Leave your own legacy to the environment!

Part of Alberta Ecotrust's overall mission is to create a sustainable support system for volunteer-driven environmental initiatives in years to come. 

To this end, Alberta Ecotrust is proud to participate in Leave A Legacy™ Calgary, a community-based awareness campaign to encourage people to provide for the charities they love when arranging their financial and estate plans. We would like to invite you to their upcoming Spring 2004 Legacy Seminar Series on May 10 and 11 to assist individuals in planning their wills -- ensuring their loved ones are protected and understanding the process and the benefits of leaving a lasting legacy to their favourite charities.

Similar events in past years have attracted close to 1000 people who have participated in the seminars and talked with the numerous local charities and financial advisors on-site. We invite you to come to the event and discover how easy, and how satisfying, planning your legacy gifts can be.

Alberta Ecotrust will have a display at each session, and we hope you will stop by and introduce yourself.

DATES: Monday, May 10 and Tuesday, May 11, 2004 
TIMES: Three sessions daily at 1:30 pm, 5:00 pm and 7:30 pm
LOCATION: Red & White Club, McMahon Stadium
 (on Crowchild Trail north of 16th Avenue NW)
COST: This is a FREE public service event


Please RSVP by May 3 to Wanda Spooner at 209-2245 or wspooner@albertaecotrust.com
