The simplest way is to designate Skidmore College or another charitable interest as the primary beneficiary of the policy. This is something a donor might consider if the original purpose of the policy is no longer relevant. An example would be a policy that was purchased years ago to provide added security for children's education expenses in the event of the policyholder's untimely death. The donor retains ownership of the policy, retains the right to change beneficiaries again if desired, and has access to its cash value if needed. Another method is to make Skidmore both owner and beneficiary of the policy. Unlike the previous method, this would be an irrevocable arrangement, and as such would qualify the donor for immediate tax savings. The donor can make this arrangement whether a policy is fully paid up or whether there are still premium payments being made. Finally, life insurance can be used in connection with other planned gift vehicles such as a charitable remainder trust to replace assets for heirs. For example, if a donor makes a gift through a charitable remainder trust, he or she is likely to realize significant tax deductions. Those savings can offset the cost of purchasing and paying premiums on a policy to "replace the wealth" for an heir or heirs. To learn more call or email the Office of Gift Planning. Bring Legacy to Life! Philanthropy • Legacy • Security The Office of Gift Planning urges donors to consult their legal and other professional advisors when considering charitable gift giving. Our staff is always pleased to work directly with donors and their advisors during the process. Creative Thought Matters.

DAD GOLFING STORIES - PAGE 1 Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 A Young Golfers' Prayer When I took my 4 year old grandson on his first golf outing, we had a grand time playing his ball beside mine after we each hit. We practiced on the putting green (the little course) and rode the cart on the big course. That evening when I put him down to bed and had him say his prayers the normal prayer was modified somewhat to include the day's activities. Here is the modified prayer. Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep, the golf ball on the tee. Thy love be with me through the night And keep me safe till mornings light to ride the cart. Larry Kappel Grandfather of Micah Kappel (now 5+) LMG Comment: I'm sure many of us have said our own little prayer on the course! Teachers of the Game Favorite Submission Winner - 1,000 Frequent Golfer Yards ! I don't have a favorite story, just a favorite experience with those that led me to this game and the lessons it teaches to all those that take it seriously. Two photos of the men that introduced me to golf are attached - they are George R. Tolar, my father, and George H. Tolar, my grandfather. Like so many fathers have done, my Dad had his old clubs cut down for my first set of "sticks" as he often calls them. I was around 11 years old. However, my father was not the teacher my grandfather was back then, so it was my grandfather that taught me the game during countless rounds on a short cut cow pasture called Red Oak Country Club in Red Oak, Texas. Twenty five years have passed since I took up the game, and I often wish I was a better golfer - or at least as good as my grandfather tried to teach me to be. But he was there to experience my first par, my first birdie, and my first sub-90 round. In turn, I received a lifetime of memories, timeless lessons, and experiences that will always be treasured. I can't stand over a putt without conjuring up that simple statement uttered by my grandfather so many times, "You can't make it if you don't get it there." They don't roll short very often because of that phrase echoing in my head. I snapped these photos in 2001 on the 17th hole of that old cow pasture course in Texas. My father is now 63 and my grandfather 87 - I knew this outing of just the three of us was something special. In fact it was, as the failing health of my grandfather has kept him off the course for quite some time. This was the last time we played the game together. Without their support, instruction, and time, I would not have such an appreciation for the game or the memories I carry with me every time I get my "sticks" and head out for the course. They are great fathers, teachers and friends. Bryan Tolar Douglasville, GA Father Figure I'm not sure if this will count as a true "Dad Golfing" story, but the person who truly introduced me to the game I have grown to love and could not live without was my "father figure" growing up. Because of a somewhat complicated family situation, I grew up with an absent father figure at home. My Uncle Tom gave me my first set of clubs. They were a set of Wilson clubs that his father had passed down to him. After about a month with my new clubs and some plastic practice balls, my Uncle Tom took me golfing at Pine Valley Golf Course. This was a 9 hole course in central Wisconsin with lots of pine trees. You didn't make tee times, you just showed up and put your ball in the rack. I remember using an orange ball, so it would be easier to see when our turn was up. I had really never taken a full swing with a real golf ball until I stepped up to that first tee. I didn't know much about golf etiquette and I was so new to the game that I wasn't even nervous off the first tee. I think I might have actually swung and missed on my first attempt, but I'll never forget the feeling I had of hitting my first golf ball off the first tee at Pine Valley. I was hooked! That day was a long one for me and probably even longer for my Uncle. I must have easily lost a dozen golf balls. My Uncle currently is about a 5 handicapper and probably was a 9 when he played with me that day. I can truly appreciate what he did for me now more than ever as I have taken my 12 year old son out to the course with me from time to time. He never harped on me or told me what I was doing wrong. He just let me play and offered encouraging words when I needed them most. I'm a 14 handicapper now and long for the day I break 80. I owe it all to my Uncle Tom who played Dad to me from time to time and gave me a gift that has lasted a lifetime.

Matt Vangalis Atlanta LastMinuteGolfer Member Dad on Ice Favorite Submission Winner - 1,000 Frequent Golfer Yards ! I did not have a camera, but wish I did. It was early in the year and my Dad, brother and myself went to do 18 at Pebble Creek on 10 mile in South Lyon. If I remember the holes, it was the third hole is a par 3, with a fence on the left and a walkway on the right. There is water all in front of the tee box to the green. Close to the green and on the left side of the water, still had ice in the water. Well dad hits his first shot about 10-15 yards short of the green. And it lands on the ice, so naturally he hits a mulligan, to about the same spot. As we start walking up the path my brother and I notice dad going down the left side. As we approach the green, we look back and there is dad on the ice practicing hitting ball off the ice. He says well how do I know what its like hitting off ice if I don't practice first. First he picks up a few balls that some people were smart enough not to go get on the ice. Then he hits a few and then steps up to his ball. Before his club even hit the ice, down through he went. He throws his hands out and his club. Kicks his feet up onto the ice and rolls on the ice a few feet, then gets up. First we ask if he is ok, once he says yes, my brother and I start laughing so hard. Then there is two guys waiting to tee off in the box and they shout "if you are going swimming mind if we play through", that just starts the laughing all over again. Well we just pick up our balls and move on to the next hole. Dad sits down and empties the water out of his shoes and rings his socks. We ask if he wants to call it a day? And he says no he'll dry. So the next few holes he squished along and we all finished our 18. It was a classic day. Now we usually ask if we need to bring him a floatation device when we go golfing.
