Tam ... The CD's are still very cool.
Jack - I should have mentioned 14 others were involved in this project, which means we managed to contribute enough funding to provide a total of 15 of these "forever scholarships".
This has been done in larger cities, with remarkable results.
One aspect of this that was really compelling: There is a local money managing company who is handling the investments with no fees. There is no one getting paid for this. This means 100 percent of the money is being used for the purpose at hand.
Too many "charities" have heavy expense loads, with some seeing less than half the moneys contributed going to people in need.
This was really one of the most enjoyable "things" I have ever done. The feeling in the room when each of us had reached the goal two weeks ago was nothing short of wonderful.
