Generational WealthAvoiding the Three Reasons Families Fail to

Transfer Generational Wealth

In 1776, Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith penned one of the most influential books on economics and wealth, The

Wealth of Nations. In his magnum opus, Adam Smith found it nec-essary to lament on the failure of families to successfully preserve generational wealth ... “Riches in spite of the most violent regula-tions to prevent their dissipation, very seldom remain long in the same family.”

Michael Miller from Capital Planning, will explore some of the root causes for the systemic failure that threatens generational wealth and what separates successful families from those that fail to preserve their family wealth.

You will be provided with an elegant framework that can be adopted and customized for your own family as well as valuable tips on how to apply some of the secrets to generational wealth preservation.

2017-2018 Flu Season How to Stay Healthy

By George Gey, MD and Jeanette Dunn, RN, EdD

This year the CDC is recommending Influenza vaccinations for 65+ year-old persons who have no contraindications, such as

egg allergy and/or severe reactions to flu vaccines. There are new vaccines which are not produced in eggs.

There is a nasal spray with four attenuated viruses (a quadri-valent vaccine). The evaluation of the attenuated flu virus vaccine used during the 2015-2016 flu season was only 3% effective in preventing flu illness and therefore is no longer recommended for this coming flu season.

The new quadrivalent dead virus vaccine includes A/Michigan (H1N1), A/Hong Kong (H3N2), B/Brisbane, and B/Phuket. You can check with your health care provider which vac-cine is recommended for you. Having a flu shot each year helps to maintain your resistance.

Remember the flu virus changes with each flu season. Prevention is even more important at the end of the season. There is a new digital immune-assay and a rapid nucleic amplification test which can identify viruses. It takes only a 5-30 minute process. Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives.

A website that offers epidemiological information for your area is: www.Flunearyou.org, if you are interested. It may be important to avoid areas where large numbers of people congre-gate when flu is prevalent.

Remember to cover your cough and stay home if you have flu symptoms, call your health care provider. v
