			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce announced that it will host its fifth annual Motorsports Celebration on Saturday, May 21st at 5:30 p.m. at Bill Estes Ford, 450 E. Northfield Dr. in Brownsburg. The event, which raises funds for the organization throughout the year, will feature a catered dinner by Green Street Pub, a cash bar, classic and race cars on display, a fundraiser auction and a pinewood derby race. The event is open to the public (ages 21 and older). Last year’s event raised about $5,000 for the Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce.</p>
<p>Tickets to the Motorsports Celebration are $25 ($30 admission on the day of<br />
the event), and include admission to the event, buffet dinner and pinewood<br />
derby kit (optional). The chamber encourages residents and businesses to<br />
participate by purchasing a ticket to attend, sponsoring or donating an<br />
auction item for the event. This year’s auction currently features around 50<br />
items, including sports and events tickets, autographed racing items, cash,<br />
gift cards and business services.</p>
<p>The pinewood derby race provides an opportunity for individuals or<br />
businesses to build and brand their own model cars, which will be on display<br />
prior to the race. Entrants can then race their cars during the event on a<br />
custom-built track, complete with a laser finish line and projection screen<br />
showing heats and team name. Overall winners and design winners will receive<br />
awards as well as publicity after the event. Last year’s winning cars are<br />
not allowed to enter again.</p>
<p>To purchase tickets and/or pick up car kits, visit the Brownsburg Chamber of<br />
Commerce offices at 61 N. Green St., Brownsburg, between 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.<br />
weekdays up until the day before the event.  For details on design and rules<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Indianapolis) – Nyhart, one of the nation’s largest independent actuarial and employee benefits consulting firms, has announced an educational series for CFOs and defined benefit plan sponsors in government and private businesses who currently offer pension benefits. Actuaries will teach pension plan sponsors on the ongoing expenses and costs of defined benefit plans</p>
<p>The series of three seminars, available both as a webinar and in-person as Nyhart’s headquarters in Indianapolis, will be geared to highlight how ongoing regulatory changes and financial factors are impacting the viability of pension benefits.</p>
<p>Sustainability of Costs in Public Pension Plans<br />
Thursday, June 16 at 11 a.m., featuring Actuary Heath Merlak </p>
<p>The liability in public pension plans keep increasing while the government entity supporting the plan is not.  With most public pension plans currently underfunded and operating budgets feeling pressure, where are these plans headed?  Will costs continue to rise?   Will benefit promises need to be revised?</p>
<p>High Pension Costs:  When and Where is the Peak?<br />
Thursday, June 23 at 11 a.m. featuring Actuary John Dowell </p>
<p>For private pension plans that must comply with the funding rules introduced by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, investment performance and interest rate levels drive the contribution requirements.  The collapse of the stock market in 2008 has been followed by extremely low interest rates in 2009 and 2010, increasing costs in nearly all U.S. private pension plans.  How high will they get and when will we get over the hump?</p>
<p>Managing a Frozen Pension Plan – Should Our Strategy Change?<br />
Thursday, June 30 at 11 a.m. featuring Actuary John Dowell </p>
<p>Once benefit accruals are frozen in a pension plan, the game is changed.  The indefinite horizon becomes finite.  If plan termination is the ultimate goal, the desired horizon is likely five years or less.  Should strategic changes be made given this reduced timeframe?</p>
<p>Individuals interested in attending the events in person or via webinar may contact James Burnes at connect@nyhart.com to be added to the invitation list. There is no cost to attend the program. Seating is limited.</p>
