We want to hold your hand

Some moments are meant to be etched in the memory forever, aren't they? That's exactly what went through my mind as I watched Lindy and Eva walk into preschool together on Friday morning, arm in arm, in their matching navy blue dresses covered in watermelons, little tufts of blonde hair capturing every ounce of the summer morning sun.

Too bad my memory does not have the same capacity for other things, like, oh, the reason I went down to the basement, or the super important detail I was just about to relay to my colleague. At least when it comes to our family's charitable giving, I don't have to remember the last time I gave to my church, or my university, or my favorite charity. Nor do I have to search through tax receipts. The modest (very modest)-but-mighty Laura McKnight and Clay Barker Fund at the Community Foundation takes care of all of that for us. We have information at our fingertips, online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the folks at the Community Foundation are always willing to lend a hand if we have questions.

Save your memory for those Friday morning moments and organize your generosity through a personal or family foundation fund at the Community Foundation. Click here to learn more. An easier way could be right in the palm of your hand.
