Part three of the Women and Wealth series. Did you know that the average age of widowhood is 59, and the life-expectancy gap is widening. Women live, on average, 5.8 years longer than men. Approximately 90% of women will manage their wealth on their own at some point in their lives. At Modern Woodmen of America we are passionate about providing financial tools and representation for all people. If you or someone you know feels like they may be a part of this statistic, I would love to have a conversation and help you plan for this amazing stewardship opportunity. #TheGreatWealthTransfer

On Saturday, August 29, District Agent Chris Howard and Managing Partner Wally Bowden were honored to present the Hometown Hero Awards for our St. Augustine/Palm Coast chapter to Melissa Fulling and Mark Mistie. Melissa is the founder of the Live Like Cameron charity helping families dealing with childhood cancer in their community. Mark is an entrepreneur force in the Palm Coast area and is deeply involved in giving back to multiple non-profits in his community. Not only did Modern Woodmen honor these two individuals but they are making a donation on their behalf to Live Like Cameron charity and also provided $500 worth of comfort supplies that will be used to serve the children in their community battling cancer. What a wonderful evening it was!
