As a parent, there are many things you have to prepare your children for. Teaching them financial responsibility at a young age is one of them. Help them succeed in their future. Teach them today.

As we gather with loved ones and reflect on what matters most, it's the perfect time to plan ahead.

Our Final Wishes Resources help members make thoughtful decisions about end-of-life planning – so your family can focus on celebrating life, not navigating uncertainty.

Ask me how to order yours.

Get your “house” in order and share your late-in-life/end-of-life wishes … or help a loved one with this important task. These guides help members plan, organize and start conversations.

The holidays are a time for joy, gratitude, and connection. One of the most meaningful ways to celebrate is by giving back.

Whether you donate to a local charity, volunteer your time, or simply spread kindness in the community, every act of generosity makes a difference!

Let’s make this season brighter for those who need it most.

At Modern Woodmen, our brand colors tell a story.

In our early days, members would have jewelry decorated with red (representing life, action), white (pure intentions) or green (eternal life) enamel.

Today, our official colors are blue and green, often depicted through sky and land imagery. This expresses our rural roots, while conveying growth and a positive future.

The holidays can be even more cheerful when you know your future is secure. Let's chat about how to plan for your retirement!

Retiring in 2026? Here are three year-end retirement planning tips to help you make the most of your finances before the calendar flips.

1. Maximize retirement contributions. Boost your 401(k), IRA and HSA savings before limits reset!
2. Delay Social Security (if you can). Waiting equals bigger monthly checks later.
3. Review and update your wills, trusts, powers of attorney and health-care directives.

Meet with me to discuss!

It's never too early to get life insurance, and it can be less expensive the younger you are. Contact me today for more information.
