Special Events
Free Coffee!
Thursday, February 16th, 9:30 am
Learn more about how you can become a member the Senior Legacy Society.
Want to Leave a Legacy?
Promoting planned gifts & benefiting the Senior Center mission for
generations to come is the core purpose of our Foundation’s "Senior
Legacy Society". This is currently a group of 27 people (plus 3 who
are deceased) who have seen fit to have the Senior Center Foundation named
as a beneficiary in their will or estate plan.
You are invited to a free coffee on Thursday, Feb. 16th at 9:30 am in
the Dining Room to learn more about how you can become a member the Senior
Legacy Society.
Many of us are aware that the baby boomers are now becoming senior citizens...
but were you aware of the huge generational transfer of wealth that is
taking place across America as wealth, property and possessions are handed
down from one generation to the next?
In order to make sure your accumulated wealth is going where you want
it to go after passing on, a thoughtful, prepared and organized plan is
needed regardless of your prosperity. Typically wills & estate plans
are the prime ways to chart out your bequests & inheritances. You
should work with a qualified professional who will carry out your wishes
so the funds you have devoted a lifetime accumulating will make the difference
you intend.
Here is some basic information: Wills & estate plans are designed
primarily to take care of family members & dependents after your passing.
Wills & bequests afford many opportunities as vehicles for transferring
your wealth & reducing tax liabilities. Planned gifts present an excellent
opportunity for donors to ‘Leave a Legacy’ to nonprofit organizations.
As always, contact Development Director, Dean Stenehjem at 424-6406, or
via email
if you have any questions.
