• Lynn Ballew, Ballew Law Firm LLC, will explain how it is essential to organize your finances by having a power of attorney and making a will.
• Karen Phares, Cass County Monuments, will be answering questions about when to choose your monument, how you may design it to honor your important memories, and how long it takes to complete the memorial.
• Sharon Wallen, Cass County Public Library Genealogy, will have cemetery books from some of the different counties in Missouri for patrons to browse and will give a short talk on the benefits of the website, FindAGrave.
