Retirement Planning
Tuesday, May 22, 6:30 p.m.
Retirement is not an end to productive work or personal contribution. It can be a time of discovering new options, examining your personal health, and looking at preferences for leisure, travel, and hobbies. Issues of providing care giving for aging parents or grandparents may need to be addressed either now or in the future. Ensuring that wills, estates, power-of-attorney and health care administration are in place to protect you and your family is an important consideration. Join Jim Ratliff of New Horizons here at the Hudson Library & Historical Society on Tuesday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m. as he discusses these and other issues that will affect us as we head towards retirement. There is no cost for this program. Call 330.653.6658 extension 1010.
