PREPARING FOR RETIREMENT AT ANY AGE
We are especially pleased that again, this year we will be having Ann Lindsay, DOL Benefits Officer, presenting at our July 18th meeting at 1:00pm. Her presentation is titled Preparing for Retirement at Any Age. This presentation should be extremely valuable to our many active federal employees in the San Francisco area and is conveniently located in the new Federal Building at Civic Center. I encourage all active members to bring a fellow employee with them so they can experience firsthand the educational benefits of NARFE. I will also provide an opportunity to ask questions of those retirees who have successfully navigated the transition from active federal employee to retiree.

CHAPTER 65 TOUR OF HISTORIC JAMES R BROWNING US COURTHOUSE: LESLIE CHING 641- 6245
In May 2011, our guest speaker was Kathleen Butterfield, Staff Attorney, Ninth Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals. During her presentation, we learned that docent-led public tours were given twice a month. Because of members’ interest, we made the following arrangements to Tour the Historic James R. Browning U.S. Courthouse on Wednesday, September 26. This will be in lieu of our regular meeting on Wednesday, September 19.
The courthouse is located at 7th and Mission Streets. The entrance is located at 95 – 7th Street, directly across from the George W. Bush, Federal Office Building, where we hold our monthly meetings. Public Transportation: You can take BART/MUNI to the Civic Center Station; you can also any bus or streetcar on Market Street, and any Mission Street bus all are within a block 95 -7th Street.
Reservations have been made for members and their guests to tour the courthouse. We were unable to make arrangements for our usual third Wednesday of the month, and so Wednesday, September 26 was chosen. The tour starts promptly at 11 a.m. and will last 60 to possibly 90 minutes, depending upon the number of questions. Space is limited! We are required to have a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 25 attendees.
