Tax-Sheltered Annuity Counseling Available
------------------------------------------
As Jeffersonians, you have the opportunity to save for your retirement with
a tax-sheltered annuity, a special benefit enjoyed by employees of non-
profit institutions under the Internal Revenue Service Code 403(b).

These annuities allow you to deposit money directly from your paycheck into
a retirement account on a pre-federal tax basis. This means that you can
build up a nest egg for the future while lowering your current federal taxes.

To provide you with free counseling about tax-sheltered annuities,
representatives from Fidelity Investments, TIAA-CREF and the Vanguard Group
will be on campus for both individual appointments and group presentations
on Monday, April 24, and Tuesday, April 25. 

A representative from the Copeland Companies will also be at Jefferson on
those dates as well as daily throughout the year.

To schedule your individual appointment, please contact these company 
representatives:

   o Fidelity Investments: Lisa Francis, 1-800-841-3363
   o TIAA-CREF: Ms. Graham, 215-587-8504
   o The Vanguard Group: Erika Yost, 1-800-662-0106, extension 4629
   o The Copeland Companies: Len Rizzotti, 6171

The group presentations will take place in 203 Jefferson Medical College on
Monday, April 24, from noon to 1 p.m. and Tuesday, April 25 from 1 to 2 p.m.

To reserve your seat at one of these presentations, please call the benefits
office at 8922
