SWERV, Savvy Women Exchanging Relevant Views, will gather at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 8 for the program, “Essential Elements of DYI Retirement.”

All women are invited to attend to hear popular returning speaker Dr. Lewis Manell explain why retirement finances are plain common sense — and how it’s easy and far less expensive to handle our own.

He will talk about the superiority of a “strategic” investment plan over the balanced portfolios usually promoted by those who will profit from our transactions – and why women in particular need to know exactly how they are invested. SWERV meets at Filipino American Hall, 7566 High School Road.
