Ron Polito gave a Club Foundation update. We are at an all time high. Our intent with the Beckwith account was to be able to give scholarships every year, but as we saw this year if there is a downturn in the market our funds could be limited. Our understanding was that if we did not award all the scholarship money that was profits from the Beckwith account that any monies left over would go into the corpus of the account. After having discussions with other estate attorneys, it has been decided that we can "bank" leftover funds from good years to use in down years.

 

Bill Spellman is doing the play Annie Get Your Gun. Bill's advice is that if you want to go, buy your tickets early because every performance has been selling out.
