THE LEGACY CHALLENGE….PASS IT ON WITH EASE!

Do you know if your….

Estate plan documents are up to date? Wills, living trusts, financial power of

attorney, durable power of attorney for health care, insurance beneficiaries.

Develop a road map that will navigate your Christian estate plan after you have

been called to your eternal home. Review your plan at least every 5 years.

Check that your bank accounts are payable on death. Your immediate family

will need financial resources to continue paying ongoing bills and debts. Each

account has a payable on death provision that transfers to the person you

designate.

Create a master list of every financial asset and obligation. A Lifetime Plan for

Giving survey accomplishes that task. Once done, review annually for changes.

Communicate and update. File your estate documents, insurance policies,

investments, master list of assets and obligations in your home safe.

Timing is everything – don’t wait for a crisis—plan for the worst and pray for the best!

For assistance in reviewing your estate plan documents, contact Ray Pagels at 847-226-

RETIREMENT ANNOUNCED Mrs. Joan Fack has announced her intent to retire at the end of the school year, after 22

years serving in our school office as “Bookkeeper - and more.” She has served our school

and church as a faithful steward and accountant, of course, but the “more” has been so

valuable to us as well! Joan has been in the office every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,

and may have been your first contact in the office when calling or visiting the school. In

addition, she’s cared for countless students in the Health Room, has been a liaison between

church and school while she served on the Assimilation Team, and currently volunteers with

Breakfast with Baby. Joan’s thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and team approach will be

missed a great deal! If you would like to offer well-wishes, a box for cards will be in the

school office and at church, marked “Thank you, Mrs. Fack.” You may also send them to the

school in care of Saint Paul School 18 S. School Street Mount Prospect, IL 60056.

History Camp was developed by trained educators and is overseen by Lindsay Rice, the

"It's a fun way to showcase the history of our community so kids can learn about it in a

hands-on, interactive way."

History Camp sessions will run from 9 a.m. to noon. Cost is $100 per camper, per week.

Space is limited, so don’t miss this exciting opportunity! Reservations may be made through

the Society's web-site at www.mtphist.org/hisotry-camp-2019/ or by calling the Society at

committed to preserving the history of Mount Prospect, Illinois, through artifacts,

photographs and both oral and written memories of current and former residents and

businesspeople. On its campus in the heart of the Village, the Society maintains the
