[Michlib-l] [Everyone] Learn about Legacy gifts & Estate Planning Education - Dec 11th in Novi

[Hope Siasoco]

Julie, 

Currently, I'm the only one so far that can make it from the Pinckney
Community Public Library. But, I'm still waiting on a reply from 3 of my
board members. I'll let you know as it gets closer if anyone else from
our library will be coming with me to this presentation. 

Thank you,
Hope Siasoco, Library Director
Pinckney Community Public Library
125 Putnam St.
Pinckney, MI 48169

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.

PGRT's purpose is to educate their members and provide the necessary skills to be effective advocates and better fundraisers for the non-profits they represent.

This program is an effort to educate the broader public on the opportunities. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SOLICITATION OF ANY KIND.
