Preserving Your Legacy -- Steve Cecchetti
Steve Cecchetti, Director of Development for Lutheran Services Florida and a Certified Legacy Advisor has developed this workshop over the past dozen years. Steve believes that everyone's life is a story worth telling. While some of these stories are preserved and passed on for future generations to enjoy and learn from others are lost forever the moment a person passes from this life to the next. This interactive workshop consists of exercises designed to help you recall the stories of your life and then preserve those stories in a way that will be interesting and meaningful for people 50 or 100 years from now to pick up and read.
