Join us for a groovy evening of cocktails, including non-alcoholic, at Tattersall Distilling!

In addition to developing legal and living wills, many people find it important to leave to their heirs and friends a document that shares their values and beliefs. This "legacy" might include statements of faith, comments about important day-to-day practices, and a record of their ethical beliefs and values. Ted Bowman, a family educator and writer, will provide examples of such written or oral legacies and will guide us in beginning to form our own. Susan Hartman and Toni Rosen host.
