When Nobody Wants Your Stuff, What Do They Want? In-Person / Online
In this special end-of-year installment of Book Club for Mortals, our facilitator, Mindy Rickard, will reprise her popular talk, When Nobody Wants Your Stuff, What Do They Want? Leaving Your Legacy, Writing an Ethical Will, and Planning for the Future. She'll discuss what you might consider leaving to those you love, rather than all the stuff you've accumulated over the years. Her talk will include ethical wills*, advance directives, and what to do with all that stuff. Bring your questions!
This session will be a presentation and Q&A rather than our usual discussion format.
*Note: This page may have links to paid services, but provides a nice, free description of ethical wills.
About Book Club for Mortals at the Estes Valley Library
This is a book club about aging wisely and well. We read a different book each month, with topics ranging from health to relationships to end-of-life issues, from the practical to the philosophical, and from the serious to the lighthearted. We discuss both fiction and nonfiction. This is a space to have open, honest, thoughtful conversations about interesting books and ideas. Discussions are led by Mindy Rickard, advance care planning advisor and longtime Book Club for Mortals host. The book club meets on the second Thursday of each month, through December.
