 Does the whole idea of "estate planning" seem a little off-putting to you? Don't let the legal terminology fool you. Estate planning doesn't have to be difficult, expensive, or depressing. Come to a Living Wills Clinic at the Gordon Cooper Branch Library on Thursday, February 25 at 6:30 p.m. to learn about the basics of estate planning. Estate planning is something you do for your family. Get it done, and you'll feel better knowing that you've taken care of them. This free clinic is hosted by Alpine Legal Services.
