Your life, your dreams, your final wishes - a new website was introduced to a gathering of more than 100 April 4, at Latitude 30 in Jacksonville. Web developer John Widdows of Ponte Vedra Beach, president and CEO of AppSoft Development Inc., described the site, www.myfinal.com, gave attendees a comprehensive visual tour and introduced founder, Valerie Logan. Following the tragic death of a dear friend and, after being personally involved in the aftermath of challenges that faced his widow and three small children, Logan began searching for solutions to ease the pain of losing a loved one unexpectedly.

Logan's unique website, designed by Widdows and edited by Sarah Wood, former editor of Waters Edge Magazine, provides an opportunity for members to leave a private, ongoing "e-legacy" for their families, including videos and personal messages to beneficiaries that are securely stored in the "cloud" until such time as designated by the member.

For information, go to www.myfinal.com or call 855-mYfinal (855-693-4625).

Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs, with groups meeting regularly across the nation.

It was 22 years ago that Boni Moro of Ponte Vedra Beach was inspired by a visit to a Great Decisions presentation in Washington, D.C., to head up a local discussion group.

"We met at different people's homes in Oakbridge at first, and at several other places until we finally started meeting at the Ponte Vedra Branch Library," said Moro, noting that her Great Decisions discussion group is sponsored by the Friends of the Ponte Vedra Library. The group meets eight months out of the year on the third Monday of the month and currently has a membership of approximately 17 in attendance.

Monday from 4 to 6 p.m., Boni's Great Decisions group will discuss "Iran," led by member, Bill Napper. "We always welcome new members to our group," said Moro, who credits her interest in history, politics and happenings around the world for keeping her vital and up to date.

The 2013 Great Decisions Briefing Book, which highlights eight of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year, is available for $20, but there is no charge to attend the meetings.

For information, call 285-6096 or email bonimoro2601b@aol.com.
