Hello dear classmates!  It is that time of the year again —Woods Giving Day is February 7th!!

Please let us know as soon as possible, but no later than Feb 6th, what you would like to pledge for Giving Day.  Please call or text Betty or me (Barbara) — numbers below.  Or, if you prefer, you may call the Woods on Giving Day and make your pledge. The Woods Giving Day number is 888-769-0013.  Recall that the pledges must be paid by June 30th. 

Betty and I will record those pledges given to us on a spread sheet to give to the Woods on Giving Day.   Last year our class once again had the highest giving percentage, with about 78% of us giving to the Woods Fund.  And most of our donations were committed on Giving Day.  Let’s go for 80% since most of us will be 80 this year!  A pledge of any amount!

And a special reminder from Betty about IRA gifting: “Don’t forget that you can gift directly out of your IRA to the Woods without any tax consequences. I’ve been doing that since I have been required to withdraw.  It is a great way to save a little money not going back to the IRS.  Ask your IRA administrator to help you accomplish this.”

Thank you!  We hope to hear from you right away.

Your class agents
Barbara and Betty
