Thoughtful planned giving, or estate planning, allows you to provide for your family, benefit the community, and perhaps even provide for your retirement through wills, trusts and charitable annuities. Between now and spring 2010, everyone who commits to include CVI in their estate plans will be honored as Charter Members of the Mary Ann and Dick Cook Legacy Society.
