ARE YOU DOING ENOUGH? Estate Planning is an ongoing process, it’s never done. Here are some clues that you haven’t done enough:
ONE - You don’t have a Will or Powers of Attorney in place. These legal documents are the foundation of every estate plan. TWO - You’re not thinking about the “Why”. Your legacy is the bigger story about the values and traditions that you are passing on. THREE - You’re relying on dangerous assumptions “We always thought he’d die first.” “The kids will be able to figure it out.” Assumptions like these create blindspots and mean we are not prepared for a wider range of possible outcomes. Brown Lawyers are purposeful planners taking clients on a journey that will last far beyond their own years. Write your own last chapter. CONTACT BROWN LAWYERS TO BOOK A CONSULTATION TODAY!

The Woolcott Team
ANNUAL COAT DRIVE
Costa Rica
By Leslie Styles
It was another successful coat drive held by The Woolcott Team which took place in the parking lot of their new office on Dundas. As always, coffee, hot chocolate and doughnuts were served to everyone who came out and donated their gently used coats and winter wear for the Good Shepherd Centre in Hamilton. The Woolcott’s also accepted kitchen items such as pots, pans, bowls and flatware to name a few. The Woolcott Team would like to extend a huge thank you to the entire community who have come out to support this worthwhile cause year after year.

The Culinary Showdown! - Cynthia Milburn, CEO
Epilepsy South Central Ontario hosted its inaugural Culinary Showdown at the Oakville Convention Centre with SMEG as the sponsor. The Culinary Showdown included an all-star lineup of famous Celebrity Chefs who were joined by the top fifty fundraisers for an action-packed day and evening. The day began with a cooking school for the fundraisers as they moved from the five stations, learning some of the tricks of the trade by celebrity chefs, Claudio Aprile, Massimo Capra, Mary Berg, Alvin Leung, and Michael Smith. The evening was a fast-paced MasterChef-style competition, hosted by John O’Hurley and with Team Claudio Aprile taking home the coveted trophy. All proceeds will help the important services and support provided by the Epilepsy SCO.
HOT OFF THE PRESS… next year’s date for the Culinary Showdown is November 24, 2020. Mark your calendars now for this incredible event.

SANTA Arrives in Style By Leslie Styles
In keeping with the city’s tradition, Santa arrived by helicopter at Burlington Centre Mall this past November among hundreds of eager fans. The chopper circled in the air several times, creating lots of excitement before finally landing to the delight of the crowd. Led by the Redcoats Teen Band, Jolly Old Saint Nicholas made his way through the crowds and then into the mall to meet with all the youngsters who were eagerly waiting to speak with him and get their picture taken. Santa will be at his workshop in the mall until December 24th. Please see burlingtoncentre.ca for information on Santa hours.
Salvation Army’s
KETTLE KICKOFF By Leslie Styles / Photography by David Joubarne
Game on! 99-year old Lil Utman dropped the puck at center ice to begin the 2019 Salvation Army’s Kettle Kickoff at Appleby Ice Centre on November 15th. This also began Friday night’s game between Burlington Cougars and the Georgetown Raiders. Accompanying Lil to centre ice was a crew of Salvationists and Salvation Army supporters including Major Jacobs, the Downhams, Fire Chief Lazenby, Deputy Mayor Kelvin Galbraith, Kettle Coordinator Laura Oros and son Daniel. Lil, who will celebrate her 100th birthday next June, is the Army’s number one soldier having helped start up the church in 1967. Remarkably, she participates with the choir, organizes square dancing nights, volunteers for the Kettles and also finds time to cheer on the Ticats, Blue Jays and Leafs.

Waterdown’s Santa Claus
Parade By Leslie Styles
It was a frosty November evening on in beautiful downtown Waterdown as they held their annual Christmas parade. As always, spectators set up lawn chairs along the parade route and brought blankets and hot drinks to keep warm while they watched an impressive display of floats and marching bands. Children’s eyes were alive with Christmas spirit as the lights on the floats danced and sparkled against the black backdrop of the night. For the finale, jolly old St. Nicholas waved to the crowds of kiddies who had been anxiously awaiting his arrival. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
