For more than 30 years the investment club has come together to learn how to follow economic trends and use that information to expand its portfolio. With guidance from club President Pat Koko, club members jointly purchase stocks and make decisions as a group.

The club provides a fun and easy way to learn about investing by combining camaraderie, education, buying power and confidence.

“Our year-to-date is 9.7 percent right now which puts us ahead of the Dow,” Koko said. “We’ve got a variety of stocks, and we’re doing really well.”

To make the best financial choices, a special presentation is given by a different group member each month. In addition, each member is in charge of following one stock throughout the month and presenting a report of the stock’s activity.

There are currently 15 club members. To formally join, attendance to at least three meetings is required, and the final decision is voted on by the group. However, anyone can attend as often as they like without becoming a member.

The Oak Park Arms is a rental retirement community which provides independent and assisted living apartments and a full schedule of activities and services. Furnished apartments are also available for a short-term stay – a weekend, a week, a month or longer.

The event is free and open to the public. Call Jill Wagner at 708-386-4040.

Flanagan will share humorous, bizarre and unfortunate stories of missing wills, poor documentation and disorder from celebrities including Sonny Bono, Princess Diana, Florence “Flo Jo” Griffith Joyner, Leona Helmsley, Davey Jones and Doris Duke.

In addition, the basics of a last will and testament, differences between a will and a trust, power of attorney, proper planning and ownership will be discussed and explained.

Building on his 15 years in the financial services field, Flanagan formed Bentron Financial Group, LLC in 2001. It specializes in comprehensive, fee-based planning for corporate executives, business owners and retirees.

Flanagan founded the Celebrating Seniors Coalition in 2010, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving older adults in Forest Park, Oak Park and River Forest.

“I have honed my knowledge of risk management, financial planning and succession planning,” he said, “and I’m dedicated to serving people at or near retirement.”

In 2007, Flanagan received a master’s degree in business administration from Dominican University’s Brennan School of Business with a concentration in finance.
