Newton Free Library to Offer Retirement Planning Club for Women

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 - 7:30 pm

Newton Free Library, Druker Auditorium

Free to the public

Have you wondered where to begin with the process of
financial planning for retirement?

The Newton Free Library has received a grant from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), in partnership with the American Library Association to host a retirement planning club for women.

Dr. Arnaa Alcon, an Associate Professor of Social Work at Bridgewater State College, will speak on the importance of retirement planning for women. She has conducted extensive research and is an advocate for income and financial security for women and is the former Associate Director of the National Center on
Women and Aging.

During the grant period the club will meet once per month and will be led by volunteer coaches recruited by the Newton Community Service Center’s SOAR program. Using their own PC’s or library computers club participants will have access through the Newton Free Library’s website to investment education resources
and other useful links. Activities will include group participation in the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College’s Get Rich Slow online interactive game and presentation of a class on the use of library financial resources.

The library is partnering with Discovering What’s Next® and SOAR on this grant and is grateful for the assistance and support of The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
