To help employees plan for their transition to retirement, Human Resources will sponsor two free retirement sessions in March.

The sessions are designed for employees aged 62 and older, but everyone is welcome to attend regardless of age or participation in a retirement plan. Experts on Social Security and Medicare will discuss eligibility, enrollment and benefits. There will be plenty of time for Q&A at the end of each session.

Fidelity will provide free lunches from the Copper Kettle for the first 100 registered participants. Please note that you need to register by the specified date to guarantee a lunch.
