Last year, more than 14 people completed Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University course.

The course is offered again at 6 p.m. Thursdays from Sept. 8-Dec. 8 at Unity of the Sierra, 110 E. Ann Street, Carson City, offering students a chance to laugh and have fun while their lives are changed by learning sound financial principles, said spokeswoman Lynn Purvis.
