by Kat Boyer 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Hi everyone, I had a patron in this morning who is a teen mother and she's really in need of help and I was wondering if any of you have the name of some organizations I could give her that she might be able to get help from. I know there are resources out there, I am just not sure what they are. Thanks, Kat Boyer Interim Director Benton Harbor Public Library

Hello Everyone- The incoming president of our library's Friends group is a development director for a non-profit and is encouraging our Friends group, Library Board and Staff to better educate ourselves about fundraising, and especially the possibility of legacy gifts for our library. To that end we are bringing in Bill Winkler, a speaker from the Leave a Legacy Speakers' bureau of the Planned Giving Round Table of Southeast Michigan. This is a professional organization of development directors and estate planning professionals helping to educate their membership and the general public about legacy gifts and estate planning. There are two opportunities for you to attend Bill's presentation. One in Clarkston and one in Novi. This is a free and open event intended for Directors, Trustees, Staff and Friends. See all the details below or attached. Thanks! Julie Julie Meredith Director Clarkston Independence District Library 6495 Clarkston Rd Clarkston, MI 48346 248.625.2212 juliem(a)indelib.org<mailto:juliem@indelib.org> Would you like to provide solicitation-free programs at your library about the benefits of estate planning? Are you curious about how legacy gifts can be left to your library? Leave a Legacy Planned Giving Roundtable of Southeast Michigan can help The Planned Giving Roundtable (PGRT) is a professional organization of 140 development officers, estate planning attorneys and financial planners.
