Estate Planning September 29th – Every day, we are bombarded by multiple sources telling us how to plan for the future as we age–friends, social media, printed material, radio ads, and online articles with different recommendations. While well-intentioned, most of that advice is misleading or just plain wrong. Join attorney Timothy Babcock for a presentation on navigating myth from fact regarding estate planning and Medicaid.

Treat trade will be held on October 6th, where we will be sharing and sampling your delectable treats and recipes with others in the group.
