In honor of Veterans Day, volunteer attorneys through the Grand Traverse-Leelanau-Antrim Bar
Association will once again provide free estate-planning services to veterans as part of the annual Wills for Veterans program.

• A Durable Power of Attorney
• A Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care/Designation of Patient Advocate, with assistance graciously provided by volunteers from Munson Healthcare

LaSusa, founder and coordinator, Wills for Veterans

The program brings together local attorneys and other volunteers who donate their time and professional services in recognition of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Join LTC environmental education staff at the Charlevoix Public Library for an evening with one of northern Michigan’s most iconic and least often seen mammals. By November, black bears are moving toward their dens and their bodies are undergoing a remarkable physiological transformation. We’ll follow a bear’s year from spring emergence through the frenzied hyperphagia of fall, exploring how they read and move through the same forests, wetlands, and ridgelines that define the landscape LTC works to protect.
