"Generation R: A Retirement Nation at Risk"

In this age of Baby Boomers living longer, a possible Social Security fund meltdown,
unpredictability with Medicare resources and uncertain costs for healthcare coverage,
we are almost certainly headed toward a retirement crisis. Over the next 20 years, it is predicted that millions of Americans will face dependency or permanent employment
because they are financially unprepared to retire. Jeff Helms is the author of two books on retirement. His latest, “Generation R: A Retirement Nation at Risk,” details the coming retirement challenges our nation faces and provides readers with insights on preparing for the impending storm.


FROM THE PRESIDENT

MENINAK MIXER
Event Date: March 16, 2010
Time: 5:00 - 7:00 ?
Location: River City Brewery
Cost: Cash Bar
Organizer: Nick Courtney

The first Meninak Mixer will be held Tuesday, March 16th at The River City Brewery Restaurant and Bar with an aim to 1)recruit new members to the club, and 2) foster member interaction outside of traditional Monday lunch meetings. While our focus will be on the Young Executives (members under 40), the end goal is recruiting any new member. So, we encourage all members to attend and to bring guests whom you think would enjoy learning about Meninak in a less formal setting. There will be a brief welcome by Kent Lindsey and we will have a program list which will be on display accompanied with a sign-up sheet. One of the unique traits of Meninak is the fluid interaction between all members and we'd like to display this at the mixer. So if you're able, please come out to support our efforts and be a part of our recruiting goals! Feel free to contact Nick Courtney (nicholas_courtney@ml.com) with any questions.
