Pizza and Preplanning

By: Jeff Mardling
Wednesday, October 12, 2022

We are back! As consistent as the seasons change, we are excited to be holding our in-person seminars again on funeral and estate planning. Last month, several of our neighbours met for an informative talk from a local lawyer and myself about the benefits of being prepared. We enjoyed some pizza, salad and a great discussion about sparing your family many decisions and arrangements left behind.  It’s all about being prepared; made simply.  If you have been burdened for some time now to ask some questions or how to start, please join local lawyer Jason Mallory and I on Wednesday, October 19th, 2022 at the Willow Ridge Golf & Country Club at 6:00 P.M.  This FREE 90-minute pizza & information evening is the perfect way to begin to have all your questions and details organized.  Go to our website to register by clicking the banner on the homepage or simply call 519-674-3141 to register for this free evening of community, food, and information.
