Retirement Planning Session Held

On Tuesday, October 14, 2014, a planning session for retirement was held at the Cameron Middle School at 7 pm. Thirty-four people hear an hour and a half presentation by Roger Byers about the Wisconsin Retirement System and choices retirees have to make upon retirement.

All those in attendance seemed to enjoy Roger's presentation and many statements were made about how much they had learned.

Roger remained after the presention and talked with individuals who had questions on the presentation or on their current situation.

Steve Eichman, BCREA president, also made a short presentation on WREA and BCREA. It is hoped that those in attendance will consider joining these organizations when they retire.

Those in attendance were given an opportunity to join WREA as an associate member with their first year free.
