[Thespiritexpress] Fwd: A community forum to make a plan for the best possible old-er age

[Jima Abbott]

From Carlie,….I believe I can not hide from my responsibility to take care of this body I am blessed with.  Miracles do happen, but good planning is my “insurance” policy.  Hope to see some of you at this seminar which has been skillfully organized by some really good qualified community members.

> We are delighted to announce our next free event. We’ve assembled a volunteer panel of local experts to discuss the many services that are (and are not) available. We will provide participants with a checklist aimed at reducing overwhelm, one topic at a time. Looking at the ways we can live well and safely in our own homes is job number one. From legal, to medical, social and “death with dignity”, we hope to learn how to handle our affairs and support each other. With guidance, we can be truly prepared, which is the best legacy we can lead to those we love.
