Pennsylvania. The host was John Fischer. Economics Pennsylvania, with home
office located in Selinsgrove, has the mission of ensuring that every young
person in PA understands essential economic and financial literacy concepts. It
is best known locally through the Stock Market Game, a ten week Wall Street

investment portfolios. Ranked 50 when Fritz became President and CEO better
than 15 years ago, for the last six years PA has been first in the last six
years. April is Financial Literacy Month, making this an excellent opportunity
to learn about additional education programs done through Econ PA such as Business
Plan Competition, Economics Challenge, Financial Fitness for Life, Strive to
Drive, and The Economics of Alternative Energy.A Club Board meeting followed the program.
