honoring Evie's gift



The Lehman Foundation this year turns 35 years old. At Christmas Evie gave $300 to the philanthropic enterprise and pushed the fund over the $7,000.00 mark. My two brothers and I signed a thank-you card and presented it to Evie. Our combined contributions to the Foundation rarely amounted to more than one hundred dollars a year. Contributions to nonprofit causes always came from the earnings and much of the earnings were transferred to the capital base. So we saw our contributions double and earn enough to make grants annually.
