‘An Engineering Approach to Retirement’
Retirement means different things to different people. To some it means leaving the working world entirely. To others, it means continuing to work, perhaps part-time, for as long as possible.
Regardless of your definition, people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s need to be aware of the fundamentals of financing retirement. This seminar will look at constructing income streams from retirement plans and Social Security, among other topics.
Led by parishioner John Shelton of Oppenheimer & Co, Inc., this seminar will answer questions and perhaps raise others as we consider financing retirement.
The seminar is offered by the Legacy Society, which exists to inform the parish about the importance of remembering the Saint Michael and All Angels Foundation in your estate plans. The Foundation continues the work of the church for future generations

Horizons Arts Ministry at St. Michael’s presents a fall lecture series from the KU Osher Professional and Continuing Education program on Kansas History:
|
From Trails to Rails: the Historical Geography of Urbanization in Kansas
The first segment of this presentation will examine the early trails of Territorial Kansas and how they gave way to the development of cattle towns at the railheads of Ellsworth, Hays, Wichita and Dodge City. Then an evaluation will discuss how the two most valuable resources in Kansas-oil and natural gas-helped urbanize southeast Kansas and the "oil patch" towns of western Kansas. The final segment focuses on how early promotional efforts led to the rise of Wichita; how Topeka "captured" the state capital; and how Lawrence became the classic college town.
One must pay for all 3 sessions, $50. If you are affiliated with St. M’s, there is a $20 discount. If you have an alum association number from KU or K State, there is another 10% discount.
