Time: 10:00 - 10:30 AM
Program: Estate Planning
Speaker: Mike Wells, Attorney at Law
We are honored to welcome Mike Wells, Attorney at Law, as our guest speaker for this meeting to provide valuable insights into Estate Planning. While many of us may feel confident that our estate plans are already in place, attending this session could either give you full assurance or reveal additional steps you might need to take.
This information is also relevant for adult children, friends, or neighbors who may benefit from learning more about estate planning. We encourage you to invite them to join us for this portion of the general meeting.
According to Google, 45% of U.S. adults have created some estate planning documents. Without even a simple will or living trust, much of your legacy is left up to the courts. This can keep your loved ones from inheriting the property you want to leave them.
Mike has been a trusted advisor to clients for over 30 years. He concentrates his practice in the areas of estate planning, estate administration, elder law planning, complex civil litigation, workers’ compensation, personal injury, and fiduciary litigation.

Program: Chinese New Year
Speaker: Eileen Lynch
Eileen Lynch is back with us again this year to share her knowledge and love of the Chinese New Year. Eileen first began giving presentations in her children’s school classes, and as her audience grew, so did her passion for sharing these traditions with others. She will talk about each zodiac sign and its horoscope for the year, as well as traditional celebrations surrounding the Chinese New Year.
The Chinese year 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse. This exciting year is known for its amplified energy, passion, and dynamism -- a mix of the Horse’s spirited nature and the bold influence of the Fire element. It stands for freedom, adventure, and strong forward motion, bringing both wonderful opportunities and the potential for a bit of spirited conflict. Please join us afterward for a special lunch celebrating Chinese culture at New Sichuan, 2125 Silas Creek Parkway, Winston-Salem.

Program: Book Club Discussion & Brunch Potluck
Presenter: Cathy Dillon
Join us for a relaxed and engaging morning as we enjoy delicious dishes and dive into a thoughtful conversation about the extraordinary friendship between Eleanor Roosevelt and Mary McLeod Bethune. Whether you’ve finished the book or are still reading, your insights and company are welcome!
The First Ladies is a historical fiction novel that reimagines the extraordinary friendship and partnership between First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights leader Mary McLeod Bethune. Set from the late 1920s through the 1940s, the story follows how these two formidable women—from very different backgrounds—meet and form a bond rooted in shared commitments to women’s rights, education, and racial justice.
Potluck Note: Please bring your favorite brunch dish to share—sweet, savory, or somewhere in between. We have no post-meeting lunch scheduled. We look forward to a lovely gathering full of food, friendship, and great conversation!
