Journaling with Joy
Friday, June 12
9:00 to 11:30 am
$5, Limited to 10 participants

Journaling with Joy is a creative, hands-on workshop that blends the healing power of gratitude with playful self-expression. Maintaining a regular gratitude practice can reduce symptoms of depression, decrease feelings of stress and anxiety, contribute to overall well-being and happiness, and it’s also just plain fun! In this workshop, we will journal not just with words, but also with images, photos, stickers, doodles, colored paper, inspiring quotes, and more. Just bring a special-to-you lined or unlined notebook or purchase one at the start of class from a selection that will be provided by the facilitator, Sharon. She will also be providing the rest of the materials! No experience necessary.

Mass Bar Elder Law Event
w/ Attorney Gina M Barry Esq
Friday, June 5
1:00 to 2:30 pm

Approximately 43% of all Americans will be admitted to a nursing home during their lifetimes. Given that the average yearly cost of nursing home care is $156,000, planning for this need is crucial, as long term care costs will deplete your nest egg at an alarming rate. Planning ahead will mean the difference between spending your nest egg to finance your care and preserving your nest egg for your family. This presentation will explain the rules associated with obtaining government benefits to pay for nursing home level care and the most common planning op- tions for preserving assets for your family. We will also take some time to talk about the four basic estate planning documents that everyone should have.
