Dear Friends,
There is a growing body of research on creativity – what it is and how to cultivate it.
I believe the answer is actually quite simple. Everyone has creative capacities and
creativity blossoms when people are encouraged to try new things and approach
challenges in ways that are supportive and forgiving. When we are allowed to try,
even though we might fail, incredible things can happen.
Creativity is often associated with artistic ability; however, it is more than that. It is about
divergent thinking and coming up with new ways of addressing age old problems. It
is about taking risks and developing alternative solutions just to see if they work. It is
about continually working towards perfection after multiple failures. Certainly, many
artists are highly creative, but equally as many people exhibit creativity in the workplace
as employees, in schools as students, in the community as advocates, and at home in
their roles as parents and caregivers. People from all walks of life exhibit creativity daily,
often without seeing themselves as creative.
At CSI, we are in the business of helping people try new things so that they can explore
their creative capacities. Whether it is through an adult enrichment watercolor class or
a college biology class, our goal is to present opportunities for personal growth and
development. I encourage you to pursue the offerings in this catalog and see if anything
sparks your interest. Take a chance. You never know where it may lead.
Sincerely,
Hallie Star, M.A.
Director, Blaine County Center

LEGAL SEMINARS
FOR SENIORS
“Making Sure Your Desires
are Followed: Advance Directives
and Powers of Attorney for Seniors”
Durable Financial Powers of Attorney are the building blocks of any estate plan. Learn what
Idaho law says about their use and what powers you can and should give your agent. Idaho is in
a time of transition with respect to Advance Directives, which include documents you can use to
express your health care choices and desires, such as a living will or POST. Learn about health care
surrogates (or agents) under a health care power of attorney. Learn what end of life health choices
you can make, how to make sure that doctors and other health care providers respect those choices
and who is best to act for you if you cannot act for yourself.
Presenter: David Wilson, J.D. from Ahrens DeAngeli Law Group

“Estate Planning for Seniors:
Planning for Life, Not Just Death”
Most traditional estate planning centers on transferring your assets after your death. However, we
are living longer than we ever have and more and more seniors are becoming concerned about
life events that must be planned for, instead of focusing solely on what happens to our assets
after death. Often the planning that we should be doing, such as planning for a surviving spouse,
planning to deal with long term care issues, planning to help kids or grandkids get a head start,
gets ignored by estate planners who are focused only on death. Learn about using powers of
attorneys, wills and other tools to plan for life, not just death.

1:00-5:00 p.m. Messaging Impact
Philanthropy is changing. More and more donors are interested in funding organizations that can
demonstrate impact or change over time, as opposed to organizations that only talk about their
needs. Learn how to create your nonprofit’s impact message to encourage more donors to invest in
the long-term work of your organization. Section code: XBUS 006 B04 Room 200
THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 2015

volunteer? This interactive training will focus on both episodic and long-term volunteers (who are
scheduled to do a particular job on an ongoing basis), and developing a volunteer program that
accommodates either or both types. Section code: XBUS 006 B05 Room 200
