Dear Tailhookers,
Over the past few years it has been wonderful to watch the growth of our Foundation assets. It is no secret that this growth has come from the generous donations of many individuals, groups and companies. We on the Foundation Board have concentrated our attention on increasing scholarship donations, through corporate and individual sponsors. This year the Tailhook Educational Foundation set a new record with an additional endowment bringing our permanently funded Scholarships to 32.
Our exciting donation program that allows members to donate via Planned giving, setting aside bequests for the Foundation from their estates, continues to expand. To have your family help our larger Tailhook family, you can name a dollar amount, a specific property, stocks or a percentage of your estate in your Trust or Will. Many of our members have made the decision to support the organization in this manner. (Check out the list of estate donors on our web site http://www.tailhook.net/FoundationPlannedGiving.html)
The Board of Directors and a long list of scholarship winners thank all of the donors listed in the Spring Hook.
Thank you for your continued support.
RADM Ham Tallent, USN (Ret)
President
