<a href="https://events.enlighten567.com/public/TaxesInRetirement/register/659482700501350490bfee69.html?utm_source=patch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">PRE REGISTRATION REQUIRED - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER</a> If you're nearing retirement or already retired, you need to understand how taxes (including the new changes) impact your retirement income, as it may be possible for you to pay less in taxes on your hard-earned dollars.
Since each person's tax situation is unique, and the tax rules can change year to year, it can be challenging to get accurate and timely information.
That is why we've developed a special seminar that has already helped over 700,000 people nationwide navigate the retirement tax maze.
Join us at the DePaul University - Levan Center for an informational seminar and insurance presentation covering Taxes In Retirement on May 7 from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM.
The seminar will equip you with the most up-to-date and comprehensive information regarding retirement taxation, including ways to efficiently harvest your income sources - whether they are Social Security, 401(k)/IRA, other sources, or a combination of them all. Using the information you'll learn during the seminar, you'll be better positioned to develop a successful retirement tax strategy that can potentially safeguard you from over-taxation - all with the goal of saving you money. <a href="https://events.enlighten567.com/public/TaxesInRetirement/register/659482700501350490bfee69.html?utm_source=patch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> PRE REGISTRATION REQUIRED - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER</a>

Second Church of Christ, Scientist

The waters in our country have been muddied with hate, fear, and division. What are we going to do about it? Join Cynthia, Beckie Menzie, and Irwin Berkowitz as she traces where we’ve been and how we got here, finding truth, compassion, and humor along the way.
“Bridge Over Muddied Waters was awarded the Chicago Cabaret Performers Advocacy Award, and it is easy to see why. Through careful song selection and Ms. Clarey’s own written words, the musical cabaret details her reflections on political and societal unrest in this country. With this cabaret theater, the singing actress comments on the Black experience, politics, presidents, Washington D.C., activism and activists, legends, and leaders, and her encounters with prejudice, micro-aggressions, and just plain old garden variety ignorance…These personal stories make Bridge Over Muddied Waters more than good theater – they make it important theater.”
