Hello to all, as this year comes to a close, I just wanted to recap some of the things we’re proud of being able to have accomplished in 2024. Helpful Tips Seminars were conducted from Ocean View to Rehoboth to Millsboro to Laurel and beyond.
We made contact with approximately 1000 residents in these sessions and participants
were truly pleased with the presentations. Also, for over a year myself and the other two Register of Wills in our State fought to stop Legislation in the form of H.B. 147, which each of us along with the Sussex Recorder of Deeds, believed would be used for fraudulent efforts against our senior population. I explained this to the legislators on the floor in the Senate and ultimately, we stopped this legislation.
Finally, we informed each of you in our report in March that we were looking to collaborate with the Libraries in Sussex County to make the Helpful Tips Seminars available to those who may not be a part of the groups we have been presenting before in the past. Well, we’re pleased to inform you that we have successfully joined with the Georgetown Library to have them there beginning in 2025, and the first date will be February 19, 2025.
We thank each of you for the opportunity to serve you and we wish you all a Happy New Year.
