Summer 2000
Preretirement Planning Seminars

• The New York State Teachers' Retirement system has announced its next series of statewide preretirement planning seminars for the summer of 2000.  The sites and dates are listed on the enclosed schedule.

• The day-long (8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.) seminars feature presentations and discussions on financial planning, Social Security, adjusting to retirement, legal considerations, Retirement System benefits, retirement incentives and other retirement-related topics.  The purpose of the program is to focus on the questions and concerns which are important to those preparing for retirement.

• The seminars are open to active members of the Teachers' Retirement System age 45 and older.  Reservations will be taken on a first call basis.  Spouses are also invited and encouraged to attend.  Instructions for making reservations are included on the seminar schedule.  Since seminar participants are provided with personalized benefit information, they should be prepared to show photo identification at the seminar.

Since this is the only announcement of the schedule, we ask you to share it with your staff immediately, so those wishing to attend can call early to register.  Please note the two starting dates for making reservations in different areas.

Thank you for your cooperation.
