Hope this can be useful:
 
dos or do īs
1. A statement of what should be done: a list of the dos and don īts of management.
2. Informal An entertainment; a party: attended a big do at the embassy.
 
dos and donīts
rules about what you must do and what you must not do in a particular situation In the back of the guide thereīs a list of the dos and donīts of local etiquette.
 
Maybe it can refer to a retirement party or the obligations related to retirement.

What unit is the text in? I have the books, as well as the Active Teach software, but would need to see the vocabulary in the context it is used.

DOS also stands for Department of State. Does that fit your context?

Parties or celebrations. When people retire, they have a īdo �.

A lot of people put in the apostrophe with the plural  - doīs - but it isnīt necessary. Just as we really donīt need an apostrophe with the 1980s.

@ cunliffe: You are, without a shadow of doubt, as smart and equally supportive. Unfortunately, you have also to recognise  new cunliffe that you are handsomer, but alas not as beautiful as our old cunliffe.
