Ways to Give Back to Your Community
SOCIAL MEDIA CONSULTANT
Want to give back to your community but not sure how? Here are a few ideas to get you started.
PHOTOGRAPHER
Natalia Matthews Sam Young 925-301-7448
The Gift of Literacy Only one-third of all students entering high school are proficient in reading, according to a National Assessment of Education Progress report. Brighten children’s smiles while also giving them an opportunity to succeed at school and beyond. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation has given new toys to children in need for more than 60 years. The organization also extends its reach through a partnership with The UPS Store through the Toys for Tots Literacy Program, which provides economically disadvantaged children an opportunity to succeed in school and beyond. Donations can be made at The UPS Store locations nationwide or online at toysfortots.org/ literacy. One-hundred percent of all proceeds go to support local children and literacy programs. Your donations go even further thanks to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which is able to purchase books at a deep discount. To find a participating location near you and make a donation that will help ensure families everywhere have access to books, visit theupsstore.com. Bake Sale The next time you are making trays of cookies, consider making an extra batch or two, and encouraging friends and neighbors to do the same. With your combined efforts, you can host a bake sale, which can be a lucrative and enjoyable way to raise money for your favorite charity.

If you don’t have time to organize an event like this, you can still give back through your baking. Wrap packs of cookies or other goodies in bags as thank you gifts to your children’s teachers, coaches and others in your community who have served or been kind to your family. Volunteer Your Time One of the best ways to give back is by donating your valuable time. Make a trip to a local nursing home and spend time with residents who may not have family or anyone else to visit them. Additionally, soup kitchens are often in need of extra hands. Ask your local organizations about volunteer opportunities. If you have the time and resources to give back, there are plenty of opportunities to help people out in need of the basics..

Do You Need a Trust Check-up? People often ask me if and when they should have their Trusts check-up. Below is a good checklist for determining whether you need a check-up. 1. The Estate Plan is not Current. If your Estate Plan was prepared prior to 2012, chances are good that it does not take into account the current tax laws. Most existing Trusts that I see provide for AB/ By-Pass Trust which is no longer necessary for 99% of the people. It is very important that you amend a Trust with AB/By-Pass Trust provision prior to the incapacity of a spouse. If a spouse does not have capacity to amend the Trust, it is too late to remove AB/By-Pass trust provision. 2. Need to Change Trustees or Allocations to Beneficiaries. If a designated Trustee has died or is no longer available to be your Trustee, you should consider amending the Trust to provide for a new Trustee. Also, you should review whether

Putting Financial News, Good or Bad, In Context Investors’ reaction to economic news can be baffling. For example, positive economic announcements, such as an uptick in gross domestic product (GDP), strongerthan-expected earnings by bellwether companies or a drop in unemployment are sometimes followed by a market sell-off. If the market’s negative response to seemingly good news has left you wondering if you are missing something, you are not alone. Are Markets Rational? The evolving field of behavioral finance may provide some explanation for seemingly irrational investor responses to good or bad economic news. The discipline seeks to combine behavioral and cognitive psychological theory with conventional economics and finance to understand why people make irrational financial decisions.

your current payouts to beneficiaries are still appropriate. Are their new grandchildren you wish to provide for in the trust? Is a current beneficiaries having emotional or drug problems which might make a supplemental or special needs trust more appropriate for their distribution? 3. No Government Benefit Planning provisions. Most pre 2012 Trusts do not have any provision for Government Benefit planning. If there is any possibility that you or your spouse will need government assistance such as skilled nursing, your Trust should include the power for your Trustee to deal with governmental agencies apply for benefits such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and do Medi-Cal planning. 4.
