7 OUR FOUNDERS

In honor of the Main Street Community Foundation’s 20th anniversary, a group of the Founders gathered to reminisce about its history and to discuss their hopes for the future. Sherwood ‘Woody’ Anderson recalled that “Carlyle ‘Hap’ Barnes came up with the name of the Foundation. He reasoned that there is a Main Street in every town, and wanted the name to represent all of the communities the Foundation would serve.” Jeanne Radcliff added that “the early founders thought to involve the surrounding towns of greater Bristol in MSCF

BUILDING ON A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP 1995-2015

In 1995, a group of visionary local leaders officially established the Main Street Community Foundation. Since then, the Foundation has grown to be an important philanthropic vehicle thanks to the leadership of dozens of dedicated and generous volunteers.

It was Isaac Newton who said, “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” We wish to recognize and thank the giants of the past 20 years:

13 BEQUEST WILL SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE FOUNDATION

“The process of setting up a bequest is easier than people think,” explained Bill Tracy, a former Bristol resident and attorney at the Bristol law firm of Furey, Donovan, Tracy & Daly PC. Bill was recruited as a volunteer by Jeanne Radcliff, a Main Street Community Foundation Founder and has actively supported the Foundation over the past 15 years. He has served on the Asset Development and General Grant Distribution committees. In 2000, Bill joined the Foundation’s Board of Directors, leading the board as Chair from 2011-2013. Currently, Bill has remained involved by serving as Chair of the Bradley Henry Barnes & Leila Upson Barnes Memorial Trust

14 LEAVING A LEGACY THROUGH BEQUESTS AND PLANNED GIVING

The Main Street Community Foundation is built on the dreams and desires of people who are part of the

Foundation’s service area. For some people, the desire to create a legacy comes during their life as a current GIFT PLANNING gift. For others, these legacies are shaped by the donor as future bequests or planned gifts. And still at other times, a celebratory or tragic event, such as a retirement or sudden death, will be the impetus for honor or memorial gifts that may be used as the beginning of an endowed fund in a loved one’s name. Large or small, all of these gifts will enhance the quality of life in your community for generations to come. If you have included the Main Street Community Foundation in your estate plan and would like to be included in the Main Street CornerStone Society, please contact the Foundation office at 860.583.6363.

A cornerstone provides a strong support to a structure for its future stability.
