LEGACY CIRCLE
Greetings fellow IUCC members,
As the majority of you know, IUCC was the beneficiary of an incredibly generous bequeath earlier this year by our late fellow congregation member, Lynn Carpenter. This bequeath did not happen by accident. It was planned, and thankfully so, given that Lynn was taken prematurely in her retirement years. Not ever knowing what’s around the corner, Lynn’s savvy preparation of a will/trust insured that IUCC received the gift that she intended, leaving an incredible legacy.
For more information regarding our Legacy Circle, click on this link:https://iucc.org/give. There you will find an FAQ link https://iucc.org/legacy-circle and this link to download a confidential bequest intention form https://iucc.org/s/IUCC-Confidential-Bequest-Intention-Form.pdf.
