Times Change… Have Your Plans? One of the few things certain in today’s environment is change. Change affects everyone and adapting to it can be both challenging and rewarding. Take a moment to think about some of the many changes that can affect us at various times in life: a change in marital status, retirement, a new job, a move to another state, children growing up and leaving home. When any of these circumstances occur, you may find it wise to make sure your financial and estate plans still meet your needs. To request our free booklet, “Planning for the Future,” contact Ann Clark, director of development, at 800-359-6900, ext. 510, or at aclark@prairiepublic.org.
Please remember Prairie Public Broadcasting in your will, trust, or general estate plans.
