Club hosts first seminar and group Retirement Plaque presentation.

Gathering to Learn, Honor

The Club held a Retiree insurance seminar and retirement plaque presentation Monday, April 24 at the California Endowment downtown.

The event was hosted by Club CEO Robert Larios. Club Counselor Cheryl Martin presented an informational seminar for Retirees and near-retireds to learn about Long Term Care and how to insure against its financial challenges.

As part of the seminar, seven Club Members who had retired recently were honored with Club Retirement Plaques.

This was the first event of its kind and marked the growth of the Retirement Plaque program – it was the first time Retired Club Members had gathered for a seminar and award presentation.

It’s important for the Club to honor our Retired Members and thank them deeply for their many years of dedicated service to the City. Their careers have a made a difference in the life of the City, and they leave legacies of purpose and significance. Thank you, Retired Members!
