Legal Planning for the Caregiver
As the caregiver of a loved one with special needs or dementia, you need to plan for a time when you are not able to provide that care or predecease them. Who will take care of your loved one? What happens if you are not around to make decisions?
Attorney, Glenn A. Jarrett, principal of Jarrett Law Office, PLC will discuss the positive legal solutions that can be done when you plan properly.
Join us on Wednesday, February 1, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at VNA Grand Way Adult Day Program, Grand Way Commons, 412 Farrell Street, So. Burlington to learn more.
To register, call (802) 862-6610 or email gagner@vnacares.org.

Music at the VNA
January 3, 2012
I was asked to share a few words prior to the Green Mountain Mahler Festival's New Year's Day performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony - recognizable to most of us as the "Ode to Joy" symphony. The second annual celebratory concert again benefited our VNA. I pondered... how to connect music and our agency?
