[FONT=&quot]Walton County Coastal Library, 6 -7:30 p.m. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Seven workshops free of charge in the community room at the Coastal library.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] Jeffery and Maggie have lived and worked in Walton County for more than 10 years. Both became unemployed unexpectedly at the same time. They were able to fall back on economical living skills they learned while living in the Northern Minnesota woods. They used their year of unemployment wisely, starting OrchardsInternational.com, becoming a CERT member and co-authoring a book. Jeffery is a retired Navy Seabee, and is thankful for his “regular job” at Gulf Place. Maggie was thankful for nanny jobs during the tourist season. She is an AmeriCorps alumnus and holds a Florida early childhood director’s license.
