Retirement Week is going to take place October 21st through the 27th. 
National Save for Retirement Week is the first congressionally 
endorsed, formal event publicly urging employers to promote the 
benefits of saving for retirement, and encourage their employees to 
take full advantage of employer-sponsored retirement and savings plans. 
Hopefully this week will make employees more aware of how critical it 
is to save now for their financial future and learn how to take

  To learn more about National Save for Retirement Week, visit 
choosetosave.org. I urge you to take charge of your retirement now.
