Legacy Society members all have one thing in common. They have included a gift to us in estate plans through one of these vehicles:

  • Will

  • Life insurance policy
  • Individual Retirement Account or other retirement plan
  • As a Legacy Society member you are invited to fun special events. You can choose to be recognized publicly or remain anonymous.
