A tour of the NPS is optional (dependent on weather). \nPlease meet in the lower level conference room at the Farley Center. \nJanie Strutt’s Presentation \nMy daughter\, Morgan\, was born with Spina Bifida\, and this led me to become passionate about working with children and adults with special needs. Specifically\, adults and children who require guardians or advocates to make health\, financial\, personal care\, housing\, and other big life decisions on their behalf. Tragically\, we recently experienced the unexpected loss of Morgan on October 15th. As devastating as this has been\, it has also served as a wake-up call for my family. We realized that we hadn’t adequately planned for the event of Morgan’s passing before our own. We were so focused on her death proceeding ours that we lost sight of her proceeding our death. We had put in place our trusts\, a special needs trust\, guardianship\, life insurance on us to leave to her future care and thought we had been so thorough. We missed so much planning like\, funeral expenses\, passwords\, time off work to grieve\, and so much more. \nThis experience has only fueled my dedication and provided more clarity to helping families plan\, particularly those with loved ones who require special considerations. I have forged partnerships with many business professionals and non-profit organizations to ensure that we take a holistic approach to protection and answers on where to find services. From our experience first-hand I know how important it is to plan as much in advance. Planning for now and the future with regards to a special-needs trust\, guardianship\, funeral expenses\, bank accounts\, life insurance\, housing\, care and everything in between\, I am committed to offering comprehensive guidance and support. There are countless facets to consider when it comes to safeguarding families\, and it takes a collaborative effort to navigate those complexities. I am here to advocate for those who need it most and provide peace of mind in the face of life’s uncertainties. \nJanis is an American Family Insurance agent with a passion for helping individuals and families who have children and adults with disabilities. \nPlease RSVP to programs@farleycenter.org \nwww.naturalpathsanctuary.org URL:http://naturalpathsanctuary.org/event/nep-presentation-3-19-24/ LOCATION:Farley Center for Peace\, Justice & Sustainability\, 2299 Spring Rose Rd.\, Verona\, WI\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://naturalpathsanctuary.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/e-nps-presentation-3-19-24.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240303T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240303T143000 DTSTAMP:20260621T081254 CREATED:20240301T032523Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240301T032523Z UID:2842-1709470800-1709476200@naturalpathsanctuary.org SUMMARY:FULL/Waitlist: Farley Center Reusable Beeswax Wrapper Workshop with Jeanne Meier DESCRIPTION:March 3\, 2024 \nEVENT IS FULL AS OF 2/14/24 – WAITLIST ONLY \n \nReusable Beeswax Wrapper Workshop with Jeanne Meier \n \nJoin Natural Path Sanctuary Board Chair Jeanne Meier on March 3 from 1-2:30 p.m. at the Farley Center for a workshop on creating reusable beeswax wraps.
