Sudden Death: Are You Prepared?
2022-04-21 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
NOTICE: THIS SERIES IS NOW FULLY SUBSCRIBED…NO ADDITIONAL REGISTRATIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED. OUR NEXT SERIES WILL BE HELD IN JULY..CALL THE OFFICE FOR DATES!

Attention: This event consists of three two-hour sessions.

Here are the dates for all three sessions: Thursdays – April 21, April 28, and May 5 — 10:00 am to Noon (EASTERN TIME)

Note Location: Villages Public Library at Pinellas Plaza, 7375 Powell Road, Wildwood, FL 34785

Attendance is limited; you must register to attend.

Program Description:

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.

A Note on the Importance of Pre-Registering

For certain seminars (including the “Sudden death – Are You Prepared?” series), there is a considerable amount of interaction between the speakers and the participants, so we prefer to limit the number of participants to 24. Also, participants are provided resources in the form of a formal notebook and various reference materials, all of which must be assembled in advance. Hence, we need to carefully track the number of expected (and registered) attendees. While we can occasionally accommodate walk-ins, that’s not always the case, and unregistered folks then tend to be disappointed at having wasted time and effort. Finally, since we also provide snacks for attendees, it’s important that we know the audience size we need to plan for when we purchase our supplies the day before.

Also, if after registering you find that you are unable to attend, please let us know so we can offer that space to someone on our waiting list.

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!

Social Security Seminar
2023-03-22 10:00 - 12:00 | Lady Lake Library, 225 W Guava St, Lady Lake, Florida, 32159, United States
The AMAC Foundation’s Social Security Advisory Service handled over 27,000 calls for help in understanding Social Security.

We’ve found that many of the questions cluster around a handful of basic areas. With this in mind, we thought it would be helpful to provide an update on these most commonly queried subjects, and at the same time provide an update on some of the changes applicable to 2023.

In keeping with our Foundation’s mission of “Supporting and Educating America’s Seniors,” we are presenting an update where seminar attendees can get the facts straight from our staff of National Social Security Advisors.

Join our Advisors who will refresh you on many of the basic Social Security rules you need to understand.

This event has several viewing options –

Sudden Death Seminar Apr/May 2023
2023-04-27 14:00 - 16:00
This is a 3-part series: 1st & 2nd sessions held at 2pm-4pm on April 27th & May 3rd; 3rd session 10am-12pm Thursday, May 11 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.

Pre-Registering Required

This seminar has a considerable amount of work leading up to the event and interaction between speakers and participants, so we prefer to limit the number of participants to 24. Participants will receive formal notebook and various reference materials, all assembled in advance. We carefully track the number of registered attendees to ensure there are enough materials; therefore, we cannot accommodate walk-ins for this event.

If you register and find you are unable to attend, please let us know, so we can offer that space to someone on our waiting list.

For questions, contact the AMAC Foundation at 888-750-2622 or email info@amacfoundation.org
