In partnership with local financial expert Gary Crouch, Lewis and Clark Community College’s Corporate and Community Learning (CCL) division has designed a workshop to help people better understand the facts about retirement, strategies to increase and manage incomes, and tips about current economic trends for today’s retirees.

“Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions,” Crouch said. “I know how confusing this process can be, and I want people to walk away from this workshop with the answers that are most helpful to them.”
