You should always review your estate plan whenever you have a birth, death, marriage or divorce in your family or a significant change in your finances. However, recent changes to Michigan and Federal laws may also dictate that you need to make changes in your plan. This seminar is presented by Gary F. Allen, a Northville Estate Planning attorney with more than 30 years of experience. Some of the new laws to be discussed include: New estate tax law eliminates the need for complicated credit shelter trusts, which in turn will get rid of the need to file a trust tax return after death of first spouse each year and will provide a second “step up in basis.” New Healthcare Power of Attorney laws permits mental health provisions. New Michigan property transfer law effective Dec 31, 2014 permits your children to inherit your home without losing the homestead property exemption. New Durable Power of Attorney law requires your agent to sign an acknowledgement. New IRS ruling only allows one IRA rollover per year.

Al is partnering with Northville Senior Services and will be providing speakers on a variety of interesting and helpful topics. Unique Street Names: The Man on the Street (and Women, too!) Many towns have an Elm Street, Washington Boulevard, or Second Avenue. Setting Detroit apart are the recognizable names of streets like Woodward, Beaubien, Mount Elliot and Selden. Behind each of these monikers is a man or woman who played a part in Detroit’s past. This unique presentation uses everyday street signs to explore the 300 years of Detroit’s history, and the story of the people whose legacy is traversed by citizens everyday. P R O G R A M S Speaker: Bob Sadler is Director of Marketing & Sales for the Detroit Historical Society, which operates the Detroit Historical Museum in the Cultural Center and the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle and maintains the City of Detroit’s collection of historical artifacts. Established in 1921, the Detroit Historical Society’s mission is to educate and inspire our community and visitors by preserving and portraying our region’s shared history through dynamic exhibits and experiences.

It is full of helpful tips and easy recipes that have been compiled through the years by several dedicated Hospice of Michigan volunteers. Enjoy! Many have asked about the recipes that were prepared and shared by Kim Fix from Hospice of Michigan. HOM has given us permission to reprint a few from their cookbook, “A Meal for Me.” Hearty Breakfast 1 slice whole grain, whole wheat bread 1 slice cheddar, mozzarella or Swiss cheese Toast bread in toaster or toaster oven. Turn cheese on top, and place on a small baking sheet. Broil or bake until cheese melts. (Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn.) Add one slice of fried bacon or bacon bits, if desired. Put over cheese before broiling. Fruit Smoothie 1 cup plain yogurt (or 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/2 cup milk) 1 cup frozen or fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, blueberries, mangos or whatever) 1 tablespoon rose water (optional, but try it for a delicious change. You’ll love it!) 2 tablespoons honey (optional—to make this a bit healthier, add a scoop of protein powder, which can be purchased at any health food store or peanut butter powder available in many grocery stores) Put all ingredients into the blender, blend until smooth. This smoothie stores very well in the refrigerator for a snack later. R E C I P E S Hearty Macaroni and Cheese 1 serving macaroni and cheese (consider using whole grain or organic options) 1/2 can tuna fish in water (drained), or a single-serve package of shredded chicken, ground beef, turkey or a meat substitute 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, mustard or relish Cooked vegetables (broccoli, carrots) Mix all ingredients together. Heat in a microwave-safe bowl and serve. Be sure to store the leftover tuna in an airtight container and use within a few days for a tuna salad or sandwich. 7 A Century of Jazz Song The vocal jazz stylings of Leslie Mason backed up by her husband, guitarist Jesse Lee Mason, will be presented at an afternoon concert at the Northville Community Center on Thursday, August 27.
