Fully enjoy your retirement by making sure you are fully prepared before the time comes.

The increasing cost of healthcare is a growing concern for current and future retirees. In fact, 30 years ago, retirees spent almost twice as much on food as on healthcare; now the amounts are nearly equal. Tonya Almond, Financial Advisor from Edward Jones, joins us next Tuesday, April 28 at 7 PM to host: Planning for Healthcare Costs in Retirement .

She will discuss topics like Medicare coverage and traditional medical expenses, long-term medical care, and strategies to address uncovered expenses as part of your retirement plan.

Don't miss the return of Mark Dvorak next week!

We absolutely CANNOT WAIT for Catch the Twain: The Musical.

Take part in this theatrical, educational, and highly entertaining storytelling adventure with Warren Brown as Mark Twain and with songs and tunes by musician and songwriter Mark Dvorak.

Mark did a banjo program with us last fall and it was an absolute blast! If you love Mark Twain, great storytelling, history, music, maybe all of the above -- this one is for you!

There are still some spots left. Sign up now with the link below in the comments.

We love when Chez Madelaine Cooking School joins us for cooking programs. Last week she shared with us how much Julia Child has influenced her cooking. That came through in the salads, homemade mayonnaise, and bechamel (a base for cheddar mac & cheese) she made for us. It's always a treat to see her creations come to life (and enjoy the samples!).
