Dear Fellow Retiree,
We hope you had a nice summer and are doing well.
Our events earlier this year were successful and well-received:
Day at the Races at Tampa Bay Downs was held on April 5. The event went well thanks to the meticulous planning by Judy Manowitz. This event continues to gain popularity.
Spring Golf Outing at Club Renaissance in Sun City was held on May 5. Dianne Hartt and Donna Fryza continue to do a great job of making this an enjoyable event for all those who participate.
We are sorry we had to cancel our planned Tax Update due to a last minute health emergency.
Flyers are attached for the following upcoming Fall events:
Navigating Today’s Financial Landscape Seminar – Tuesday, September 30.
By popular demand, Eric Longphee will be returning as the speaker. Eric is an excellent speaker with a wealth of experience in financial planning. He also teaches financial classes for retirees at USF.
Fall Golf Outing at Club Renaissance in Sun City, Monday, October 6.
Because of the success of Spring Outing, we have decided to stay with the same venue.
Your Registration form with payment must be received by September 26. Please note that the
event will be held “rain or shine.”
We are tentatively scheduling the Medical Benefits seminars for November 11 and November 12. However, we don’t have any information from IBM or OneExchange to be able to plan on the content or the format at this time. We are hoping the majority of the changes are behind us and it will be easier for many of you to make your selections working with OneExchange. As we finalize plans, we will send another e-mail in the first week of October with a flyer and registration information. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions, please contact us.
