On Monday the 13th, I’ll conduct a webinar for them and the active duty and veterans they support @ 5pm Pacific Time. The Webinar is: 7 Steps to Organize Your Life and will tackle how to go about organizing the important life decisions and the legal documents you need to ensure you and your family are prepared for any emergency.
