Estate Planning 101
We have the right to have a say in what treatment we do or do not want, who we want to speak for us, who we want to manage our financial affairs and to whom we want our estate to go when we die. Having the proper documents in order will help assure that our wishes may be honored.
Join Jerry Gimmel, a Montgomery County estate planning attorney and longtime Hospice Caring Board Member, and Debbie Rankin, a Philanthropic Advisor for Wells Fargo Philanthropic Services for a workshop on
Estate planning 101
on Thursday, April 21, 2016 from 7 to 9 pm at the Hospice Caring Cottage. Whether you know it or not, YOU have an estate!
This offering is part of Hospice Caring's Seasons of Caring Community Education Series.

Memorial Day Flags
Each year on Memorial Day weekend, Bohrer Park in Gaithersburg (the home of the Hospice Caring Cottage) is filled with 750 American flags that are sponsored by community members who wish to remember or honor their heroes. This project is led by the Montgomery Village and Gaithersburg Rotary Clubs, and this year they have generously selected Hospice Caring as a partner. If you wish to sponsor one or more flags at $50 each, please use
this form
so that 50% of your contribution will go to Hospice Caring and the other 50% will go to the Montgomery Village and Gaithersburg Rotary Club Foundation for other charitable activities. Each flag will be identified with the donor's name and the name of their hero. We are grateful to the Rotary Clubs for selecting us as a partner. For more information, visit www.flagsforourheroes.org.
