Teaching Tuesday: Final Wishes Resources program, available exclusively to Modern Woodmen members. We have two books available: My Life, My Plan workbook and My Life, My Plan a Helper's Guide. The My Life, My Plan workbook helps members get organized and share their final wishes with their loved ones. The easy-to-follow guide breaks end-of-life planning down into manageable, bite-size chunks. Users work through the steps to help get their houses in order, organize their affairs and record their wishes. A perfect resource for members ages 50 and up – or younger members, newlyweds and new parents who want to be proactive! The workbook includes a: • Possessions inventory. • Final-arrangements planner. • Obituary template. • Online accounts document. • Life insurance needs analysis. • Much more! My Life, My Plan – A Helper’s Guide provides advice for members who want to help a parent, spouse, relative or friend prepare his/her final wishes. The guide explains why planning is important and offers tips for holding end-of-life planning conversations – from the helper’s perspective. It also helps prepare members for the eventual loss of a loved one, sharing: • Steps to take after a death. • Tips for handling a loved one’s affairs. • Information about the grief process. • Links to helpful resources. If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out! Note, I am not an attorney and cannot write a will or trust. I do start the conversation and can refer you to the proper people.

Teaching Tueaday: Beaver Dam Pizza Ranch Community Impact Event - Mini Market What is the Mini Market? Kids are having their very own vendor & craft fair! The event is 11am-2pm on Saturday, March 22nd! We would love for you to come support our little entrepreneurs! The kids are working hard to make their items to sell! The Beaver Dam Pizza Ranch is a HUGE supporter of our community! They host Community Impact events for our local non-profits all the time! What do they do exactly? They donate 10% of ALL sales during that time to the non-profit! For the Mini Market, all money raised from the sales and raffle table will be donated to the John Moser Children's Radiothon! What does the radiothon do and where does that money go? It was started by Craig Karmazin in 1998. The Children’s Radiothon raises funds for local non-profit organizations that benefit children in the Dodge County area. Funds are raised throughout the year, and their signature event is the iconic 27-hour on-air auction. With the help of the generous community, the Children’s Radiothon has raised over $2.7 million dollars since 1998. The next radiothon is June 26th & 27th! We would love to see you on the 22nd!
