Supporting
Salem City Club
Beyond attending our semi-monthly programs there are a variety
of ways in which Salem City Club can be supported. Ongoing
volunteer opportunities
exist-such as greeting at our luncheons, serving on the
Nominating Committee or
helping with the annual auction and meeting. There is the
Annual Appeal by the President which raises money
to help offset the expense of our speakers, various materials
published during the year in support of our programs and of
course the phone and internet bills!
In 1999 Salem City Club established the Progress Fund.
The Board of
Governors' goal was to "ensure Salem City Club's
capacity for change and growth by providing an opportunity for
members (and others) to make contributions to fund special
projects." The areas of giving include the following
categories:
1. In honor of a Club member or citizen of Salem .
2. As a memorial honor for a resident of Salem and/or
Club member.
3. As part of our annual President's Appeal fund drive.
4. As a contribution from citizens who want to support
the Club, but cannot attend meetings.
5. To receive grant funds from foundations and
corporate
sources.
2009 will be the 42nd year that Salem City Club has
hosted programs, speakers, and forums in our community. To
ensure that this venue is available for
future
generations we encourage you to give to Salem City Club
through your will or trust. Leave a legacy that will inspire,
educate, and motivate future generations!
Gifts through
wills and trusts can be designated to provide support
for programs, speaker series, forums, etc. Initiating a gift
to Salem City Club through your will or trust is a great way
to express your appreciation of, and the value of the programs
presented. Including Salem City Club in your plans can be as
simple as adding an addendum to your existing documents.

City Club please contact
