In <a href="https://arerelationshipsforsuckers.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Are Relationships for Suckers?</a>, she challenges the myths of fairy-tale romance and reveals the real truth about relationships.

Honest, compassionate, and deeply insightful, this book offers guidance for anyone who has loved, lost, struggled, or wondered if lasting love is still possible.

During today's Memory Café you will:
<ul><li>Be provided a complimentary Kosher lunch for 1 family caregiver and 1 care recipient.</li><li>Enjoy live music</li><li>Connect to our community and receive resources.</li></ul>

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, search for information, and even approach important legal matters. But when it comes to creating a Will, Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy, Trust, or other legal document, is AI really a safe substitute for professional guidance?
Join Russo Law Group for our free webinar, “The Risks of Using AI for Estate Planning”, as we explore the growing use of AI tools for legal documents and the potential risks of relying on technology for your estate planning.

<ul><li>Common risks and limitations of AI-generated legal documents</li><li>Why New York-specific laws and requirements matter</li><li>The importance of considering your unique family, financial, and personal circumstances</li><li>When AI can be a helpful tool and when you should turn to an experienced attorney</li></ul>
