Dear Delegate:

For your information, we are providing a copy of the most recent Administrative Bulletin sent in December to all Chief School Administrators, College and University Presidents, and School Principals.

WINTER/SPRING 2002
PRERETIREMENT PLANNING SEMINARS

• The New York State Teachers' Retirement System has announced its next series of statewide preretirement planning seminars for the winter/spring of 2002. The sites and dates are listed on the enclosed schedule.

• The seminars are open to active members of the State Teachers' Retirement System age 45 and older. Reservations will be taken on a first call basis. Spouses/companions 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.

• 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 that are important to those preparing for retirement.

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.

The Seminar Schedule is also on our Web site.

Thank you for your cooperation.
