Free workshop on long-term care

The Merrill Chamber of Commerce and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans are co-sponsoring a free educational workshop designed to help participants gain a basic understanding of long-term care and find out how to create a plan to protect your independence, choices, assets and family. Two 50-minute workshops called "Long-Term Care: What You Need to Know," will be held at 8 a.m. and at 6 p.m., on Wednesday, Jan. 9 at the T.B. Scott Library. The workshop is present by Kevin Maloney, a financial representative with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans in Merrill.

During the workshop, participants will learn what long-term care is, how much it costs, and ways to pay for it. Participants will also learn how to develop a long-term care strategy.
