BOARD & COMMITTEE NOTES
LETTER FROM YOUR PRESIDENT: Dear Members, I want to thank all of you for the fabulous year. I've thoroughly
enjoyed working with everyone. We really belong to an awesome group of individuals. I want to give special thanks to those volunteers who go above
and beyond to improve and support the Guild. I now know why
the Guild has survived for so long. It's the heart and soul of all
the volunteers over the years. We have no meetings, either the Board or the General
Membership in December, but we do have the Christmas
Luncheon. If I don't see you before Christmas, Have a very Merry
Christmas, and a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Linda Carr, President
MEMBER SERVICES: Nina Hardison Member Services had four new members in orientation on Nov
10. That makes 34 this year!!! Please be sure to welcome our
new members to the guild! They are eager to share their talents and their knowledge in the committees they select! I want to
wish everyone a wonderful Christmas Holiday, God Bless each
of you throughout the New Year!
FINANCIAL: Dawn Robb GIFTING WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE: Depending on the amount of money you give, you may be able
to stretch the tax advantage over several years. This should be
discussed with your CPA or tax professional. Gifts can be made of money or appreciated assets - stock would be one of the most
common gifts. When it is given to the Guild, the Guild sells it
and there are no capital gains to be paid. If the individual sells it
and gives it to the Guild, the individual is responsible for the tax.
Therefore, it is best to give the asset itself to the Guild.
If you need to take a distribution from your IRA, and wish to
show less income, you could have your broker make a gift
directly to the Art Guild. This is a QCD (Qualified Charitable
Donation) that would not be included in your income. It is not
deductible on Schedule A, but is deducted on line #15b of your
1040 tax return. Therefore the amount of your QCD reduces your Adjusted Gross Income, dollar for dollar.
Again, if a large amount is to be given, check with your tax
professional as there may be some IRS regulations which must
be met. You will receive a tax deduction for the amount given –
it is not always a dollar for dollar deduction unless it is a QCD.
