A Message from Arnie Singal, B&N ’54, Chair of The Almy Society: Opening Minds Campaign Gift Solutions

Dear Parents, Alumni/ae, and Friends,

As Chair of the School’s Almy Society, I wanted to let you know that there are creative ways to make your contribution to the Opening Minds Campaign through a planned gift, such as a gift annuity, irrevocable bequest or charitable trust provision.  These options can often offer substantial benefits, such as an income stream for life, income and capital gains tax savings, and possible estate tax savings.

If you are interested in learning more, I urge you to contact the School’s Planned Giving Advisor, Amy Goldman, at 617.800.2776 or amy_goldman@bbns.org for a confidential discussion of your personal circumstances.  Also, if you have already included BB&N in your charitable estate plans, please let us know.  We would welcome the opportunity to recognize you as a member of The Almy Society, a special group created to honor those who have made arrangements to leave a legacy gift to the School.

All best regards and many thanks for your support,

Arnie Singal, B&N ’54
Chair, The Almy Society

P.S.  Due to the current economic climate and an ever-increasing life expectancy, the gift annuity rate that BB&N and most other charities will be able to offer may be lower as of July 1, 2008. If you think an annuity may be right for you, please call the Planned Giving Office today to take advantage of the higher rates:  617.800.2776.
