Sandra Hurley and Marla P. Meyer are the featured guest speakers in 3 Voices’ third and final fall series program which will focus on “What’s the plan for the rest of your life?” This program will identify the decisions and conversations senior citizens and their families need to have and with whom.


The presentation will be held on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2 p.m. at the Masonic Hall, 62 Pleasant St., in Marblehead.


“These are conversations and decisions that should happen now rather than later when it will be harder to talk about things or even too late to address them,” said Judy Gates, one of 3 Voices’ founders.
