On Thursday, May 12, First Clover Leaf Bank along with Charlie Brennan will host a new Business Community Seminar Series. The title of the first seminar is ‘The Facts & Effects of Economics’. Rik Hafer author and Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at SIUE will present a non-political, media-spin-free picture of the economy and how it will affect your business and life. Charlie and Professor Hafer preview the event.

Charlie recently saw an article in a local newspaper about teen cutting. What is cutting? It is a form of self-injury disorder that can occur with various psychiatric behaviors, but a condition/behavior is not necessarily always the case of why some do this. Dr. Erin Shannon-McGowan joins Charlie to discuss this troubling matter that needs to be addressed.
