Valley United Way continues finance series

SHELTON - Valley United Way is continuing its 2014 Financial Education Series with three important programs.

The first on April 1 will be on Fraud Awareness & Prevention, the second on April 8 will be on Getting Retirement Ready, and the third will be on May 13 talking about Retirement Income Planning.

The April 1 program will be presented by Webster Bank and will be offered at 5:30 p.m. in Valley United Way’s Lavietes Conference Room. Valley United Way is at 54 Grove St.

This will be an opportunity to learn all about the ways that thieves try to steal personal information. With all the current news about credit card hacking, protecting privacy is more important than ever. This seminar will better prepare you for a world where identity theft, phishing, skimming and so many other new electronic devices put you at risk unless you know how to protect yourself.

The April 8 session will be hosted and presented by Barnum Financial Group, An Office of MetLife at 5:30 p.m. at 6 Corporate Drive.
This workshop will prepare individuals for the decisions they need to make as they approach retirement. These decisions include sources of retirement income, employer distribution options, lump sum vs. rollover, health insurance options and relocation decisions.

The May 13 session will be hosted and presented by Barnum Financial Group, An Office of MetLife at 5:30 p.m. at 6 Corporate Drive.
This workshop addresses the steps you need to take to create an income strategy for after retirement and also teaches you how to manage five common retirement risks.

All sessions are provided free of charge, but reservations are highly recommended as seating is limited and dinners will be served.
This series is made possible by the generous support of the presenters and grants from Pitney Bowes and the Newtown Savings Bank.
