Making Charity Unnecessary
Fred Smith
I had an interesting conversation with a family who had just read the eight degrees of charity formulated in the 12th century by the Jewish scholar, physician and philosopher Maimonides. While I've known about the eight levels of giving for years, I've never read them closely until now.

A Gift for Giving
Jill & Tom Ramey
When Jill and Tom sort through their mail every day or answer their phone they find reason for both pride and sadness. Without doubt Jill King Ramey and Judge Tom Ramey, Jr. have many reasons to be proud of a community where they have invested their entire adult lives. The sadness comes from a sense of being in a different place in life and wishing they could help many, many more organizations than is financially possible. It is especially difficult for Tom, whom Jill describes as having the "gift of giving".
