Foundation (Foundation), and STEVE following some basic information about the Foundation, i.e., started in 1973; awards grants, thus far approximately $700,000.00, to local 501©(3) groups
in the Greater Lafayette area; then introduced the Board of Directors, see back of 'Ripples." He then introduced the panel of BOB GRIFFITHS; JACK HATCHER; and JIM KLUSMAN
who responded to questions about charitable giving submitted by Club members two weeks ago. Editor did not understand much of what was said, except did learn
two things: (1) Our Club is blessed with members who are very knowledgeable in these areas; and (2) There will always be a need for accountants and attorneys.
