A
Financial Advancement Network Club - or FAN Club - is a monthly
meeting of individuals who are committed to changing their
money management habits into ones that allow them to be in
control of their financial situations and even their financial
destinies. Each FAN Club runs six months in the “Basic
Track” and has the option to continue meeting monthly
for another six months in the “Advanced Track.” Some
clubs, because of the strong financial background of the
members, may start right away with the “Advanced Track.”
