Art of Finance Series

Every day at Buttonwood Financial Group we do what we do because of feedback from you. From periodic reports detailing investment strategy to the Client Appreciation Events, it is all about you! 

The Buttonwood Art of Finance series was started the same way. When we hear requests for more information on a specific topic we go to work. We contact professionals specializing in that area and bring them to you in a comfortable, relaxed setting. 

The Art of Finance series has been developed to be purely educational and informative in nature, and no investment products are discussed or sold. These events are truly for the benefit of our clients, friends, and those interested in learning more about Buttonwood.

Tour and Lunch of the Federal Reserve building!

Buttonwood Financial Group Team led a Tour and Lunch of the Kansas City Federal Reserve building Friday, August 22, 2008.

During our April lunch with Kansas City Federal Reserve President Tom Hoenig, we had a number of requests for a tour of the new Federal Reserve building once the facility opened its doors. Working diligently with the staff at the Fed we were able to arrange an hour long tour of the facility as well as a plated lunch at the Federal Reserve Bank. 

The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City building is an amazing new 600,000 square-foot complex that houses the core operations facilities for the Kansas City Federal Reserve.  This beautiful facility sits on a 15.7-acre site just south of the World War I Liberty Memorial Museum in Penn Valley Park. Our tour of the Fed included a trip through the Money Museum, which details the history of U.S. currency, and included an introduction to the soon to be famous trio... Huey, Dewy, and Louie!
