A letter from the Director General Hi, At the time of penning this missive this quarter, we are all anxiously looking forward to the England v Croatia game and the Society, along with the rest of England wish our lads all the very best in their quest to bring football home. Hey, it’s the summer, just a couple of weeks before schools break up and the summer holidays get properly underway, a time when families look to holidaying both home and abroad. But its also a time to reflect on those we have lost in the past year. Unfortunately, holiday times, whether it is summer, Christmas or at any other time, the unforeseen happens and the consequences can change lives forever. In our business there is never a right time to approach the subject of death, serious illness or other issues that can and will affect us all. But from a professional viewpoint, I urge members not to think too negatively about promotions, talking to people and reminding them that, whilst we cannot stop these things happening, we can help through 2 The Society of Will Writers these periods by proper planning. That said, lets lighten the mood, football going well, tennis, well I have no idea, BBQ’s annoying the neighbours but on one point on this day the twelve Thai boys and their coach were finally rescued from the caves in Thailand, so what a brilliant end to this day and let’s hope there will be many more great days. Have a great, safe and happy summer. Brian W Mcmillan Director General The Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners
