Someone has finally said that you don't need to be an expert on every kind of planned gift in order to conduct planned giving. Frankly, I find the planned giving classes so dull I want to go to sleep! Mainly, I just want someone to tell me how to talk to someone about the end of their life. I think you're right, it's great to just be out there asking for bequests. I don't think enough organizations are doing that. Cute pic of the kids, too, btw. Good luck on your book! Thank God!
