Page 2 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 30, 2022 Malden Public Library award winners Shaping your legacy: a luncheon presentation W hat kind of legacy do you wish to be remembered by? Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) invites residents to consider their legacies with insights from Judi Taylor Cantor, CFRE, a planned giving expert and author for more than 40 years. On Wednesday, Oct. 12, Cantor Members of The Order of Knights of Pythias present awards to the winners of the Malden Public Library’s summer reading program. O n Saturday, September 24, at the Malden Public Library, six children who participated in the library’s summer reading program were each honored with prizes donated by The Order of Knights of Pythias, a fraternal organization. At this special ceremony, each winner received a medal and a Kindle Fire tablet. Eligible participants reported their reading minutes to the library for all six weeks of the program and met the minimum requirement of two hours each week. (All of the award recipients actually exceeded this weekly goal!) The names of all eligible participants were grouped by gender and grade (students who had just completed the first, second or third grade), and then one name was drawn from each group. The prizes were presented by two Pythians: Alan Zamansky and Harvey Slobodkin. The Order of Knights of Pythias is an international, nonsectarian, fraternal order that was established in Washington, D.C., in 1864 by Justus H. Rathbone. The fraternal order follows three distinguishing principles – Friendship, Charity and Benevolence – and supports charitable, benevolent, fraternal and social activities. will lead “Philanthropic Love Stories,” a conversation about legacy planning and how others have made a lasting impact on the causes and organizations that matter most to them. This event, the Independence Legacy Society Luncheon, will be held from noon to 2 p.m., at the headquarters of MVES (300 Commercial St., #19, Malden, Mass.). All are welcome to learn more about legacy giving and the MVES Independence Legacy Society. Luncheon will be served. There is no charge to attend but RSVPs are required by Oct. 5. Legacies enable people to pass on their values, not just their funds, and to have a direct and positive eff ect on the future. They are also appealing for their practical aspects, such as providing a tax-exempt way to bequeath. “MVES has been honored with legacy gifts over the years, and each one is unique and special,” said MVES Director of Development Jenny Vanasse. “We’re so pleased to have Judi Taylor Cantor visit MVES for this special presentation on how to make a positive charitable impact on organizations that donors care about through legacy giving.” Cantor has an extensive background in legacies; she has led Julie Taylor Cantor Legacy Planner planned giving eff orts for charitable organizations, including Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centers and Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, American Museum of Natural History and Boston Symphony Orchestra. The Independence Legacy Society of MVES honors and celebrates people who intend to include MVES in their will, estate plan or other forms of planned gifts. Your legacy gift will provide future generations of older adults and people with disabilities the care they need to be able to live with independence and dignity in their homes.
