The special guest was Menai Hughes from Department of Ste- wardship Service, United Church of Canada" from Elora, who intro- duced a video "Where there's a Will" with Charlie Farquharson. The humorous video opened the discussion on the need for everyone to have a will properly written and witnessed so that the disposition of property and the care of loved ones is properly carried out as the de- ceased intended! The group was re- minded that today persons live longer and families are often well established without great financial needs as in past 'generations. This fact allows a person to will gifts to areas of one's special interest such as the church. The suggested meth- ods were a gift in the will; ora life insurance policy willed to the spe- cial interest; or an annuity gifted during one's lifetime which would give an individual income until death. Literature on personal records, wills, will Manning. life insurance and annutues was left for the Mp. ary Brintnell presented Hughes with a gift. Lorna Champman and Beatrice Munn served refreshments.
