As women, we tend to spend much of our time caring for others. Planning ahead for life's inevitable rough spots is one of the best ways we can care for ourselves and the ones we love. Join us for a free estate, financial, and end-of-life planning event designed especially for women. We will address specific financial and estate planning issues that affect women, tactics to plan ahead for life's challenges, and tools for women to build and protect savings. The advice and resources will be given by local female professionals. A complimentary continental breakfast will be included. Click to register.

The free Winter Remembrance Concert is a family-friendly holiday concert that will include music from numerous winter holiday traditions and time to honor loved ones who have died. We invite all to partake in the merriment of music during the holidays and to name the loss felt acutely during the holidays as we recognize together that it’s ok to share in joy and feel grief simultaneously.
