The Mauch Chunk Trust Company will be offering an Economic Outlook on Oct. 13, at The Hofford Mill, 500 Bridge Street, Lehighton PA 18235.

Dr. Edmond J. Seifried of Seifried & Brew will be the featured guest speaker. He has his eyes on the Federal Reserve and will report on what that organization is likely to do in the months ahead.

By providing the opportunity for communication and education, the Mauch Chunk Trust Company seeks to help community members better maneuver these difficult economic times and the ever-changing economy. “Dr. Ed is always insightful. He is not your usual economist in that he presents complicated topics in a clear and understandable message; you leave with practical and usable information,” said Patrick Reilly, CEO and President of Mauch Chunk Trust Company.

This event is co-sponsored by the Carbon Chamber and Economic Development. Doors open for registration and breakfast at 7 a.m. Welcome and opening remarks begin at 7:45 a.m. and Dr. Seifried will speak from 8 to 8:45 a.m.
