We're excited to welcome an expert estate planning attorney to the Silver Linings Senior Expo in Avondale on Saturday, November 8, 2025.

✓ Navigate probate considerations and understand associated costs
✓ Create clear documentation that reflects your wishes
✓ Explore asset protection options
✓ Understand advance directives and decision-making authority
✓ Review power of attorney essentials
✓ Learn about living trusts and common planning gaps

Is This Workshop Right for You?

This session is designed for individuals who:

Want to ensure their estate plan is thorough and up-to-date

Have questions about their current will or trust

Prefer to handle legal matters now rather than leaving them for family members

Value peace of mind for themselves and their loved ones

Event Details

📅 Date: Saturday, November 8, 2025
⏰ Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
📍 Location: Legacy House of Avondale, 2635 North Dysart Road, Avondale, AZ 85392

WHOA! Wait until you hear what Stephanie just told me!

Dr. Dave here, and I just had the COOLEST conversation with Stephanie Beebe from Earlux! You guys, I had NO IDEA how much I was missing until she explained what's really going on with our hearing as we get older.

Plot twist: It's not just about volume!

Stephanie's bringing her whole team to the Silver Linings Senior Expo on August 16th, and get this - they're doing FREE hearing tests right there on the spot! No appointments, no waiting rooms, no awkward sales pitches. Just real answers about what's actually happening with your hearing.

I'm not gonna spoil everything (you HAVE to watch this!), but let's just say... some of you are going to have those "OH, THAT'S why I keep asking people to repeat themselves!" moments.

Mark your calendars RIGHT NOW: Saturday, August 16th 10am - 2pm Legacy House of Mesa - 5625 E McKellips Road, Mesa, Arizona 85215

🎯 HALFWAY THERE - 16 DAYS! 🎯 Margaret Almost Missed the Discovery That Changed Everything...

Last year, Margaret Thompson sat in her Mesa living room, staring at a pile of medical bills and wondering how she'd ever afford the home care her husband needed. She'd heard about some senior expo but thought, "Those things are just sales pitches." She almost didn't go.

But her neighbor insisted: "Just come with me for an hour. What's the worst that could happen?"

That one decision changed everything. At the Silver Linings Senior Expo, Margaret discovered:

* A local transport service that cut her medical appointment costs by 60%
* A Medicare advisor who found her $200 in monthly savings she didn't know existed
* A home care agency offering services at half the price she was quoted elsewhere
* And she won a $500 grocery gift card in the raffle!

"I saved more in one day than I had in the previous six months of research," Margaret told us. "And the connections I made? Priceless."

Your Neighbors Are Already Talking About August 16th...

Right now, people throughout Mesa are marking their calendars, planning their transportation, and calling friends. They remember last year's success stories. They know what Margaret knows: the solutions you need are all in one place, one day.

Don't be the one who says "I wish I had gone" while your neighbors share their discoveries.

Here's What You Need to Do RIGHT NOW:

1. Grab a pen (seriously, stop reading and get one)
2. Circle August 16th on your calendar
3. Write: Silver Linings Senior Expo - Legacy House of Mesa, 10 AM
4. Text at least one friend and ask them to be your expo buddy

Address: Legacy House of Mesa
5625 E McKellips Road
Mesa , AZ 85215

The vendors who understand exactly what you're facing will be there. The solutions you've been searching for will be there. The community connections that make all the difference will be there.

Will you?

BTW... Margaret is volunteering at this year's expo. She wants to personally thank the neighbor who convinced her to attend. Maybe this year, you'll be the one saying thank you.

Did you know Medicare doesn’t cover everything?

Many people are surprised to learn that while Medicare provides important health coverage, it doesn’t cover all your healthcare needs especially as you age.

Here are some key things Medicare does NOT cover:
• Custodial care (help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or eating)
• Assisted living facility costs
• Long-term care in a nursing home
• Dental care (routine cleanings, dentures,
etc.)
• Vision care (glasses, contacts, routine
Exams)
• Hearing aids and exams
• Routine foot care
• Cosmetic procedures
• Most chiropractic care
• Overseas medical expenses

Planning ahead is key. There are options to fill the gaps in Medicare, like long-term care insurance or certain types of life insurance with living benefits.

Have questions? Send me a message. I’m here to help you understand your options and protect what matters most.
