Spangler at Main St. forum

Jim Spangler of Spangler Mortuaries in Los Altos is scheduled to address the oft-avoided but necessary subject of planning for death, during a Thursday Main Street Forum appearance at Main Street Cafe & Books in downtown Los Altos. Spangler’s talk, “What If Something Should Happen,” is scheduled 7 p.m.

Spangler will discuss some of the basic decisions that must be made. By simply knowing one’s options, it becomes easier to decide what is personally best, how to make those wishes known or how best to record them.

Main Street Cafe & Books is located at 134 Main St. Those interested in attending Spangler’s talk should R.S.V.P. by e-mailing mainstreetforum@aol.com.
