Greetings!
As the summer begins, our fiscal year winds down to June 30. I want to take this opportunity to thank our Board who holds us together, our sponsors who help make everything possible, and Ralph & Ann who have assisted us for the past decade.
I also want to thank YOU for your membership and participation throughout the past years. It has been a pleasure to serve as PPGGNY's president, and I look forward to staying actively involved and to the upcoming year with Vikki Jones as President.
Have a great summer!
Alexandra P. Brovey, J.D. LL.M.

ASK THE PRESIDENT
Q: How does PPGGNY run so smoothly?
A: In addition to the five-member Executive committee and the larger elected Board, PPGGNY hired a professional administration company. For the past 9 years, Woodfield Management (aka Ann Woodfield & Ralph Wood) have served us competently and with smiles. Ralph & Ann are retiring and relocating to sunny South Carolina although they will be back on October 2 to assist us with our Awards Luncheon.
Effective July 1 Reading Enterprises, led by Eileen Dengler, will be our administrator.

The Changing of the Guard
 Beginning in July we will have a changing of the guard when our friends at Woodfield Management will retire (again).
Ann Woodfield managed PPGGNY for many years before retiring in 2000. In 2004 she and Ralph Wood were back working for PPGGNY and have been with us since then. Below is an open letter to PPGGNY from Ann & Ralph.
To our friends at PPGGNY:
It is difficult to say goodbye. We have worked with PPGGNY for so many years that we have become more than just business associates, we have become friends...and we will miss you!
However, nothing is as certain as change, and the time is right for both of us to move on to new adventures. For us that means more time to spend with family, particularly the grandchildren (before they leave the nest), and with friends of our vintage who want to have more adult "play dates."
The best way to express the sentiment we feel is to remind you of a movie classic "Casablanca" when Humphrey Bogart says to Ingrid Bergman, "...we'll always have Paris!." We will always have New York, and PPGGNY is part of that wonderful experience.
Best wishes for the future, and thanks for the memories. We will look forward to seeing you again in October. Ann & Ralph

PPGGNY Awards Luncheon at the Cosmopolitan Club
Awardees: Wally Munro & Jonathan Tidd
Speaker: Doug White
Topic: "Philanthropy Is Not Optional"
Although the nonprofit sector is society's orphan - the uses of both government and business are far better and more tangibly defined - it is on this sector, where loving humankind is the ideal, that society's soul depends. We'll visit some of the great philanthropists of yesterday and today to understand their motives and their progress, even when that progress is not always measurable in dollars and cents.

He has written several articles for a variety of magazines and periodicals, including Trusts and Estates, the Journal of Gift Planning, Charitable Gift Planning News, and the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
