Life Enrichment Gold & Silver Thursday, November 6, 2:00 pm, FREE Presenter: David Kaz, President, DMK Metal Gold and silver; why are these metals so valuable? Join David as he shares the history, how to invest in them, and the value of any precious metal items you may own. Working as a bag boy at his grandparents Rogers Park grocery store in the 70s, David was fascinated by the silver dimes, quarters, half dollars, and war nickels that would appear in the cash register. He exchanged the modern versions for the silver change and that started his interest in silver, and then gold. Audience participation is encouraged, please bring a few items if you are interested in their worth. Registration is required for all Life Enrichment programs.
