    The Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Phoenix has used CRYSTAL REPORTS to generate quarterly statements to its fund holders. Because of a change in staff and a lack of documentation in our accounting office we find ourselves unable to get CRYSTAL REPORTS to work for us now. We would be very grateful to anyone who can offer some help as we try to figure out how to make use of this program. Please contact us directly if you have a staff person who would be willing to offer some assistance or let us know of a consultant who might be able to help.
    PLEASE RESPOND DIRECTLY BY EMAIL TO: sturgel@jcfphoenix.org THANKS!!!

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

    Volunteerism supports Arizona Educational Forum on Transferring Wealth to Heirs

    Phoenix, Arizona – Jun 5, 2012 -

    Business owners and financially successful citizens hoping to use their assets to support their future family generations and/or their favorite charitable causes need to assess gifting options and tax opportunities very soon.

     

    From Success to Significance, the 18th annual Summer Forum, offers professional advisors, non-profit staff, board members and philanthropists three distinct educational tracks focused strategic financial and estate planning techniques that maximize tax rules and credits now scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012.

     

    "As a fundraiser for a private school, donations are critical.  They bridge the gap between tuition and fees, and the actual cost of providing excellent bi-lingual education with opportunities for cultural and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs.   Community based donations can build facilities, or allow us the financial freedom to partner with innovative programs already accessible through other local non-profit resources.  Donations help keep a private school education a possible dream, through scholarships, for bright and talented students who want to graduate fluent in several languages. 

     

    Many of our donors are unaware of the critical time element for gift tax rules this year.  I am supporting the PGRTAZ and this Summer Forum, because it supports me in getting the word out, timely and well, to our interested professional advisors, board members, and key donors.”  Jacqueline Palmenberg, Director of Development, International School of Phoenix.

     

    The 18th Annual Summer Forum will be held on June 13th, 2012, in Phoenix Arizona, at the Phoenix Country Club. 

     

    The three educational tracks include a series for newer planners or those interested in understanding the basics of gifting and taxation, a series for board members and donors who want to explore innovative ways to maximize their impact, and a series for seasoned planners wanting to stretch their knowledge or tackle specific issues.

     

    Further details can be found by visiting their website, or calling the contact information below.  Registration flyers are available for distribution to professional associations for their membership upon request.  Registration is open now.

    A very warm welcome to our newest Break Out session sponsors, Ward T. Bell & Associates, Inc.

    There are so many ways life insurance plays a vital role in estate planning.  When gifting is under consideration, the potential to move wealth and leverage cash AND make everyone a winner is possible.  Strategic estate planning and gifting decisions are amplified with this estate and gift planning tool.  Great to have a sponsor from this side of the conversation!

    The early bird pricing rates have now flown away. 

    Standard registration fees of $140 for PGRTAZ members, and $175 for non-members are now in place, through midnight June 7th.  On June 8th, "at the door" pricing rates kick in.

    So, don't delay, REGISTER NOW!   The full day of exceptional speakers and learning, continuing education credits, broad based networking potential, and excellent meals and prizes, would easily be valued at more than $200 per person by other chapters and organizations.  Our incredible sponsors have made this day available to you at significantly discounted rates.  Register Now!
