched by the Connecticut Department of Banking and the nonprofit Investor Protection Institute (IPI).To enter the contest, individuals visit a participating library or other location where a set of four investor education topic posters (and one rules poster) are displayed. Contestants read each poster and then access the quiz question for each poster.
The DASH for the STASH posters each have a QR code and a web link to a quiz that individuals will access to answer questions and participate in the contest. The posters cover four key topics: finding financial advisers, avoiding fraud, understanding investment fees, and building a nest egg. The easiest way to participate in the DASH for the STASH is to use a smart phone or mobile device to scan each poster's QR code, but you also will be able to use a laptop or desktop computer at most locations.
In addition to English language posters, Meriden Public Library will also have posters in Spanish.
