Prepare for Life’s Changes

It is said that the only guarantees in life are death and taxes, and may we add, change.

Being proactive in the preparation for life’s changes can do a great deal to ease the stress of facing these changes.

Valerie Errante and Elizabeth d’Elsa, will present a talk concerning death and what you can do in advance to prepare yourself, your family and those closest to you. Due to our own experiences, we became aware of these issues and how big and complex they are in so many ways. Everyone, from birth through old age, accumulates documents and records of their lives: what they do and what is provided to them as citizens and through their own circumstances - citizenship/residency, education, work, marital status and family, income, money, taxes, health care, retirement, benefits, insurance, banking and rental/ownership. This adds up to a large amount of information. In addition, as Americans living here, we have to deal with the laws, regulations and requirements of two countries.

What can you do in advance? How do you prepare? How do you find out? We’ve collected, researched and organized information we thought was important. Through it, we hope to offer you orientation and a way of looking into and dealing with these matters.

February Program Meeting 2024

Manfred Kohl, who is AAUPW member Shari Temple's husband, will talk to us about the German Alpenverein. He has been a member for years and is much involved in all it has to offer.
The Alpenverein, with 1.3 million members the world's largest climbing association, was established in 1869 and has continued to the present day. It's "a home for everyone who loves the mountains where members can experience them safely, ecologically and as part of a group - now and in the future." Alongside climbing, hiking, skiing, mountaineering, mountain biking, kayaking and trail maintenance, it offers self-catering huts, climbing gyms and maintains the Alpine Museum on the Praterinsul in Munich. There is a strong focus on habitat conservation and youth work.
Manfred will speak about his own experiences and involvement, what activities are offered, how the Alpenverein is organized and how individuals can get in contact with a branch (Sektor) in their area. He wants to make sure that people are not awed by such a large organization and can find a comfortable contact at a local level. After all, there are so many possibilities for everyone in this incredible organization.
