The Center for Women will host a workshop Saturday for women who are interested in evaluating and reassessing their financial plans.

The workshop will assist women who want to change careers, deal with divorce, suffer loss of a spouse, send their kids to college, take care of parents or sell a home. Financial experts will discuss how to manage credit, savings, retirement, college costs, real estate and investments.
