60+ and Single: How to Have it "My Way"

Wine and hors d'oeuvres will be provided.

The key to a good life is making the right choices at the right time.


While focusing on the unique challenges of being 60+ and single, this lively conversation about planning for an independent life your way is applicable to others. 

Among the questions discussed are:
"I'm single, have no close family or siblings and don't want to be a burden on my friends as I age. How do I pre-plan for the "potholes" of living a longer life?" 
"Have I planned well enough to stay in control of my life?"
“What legal and financial resources do I need?"
”Do I have a network of supportive friends or family?”

Registration recommended by Thursday, July 25 to Pam Campbell at Pamela.Campbell@kiscosl.com or (925) 937-1700.
