In response to requests from residents looking for information about how to map out their financial future, AARP Hawaii is hosting a free workshop from 9 a.m.-noon Saturday at the Hilo Aging and Disability Resource Center, 1055 Kinoole St.
AARP volunteer Joanna Amberger, CFP, will lead the two-hour financial planning workshop in an intimate setting that will allow for questions.
