When describing the thought process behind presenting Legacy Planning for Uncertain Times, a financial workshop to be held at Lancaster County Christian School (LCCS), Doctor Sandy Outlar, who works in community relations for the school, turned to John Wesley, Methodist Evangelist and famous theologian, for inspiration.
"'Make all you can, save all you can, and give all you can,'" quoted Outlar. "I think that sums up what we're trying to do." He added, "We want to be maneuvered in God's hands as to what we do with what God has given to us. This (workshop) is meant to be inspirational and informative."
This year's workshop, the second held by LCCS, will take place in the large lobby of the school at 2390 New Holland Pike, Lancaster, on Saturday, March 13, from 9 a.m. to noon.
The workshop will consist of three parts given by presenters who are professional advisers and parents of LCCS students. Estate Planning for Eternity, which will focus on stewardship and leaving a legacy by implementing an estate plan, will be presented by Tim Shawaryn. "Tax Paying With a Purpose" will be presented by Jason McDougall and will explore ways to redirect funds and utilize tax strategies. The final workshop, presented by Lamar King, will be "Investing in Periods of Fear." Material will look at keeping stewardship purposeful in times of uncertainty.
Outlar said that positive feedback from the 2020 workshop, which was attended by more than 50 people, inspired the school to schedule another one. "(Attendees said) they appreciated learning ways to get the most out of investments and provide funding for beloved organizations (they would) like to support," he stated. "There was praise for the quality of the speakers and the content." Outlar added that the upcoming workshop is designed for people who may not have spent much time thinking about estate planning and who might "appreciate getting more out of their money with certain types of investments."
The workshop is free and open to the public, but those wishing to take part are asked to register by calling 717-556-0711, ext. 213, or emailing soutlar@lccs.cc by Wednesday, March 10. A continental breakfast and child care will be provided. More information about the workshop may be found by visiting http://www.lccs.cc.
