Ethical Wills: How To Pass Along Your Most Important Assets
Thursday, June 19
2pm
FTJ Wellness Center
Wealth purposefully transferred from one generation to the next is not limited to your material assets. Some of your greatest wealth resides within you and is too valuable to be lost. An Ethical Will is an excellent and easy way to share this wealth. Join Sara Elward to explore what an Ethical Will is and is not and take some initial steps towards creating one. Transfering your values and beliefs to those you love is just as important as transferring your financial assets.
 
To participate in the Holistic Wellness programs you must be a FTJ Wellness member.

Holistic Wellness Program

“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease." ~ World Health Organization

FTJ has an exciting and innovative opportunity to bring awareness to Holistic Wellbeing! Holistic Wellness addresses our body as a whole. This approach is key to longevity and maintaining independence as we age. Our unique program focuses on mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental, vocational, and social/cultural wellbeing.  

Programs offered through Holistic Wellness are provided by contractors, specialist, organizations and people from the Tacoma Community as well as Wellness Community Members and Residents who have a skill, talent, knowledge or expertise they want to share. These passionate people are invited to share their knowledge on a wide array of Holistic Health and Wellness topics. 

Participation is limited to FTJ residents and Wellness members. For more information or to RSVP please contact Sarah Doerner at 253-756-3241 or at sdoerner@franketobeyjones.com. For the monthly class calendar go to https://www.franketobeyjones.com/community/events/program-calendars/.
