April 20, 2017 Page 3 Community Briefs School Bond Refinancing Brings Savings to Lawndale Taxpayers In November 2016, Lawndale voters supported Measure L--a local parcel tax that will provide funding for the Lawndale Elementary School District (LESD) to improve the quality of local public education by modernizing outdated classrooms, restrooms and school facilities with funding that cannot be taken by the state. In addition, LESD will make health and safety improvements such as repairing or replacing leaky roofs, updating electrical systems for modern technology, and replacing outdated heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. In taking the Measure L Bonds to the market, the LESD Board of Education found this to be an opportune time to advocate for our taxpayers and consider refinancing the Series B bonds Inglewood Library Free Workshop on Retirement Benefits In conjunction with Money Smart Week (April 22-29), the Inglewood Public Library will host a free workshop on retirement planning presented by financial advisor Kevin Kugley. Learn about retirement and get answers to your questions on Saturday, April 29 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Gladys Waddingham Lecture Hall at the Main Library, 101 West Manchester Boulevard. Mr. Kugley is a financial advisor with 19 years’ experience, a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC)®, and a USC Marshall Executive MBA. Learn about Social Security and the factors to consider when deciding to apply, like how to coordinate benefits with your spouse, what that were issued for campus modernization back in 1998. The District issued $5,080,000 in 2017 Refunding Bonds to refund the prior 1998 Series B bonds. This refinancing reduced the total bond payments assigned to Lawndale’s taxpayers by $826,128, or 13.75 percent of the present value. The bonds went to the market at a favorable time and the actual savings from the refunding was significantly higher than the $600,000 that was initially projected. “The Lawndale Elementary School District appreciates the ongoing support of its community and will continue to advocate for our students and our taxpayers,” stated Dr. Gretchen Janson, LESD’s new Assistant Superintendent of Business Services. you are entitled to as a widowed or divorced retiree, and how to coordinate Social Security with your other sources of retirement income. The presentation will also answer questions such as: Will Social Security be there for me? How much can I expect to receive? Will my benefits be enough to live on in retirement? When should I apply for my benefits? How can I maximize my benefits? This presentation is intended to help give people some direction on a highly cluttered topic.

Hawthorne Happenings News for the City of Good Neighbors from an Old Guy named Norb Huber Spring Break Vacation is great. No work, just fun. This must be how retirement must feel, right? I find myself working on my days off. I love to volunteer and help wherever I can. Sometimes I have to tell myself to stop working and just go have some fun. Golf is one of the ways I finally stop working, that’s why I enjoy it so much. Oh, I forgot to tell you that my foursome won the Hawthorne Parks and Recreation Foundation tournament for the first time last week. We beat the gentlemen’s club foursome and the trash hauler’s foursome and the water company’s foursome. After coming in second place several times, it was fun to win. The key to our victory was making some long putts. It’s always great to see that little white ball drop into the cup. This all may sound weird to you non-golfers, but believe me, golf is a frustrating sport. But once you get hooked, it’s hard to beat it for pure fun. It’s truly an escape from the world of work. Writing this is getting me excited. Fore!
