A panel of professional women will address legal, financial, social, and family issues in “Flying Solo Part 3,” a free seminar for those who are single, divorcing, or widowed. Co-sponsored by the Ridgefield Brown Bag Network and Ridgefield Library, the seminar will be held on Tuesday, September 19, from 6:00-8:00 pm at the library.
“There has been an overwhelmingly positive reaction to our ‘Flying Solo’ seminars,” said Barbara McMahon, one of the members of Brown Bag Network who coordinated the event. “We also received many requests to open up the series to men as well as women, and are happy to do so. There’s a lot of important information to share with everyone, and avoiding potential problems is not gender-specific.”
Being on one’s own, whether by choice or by circumstance, can be extremely challenging, said McMahon, a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch. “Our panel of specialists will cover key issues to help navigate the emotional, legal and financial aspects of being single.”
“Knowledge is power,” said McMahon, “and our hopes are that this seminar will inspire, empower and educate.”
