Social Security--How to Grow From Here Webinar |
|
Join Jeff Wheeler for this timely webinar on all the changes taking place with Social Security for 2021. About the event:
Due to changes that are taking place with Social Security in 2021, such as the Cost of Living Adjustment, Workers Penalty and Federal Payroll Tax (FICA) wage cap, we're running a Zoom seminar with product partner John Hancock called Social Security: How to Grow from Here. It will go through the 2021 changes and updates that were recently released. Social Security has the potential to be a key financial asset, yet many retirees fail to make the most of it. The webinar is a 50 minute Zoom presentation with colorful slides that discusses how to make the most of the government program by reviewing the basics of Social Security, incorporating Social Security into a retirement portfolio and strategies for maximizing the benefits it offers. It is a seminar considered appropriate for all investor types in retirement and it's been very well received.
This event is being held through The Jenks Center. Registration can be found here

The Network is thrilled to welcome author E. Dolores Johnson to discuss her book, Say I’m Dead. Johnson’s memoir about family secrets, race, identity, and love that tells the story of her Black father and White mother, who fled Indiana and its antimiscegenation laws forbidding their relationship and secretly married in Buffalo, NY in the 1940s.
Societal norms dictated that their child’s birth certificate indicate that she was Black, erasing her mother’s White blood from her identity. Later, as a Harvard-educated business executive feeling too far from her Black roots, Johnson researched her father’s Black genealogy and discovered that her mother’s White family was missing.
Recognized by the National Association of Black Journalists, Booklist, and Powell’s bookstore, Say I’m Deadaims “a potent lens at what it means to be biracial and [shines] more light on the racism that continues to sicken this country every day,” according to The Boston Globe.
Books are available at BookEnds in Winchester, the Winchester Public Library, or via this link.
