Sudden Death Seminar Series (in person)
2023-01-31 10:00 - 12:00
This is a 3-part series held 10am-12pm on January 31st, February 7th, and February 14th at Villages Public Library at Pinellas Plaza, 7375 Powell Road, Wildwood, FL 34785

If you passed away tomorrow, will your loved ones know what to do? Will they know where your financial information and tax records, insurance records, and investment documents are stored? Will they be able to locate your most current will, health care directives, and documented funeral wishes? Can they locate important household documents, like deeds, car titles, and pension statements?

The list goes on and on, but the important point is that having this type of pertinent information organized and available in a structured place is something you can do in advance for those you leave behind. It’s a big task and it’s not an easy one…we know that. But with a structured approach, you can create a living document that will prove invaluable to your loved ones.

This seminar has been structured to guide you through the process of creating your “Survivor Notebook,” the repository that will help your loved ones cope after your passing. Conducted in three separate two-hour sessions, we’ll walk you through identifying what needs to be considered, assembling the material as we go in an accessible format, and we’ll be developing an approach to maintaining the material so that it’s always current. You’ll leave with a physical roadmap that will be of immeasurable value to your family.

There is no cost for this workshop series, but attendance is limited so you must register to attend. Light refreshments will be served at each session. Notebook materials will be provided.

How Social Security Is Really Calculated?
2023-03-07 14:00 - 15:00
Event sponsored by National Aging In Place Council (NAIPC). Delivered by AMAC Foundation’s own “Ask Rusty,” Russ Gloor!

Do you know how Social Security is really calculated or what your benefit amount will be when you retire? Read on and Register below!

Social Security is, arguably, America’s most important retirement program, but also a very complicated one. Most of those approaching eligibility have little knowledge of how the program works, how their benefit will be computed, and how they can influence what their monthly payment will be. This session explains all of that, plus how and when dependents can become eligible for Social Security. The session also includes an overview of how Medicare works.”

Event will also livestream on NAIPC Facebook Page!
