Exploring End-of-Life Considerations from the Endowment Committee

At our most recent meeting, it was suggested that the Endowment Committee provide information to help our members think about end-of-life issues. Two books that might be helpful are “The Good Death” and “Being Immortal”. In addition, we have requested from the Funeral Consumer Alliance “Before I Go, You Should Know”. This is a workbook/guide to record things your survivors need to know to be able to handle your estate and carry on. (The pdf, which can be updated as needed, is attached.)
Also, please be aware that there is a memorial book in the library in which you can honor past members with your memories of them.
And as a personal note: I realize that dealing with death is a sensitive issue, but one which I hope will lead to deep thought about how you wish to be remembered. I have been a member of the Fellowship for about 50 years. I’ve been involved with women’s groups, social justice issues, fun activities, work projects, and on and on. The many friendships I’ve made over the years have been such a blessing!
My hope is that our donations will ensure that the Fellowship remains the strong institution it has always been. Although most of us can’t make such a generous donation, we are grateful to Geri Silk for her recent bequest in the amount of $70,000 to the fund.
Gifts in any amount are gratefully received, particularly those given in honor of special events such as birthdays, marriages, graduations, etc.
I’ve attached a form you can use if you wish to make a deferred gift to the Endowment Committee.
