Local attorney, Frank McClure, spoke to the club about the importance of being proactive and developing an estate plan. Only about 35% of all Americans have established a plan. The simplest plan consists of a will with instructions detailing how a person wants to dispose of his or her estate.

Having a will is important because, if a person dies without a will, the State of Ohio will dispose of that person’s property according to established guidelines determined by the laws of the state. Estate planning can be a complicated process. McClure’s presentation resulted in a lively discussion and answer session as club members wanted to more about the process.

In other business, the club will be moving the location of its meetings. Beginning June 2ed, Byesville Rotary will meet at the Stop Nine Senior Center at 60313 Southgate Road, Byesville.

The club is hosting a Rotary Scholarship Fund golf outing on Sunday, May 17, at the Wildfire Golf Course in New Concord. There is still time to register a team. Call Trent Black, 685-2525, or Trevor Black, 685-9999, for more information.
