Whether retirement is around the corner or 10 years away, you will learn vital information regarding preparing for your future at the Pre-Retirement Seminar, a helpful information opportunity designed for lay participants in the Wespath pension program, along with United Methodist clergy and spouses. This year's seminar is scheduled to follow on the heels of the Gathering of the Elders event at Alton L. Collins Retreat Center that concludes at noon on Thursday, October 18th. The seminar will be held at Portland First United Methodist Church, Room 202, from 1 pm to 4 pm. Representatives from Wespath Benefits and Investments and the Social Security Administration will present information for those contemplating retirement and how to prepare.
