The subject for this month's workshop will be "Preparing Our Teens for College".  Some of the sharing topics on this subject are:

• Finance - When to set up bank account?  When to let them have debit card or credit card?  Debit card vs. credit card?
• What amount of allowance (零用錢) and expense is sufficient but not too much?
• 注意事項 with college application, dormitories, transportation, safety, etc.
  
• How to cope with difficult roommate and privacy issues in the dorm?
• What kind of change will our teenager face when they enter college?

I have invited several past WM parents to the panel to share their experience, they are:

• James Hua 華正朔 - 1 son and 1 daughter
  
• Simon and Cecilia Liao (廖煥中, 郭武湄) - 2 daughters and 1 son
  
• Kaimin Yang (楊開敏) - 1 son
  
• Rosemary Hua will also join us if she's available.

They will also be our guests to the potluck.  Tony Fu will be the workshop facilitator.  If you have any specific questions relating to this subject, feel free to let me know before1/13, thank you.  I look forward to seeing all of you then.

Peace and Joy,
Wendar
