Need help with your finances?

Staten Island Advance - June 21, 2004

Are you planning and adequately investing for a retirement that you may quite possibly exceed in 20 years?

Whether planning to pursue a hobby, travel, take classes, collect shells on the beach or just watch TV, does your retirement financial plan allow for inflation, increasing taxes, increasing health-care costs, home repairs and possible changes in government benefits?

You can compare your financial planning against the advice of the guests at a special luncheon and guest presentation to be hosted by the College of Staten Island (CSI).

Alumni, faculty and community friends are welcome to attend the event, entitled, “A Comfortable Retirement: Three Hurdles to Keep in Mind,” Wednesday at noon in the college’s Faculty Club, the Park Cafe (on the CSI Campus Center, Building 1C.), Willowbrook.

Guest speakers will be Joelle Jensen, an attorney with Angiuli, Katkin & Gentile; Solomon Chemo, vice president of investments, Smith Barney, and Ira Weiss, long-term care specialist, Genworth Financial.

To attend, interested parties should make reservations by calling the College Advancement Office at (718) 982-2365. Seating will be limited.
