Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders in Philanthropy
The Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders, a national Red Cross program, is comprised of women leaders and philanthropists. By investing $10,000 annually in their local American Red Cross Chapters, these women follow in the footsteps of a long line of women leaders who have helped the Red Cross serve the American public in times of war and peace with disaster assistance, safety training and countless other community assistance services.
The name Tiffany has historical precedent; the Tiffany Circle is named for the beautiful Tiffany windows in the Board of Governors Hall at Red Cross national headquarters in Washington, D.C. The windows, produced by the Tiffany Studios, were commissioned in 1917. As an act of reconciliation and hope, they were paid for with a gift from the Women�s Relief Corps of the North and a matching amount from the United Daughters of the Confederacy of the South.
The design of the windows personifies virtues at work in the Red Cross: hope, mercy, faith, charity, truth and fortitude. Members of the Tiffany Circle provide living examples of these virtues in their local communities by ensuring that the Red Cross has the ability to help people prevent, prepare for and respond to life�s emergencies.
Please consider making a commitment to join the Tiffany Circle today. Your support will help the Hawaii Red Cross yet its impact will reach far beyond city and county lines. You will be joining an international network of humanitarians dedicated to the principles of the Red Cross. For more information about the Tiffany Circle and the upcoming Washington DC Summit, please contact Betty Mastrantonio, Financial Development Director, at 739-8108.

Legacy Society
Many Hawaii Chapter volunteers and donors have told us �I wish I could do more� to help the chapter serve people in need. They often feel they can�t give more money or time than they already have.
Some find there is a way to give more through a method they may never have considered: a legacy gift which happens in the future. These gifts help both the Hawaii Chapter and the American National Red Cross serve thousands more individuals each year than they otherwise could!
The most common form of Legacy Gift is a bequest in a will or trust. Bequests comprise about 75% of all Legacy gifts because they are simple, easy to understand, and can later be changed. One particularly smart way to leave a bequest to charity is through a pre-tax retirement plan such as an IRA, Keogh or 401K. When these plans are left to family members or friends, income taxes and sometimes estate taxes must be paid. This could affect a large percentage of the proceeds. There is no tax loss on funds left to charity.
The decision to remember the Red Cross in your will or estate plan not only will allow us to continue our mission to provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies; you will be welcomed as a member of the Legacy Society with special recognition and benefits.
