Seminar: Legacy Planning for Your Final Transition • AGES 40 AND UP

Seminar: Your Guide to Travel Independence with RTA • AGES 40 AND UP

Planning for the final transition, whether for yourself or for someone you love, is a deeply personal and often emotional process. Thoughtful planning is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give yourself and those you care about. It provides direction, reduces uncertainty, and creates a sense of comfort during life’s most challenging moments. It involves more than organizing documents. It’s about honoring wishes, preserving dignity, and easing the responsibilities that fall on family during an already difficult time. Join this seminar to learn about beginning the conversation early, exploring planning tools such as secure digital vaults, and seeking support when you need it. Whether you are preparing in advance or navigating arrangements after a loss, resources are available to help you feel informed and supported. While this is a free event, registration is required.

For many families, that bill quietly drains a lifetime of savings and puts the family home at risk. The good news is that you have more options than most people think, and the best ones are available years before you ever need care. Estate planning attorney Brandon Ayers will walk you through how Illinois families protect what they have built. You will learn how a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust works, why the five-year look-back matters, and what can still be done when a parent or spouse needs care right now. We will keep it plain. No legal jargon, just clear answers to the questions families actually ask. Although this is a free presentation, registration is required.

Join us to learn how to identify common warning signs of charitable scams and gain a better understanding of the difference between tax-deductible and tax-exempt organizations so you can give with confidence.

Technology help sessions are offered in person or virtually to help seniors overcome fears and get their technology questions answered. The program is instructed by informed and helpful student volunteers from the Neuqua Valley High School Interact Service Club who work with you at your own pace. Each class will center around your specific tech-related needs that can include browsing the internet, using Google services, operating Apple or Android smartphones/devices, using Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint or any number of other tech skills. Some participants may need only a single session, while others may need more. After participating in an in-person session you can set up one-hour virtual sessions offered on a flexible schedule (times to be worked out between the participant and the student volunteers). Make sure your phone number and email address on file are updated, so our students do not have any issues contacting you. This free program meets in D210 at Neuqua Valley High School.
