Marty Markowitz’s office sent this. I guess he figured out that I just turned 50.

    On Thursday, October 30, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will host a free Baby Boomer Retirement Fair at Borough Hall, with representatives on hand to answer questions on everything from Medicare, Social Security and reverse mortgages to money management, foreclosures and planning for the future in these uncertain financial times. Hard to believe, but the earliest baby boomers, defined as anyone born between 1946 and 1964, are beginning to retire.

    Exhibitors and workshops available to help boomers navigate this new phase of their lives will include New York City Department for the Aging; Social Security Administration; Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; SCORE; Grimaldi & Yeung, LLP; Henry Street Settlement; Parodneck Foundation; Mass Mutual Financial Group; Brooklyn Public Library; MetLife Bank, N.A.; AARP Foundation Bill Payer Program; Citibank; Joint Public Affairs Committee for Older Adults (JPAC) and more
