Guest Speaker

This week we had an impromptu presentation from visiting Rotarian Adrienne Malloy (Nova Scotia) and club member Malcolm Ross. They were both attending a national conference for the Canadian Association of Gift Planners. 80% of donations are made through Financial Planners who discuss tax consequences and estate planning with their clients. When it comes to donations to charity, 70% of the people who give do so because they have been asked. Malcolm brought up our own Rotary Foundation as a possible benefactor and Susan Burak reminded us that we can give tax receipts from our club's Rotary Fund.
