Making the Most of Your Bequest

Rebecca Tanaka, Planned Giving Officer, The Rotary Foundation

May 23, 2019

Planning and securing the future of individual lives and Rotary clubs are both sensitive and complex, but unless we’re okay with our treasures and estates going somewhere we’d rather they didn’t, it’s an important issue to think about. What will our legacies be? How can we support our clubs after we’re gone?

Rebecca Tanaka, Planned Giving Officer at The Rotary Foundation, will speak at the Fort Worth Southwest Rotary Club meeting on Thursday, May 23. She will share strategies and examples of ways to make future gifts that will benefit both Rotary Foundation programs and individual clubs. Guests from other clubs are welcome to attend.
