Thank you, Bill Solominsky!

Dear Bill,

Thank you for joining our GOOTS group on Monday, October 19, and sharing so much helpful information. You made an important—and sometimes overwhelming—subject feel more manageable.

We especially appreciate your thoughtful checklist for getting our affairs in order and protecting our families from scams. It gives us practical steps we can take now to make things easier for those we love.

Thank you for your time, generosity, and care for our community.

With appreciation,
The GOOTS neighbors

Bill’s handout is available below for anyone who would like to review the checklist or share it with family.
