Each year, the
Foundation is the grateful recipient of bequests and other realized
planned gifts. However, we often have not been given prior notice of the donor's intent and only learn of their generosity when it is too late to thank them properly.
In order to recognize and thank, during their lifetimes, the remarkable donors who designate bequests and other deferred gifts to the Foundation, the Legacy of Care Society has been created.
This Society will be officially launched in September at a reception, but we celebrated the founding of the Society by presenting a membership pin to
Janet Ecker, one of the Legacy of Care Society's inaugural members, at the
RVHS AGM in June, 2010. Janet has been an active spokesperson and champion for the Foundation's legacy giving program.
"The Foundation would like to thank Janet for agreeing to speak publicly about her decision to remember RVHS in her will," said Chair
Jim Ward.
