Guest Speaker Series: Leigh Cooper, All About Freewill.com
Monday, April 8, 1-2 PM

A will is a legal document that spells out your wishes for after you’re gone. It’s something everyone should have, even if you don’t feel like you have an “estate” or something to pass on. LightHouse has partnered with a company to offer free will writing software to our community. FreeWill.com makes it easy to make a plan for your future and, if you choose, for the future of LightHouse. LightHouse grant writer Leigh Cooper will share the ins and outs of using the service and and field your questions. To RSVP, contact Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316.
