We have one on planned giving which should help affiliate members understand different options for planned giving.

They are in Wekiwa 4. The planned giving seminar runs from 6:00 to 7:00 pm and the fundraising and grant seminar runs from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Every affiliate should consider sending anyone who deals with fundraising to both of these seminars. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In preparation for them, we are also asking you to let us know what your specific questions are so that we can cover what our affiliates need to hear.
