The Superior Area Retired Educators’ Association will host a free seminar for participants of the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday at Superior Middle School, 3626 Hammond Ave., Superior.

The focus will be the Wisconsin Retirement System benefits and options. The seminar is geared to all WRS participants who are planning to retire or beginning to think about it.
