Planning August Meet Your Candidates Month

June 19th Meeting featured Scott Anderson, Gift Planning Officer, of the Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice (Gulf Coast CF), who gave us the history and explained the benefit the foundation is to the greater Venice community.  He informed us about several of the programs it's supporting.  At the moment the foundation is reviewing scholarship applications.  Scott also brought some prizes, two Gulf Coast CF Tervus Tumblers, awarded to Dorothy Hassler and Kitty Koscielny (pictured below) for answering Gulf Coast CF history questions correctly.  Scott emphasized the need and benefit for us as individuals and to teach our children, to save, spend, donate, and invest our money wisely, as demonstrated by the Money Savvy Pig, (pictured lower right).  After Roy Reichelt tried to pick the pig as a door prize, Scott later gifted it to Roy and Edie's grandchild.
Last meeting until September 2008.

Below left 2nd VP Steve Shoub (right), in charge of programs, presents Scott Anderson (left) of Gulf Coast CF the NARFE mug.

The "Money Savvy Pig" pictured below right is an old fashioned piggy bank with a twist. Its blue transparent plastic is divided into four labeled compartments: save, spend, donate and invest. Each compartment has its own slot on top and plug at the bottom.  Want to get a pig!  Order a pig online from the
Money Savvy Generation website.

May 15th Chapter Meeting featured Dr. Larry Thompson, President of the Ringling College of Art and Design.
It was an interesting talk and presentation about the school and its talented students.  And the large number of careers which can be made in the Arts.
