     More than 500 clients in the Lake Cumberland Area have learned how they can save money during the holidays throughout the year.    The clients have learned how to develop a budget for upcoming holiday expenses, identify ways to re-use and make decorations, and identify cost saving strategies for specific holidays.  Several hand made articles were demonstrated to show clients how they could make gifts without breaking their budget for specific holidays.
