Free Breast Cancer Forum on April 6

The Island Now
Dr. Ganesh M. Pandit

Serious illness can get people thinking about the future and what effect it will have on their life and family. Finances are a part of that thinking.

This educational forum, “Planning for the Future” will be held on Tuesday, April 6 at 6 p.m. at Adelphi University in Garden City to provide information about finances and advance directives.

Dr. Ganesh M Pandit, associate professor of accounting at Adelphi University, will focus on topics such as saving money, using a budget, keeping track of bills, debt-to-income ratio, retirement planning, IRAs, different types of insurance, different ways to invest money, using credit cards wisely, credit reports and credit score, and identity theft.

Kathleen M. Fox, a registered nurse and attorney, will focus her discussion on trusts, wills and advance directives. Her aim is to give participants peace of mind while planning for the future.

This free forum is presented by the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program and sponsored by the Junior Coalition of Manhasset’s W
