And\, we would like to thank the Town of West Seneca and the West Seneca Public Library for their assistance in coordinating what we hope will become an annual event.” \nDuring the event\, eight speakers are also scheduled to give brief presentation on a variety of important topics: \nMakerSpace Room in Library: \n• 10:15 a.m.: Larry Palaszynski\, CPA\, of Value Finders will speak on the topic of Business Valuation.

This talk will cover what everyone needs to know about taxes in retirement. When someone plans on retiring\, or is already retired\, they will often ask: Is my Social Security taxable? How is my pension taxed? How do taxes affect my retirement account distributions? What are required minimum distributions? If I have an annuity\, will that be taxed?

He will also cover the choices we make and how they align with our values\, goals\, and the ability to achieve financial security. \n• 1:15 p.m. Ann Bowback of Spectrum Health & Human Services will speak on the topic of Narcan.
