AboutFace Newsletter - September 2011

September 2011 - Vol. 9, ISS. 3

Greetings! It's that time of year again - BACK TO SCHOOL! As we role into September, it's time for the Fall AboutFace newsletter.

Summer was a busy time here at AboutFace. We launched two new programs - the Adult Retreat and the Leadership Expedition, both being a tremendous success. We also had our annual Leap of Faith event and our annual Golf Classic event. With that, we are now officially in Camp Trailblazers mode!

We're also excited to announce a new fundraising event we have coming up on October 28 - Face Your Fear. You can learn more about the event under "Upcoming Events", but let us ask- is walking around the outside ledge of the CN Tower on your bucket list?

Enjoy!

Financial Planning

by Richard Jefferson an active AboutFace member

Some people may figure this is the last thing you would think about, but there is more to it than you may realize. Financial planning is not just about planning for retirement, but rather looking at the overall picture of your financial health. There may be a lot of expenses in helping a child or person with a facial difference and with everything else going on, taking a little time regarding financial planning can help set your mind at ease. read more »

Leave a Legacy

47% of Canadians do not have a properly prepare Will, are you one of the?

Without a Will, the government will make the decisions about how your estate is distributed for you. Think about the people and organizations which are important to you - how would you like to remember them in your Will? read more »
