Fall 2016 magazine 7 Letter from the Clerk of the Board

Dear Friends, When I graduated from Friends’ Central in 1973, I did not imagine that I would one day have the opportunity to Clerk the Board of my beloved school. It is truly an honor. I am thrilled to work with Craig Sellers as he enters his fifth year as Head of School. The clarity of focus he brings to the strategic tasks the Board will address in the coming years will ensure a productive, inspiring, and positive partnership. This is an exciting time for Friends’ Central. We are a school that enjoys an excellent reputation among peer schools, both locally and nationally. We have a strong, agile, Philip Scott and well-supported faculty that is mastering, and in some cases leading, changes in education. The community has just completed a year of Appreciative Inquiry, culminating in a retreat where over 100 parents, faculty, Board members, alumni/ae, and students imagined a future that both fortifies our core strengths and leads our community in bold new directions. The Ulmer Family Light Lab is under construction at the Lower School, and the Board has identified a number of other fundraising priorities. Included are dramatic renovations that will transform Shallcross Hall into a true center for the school community and increasing endowment for faculty professional development and financial aid. Throughout the changes we envision, Friends’ Central must continue to be a place that offers its community uniquely solid ground. I am proud of the work FCS has done around issues of diversity, inclusivity, and social justice, and I look forward to continued work and progress.

* Deceased ANNUAL REPORT OF GIFTS 2015-2016 29 FROM BOARD OF TRUSTEES CLERK

Dear Friends,

On behalf of Friends’ Central’s Board of Trustees, thank you for your support of the School Robert Gassel during the 2015-2016 school year.

The Friends’ Central Board of Trustees is made up of 20 alumni/ae, current parents, and parents of alumni/ae who volunteer their time to serve. The School’s bylaws require that a majority of the members of the Board belong to the Religious Society of Friends.

As the National Association of Independent Schools puts it so well in its guidelines, the Board is responsible for adopting “the school’s mission, vision, and strategic goals and then establishing policies and plans that reinforce them.” In addition, the Board must “be a careful steward of the school’s resources and be accountable for the institution’s financial stability. Boards oversee operating budgets, ensuring the preservation of capital assets and endowment, and actively help raise money for the school.”

The Board of Trustees hires and evaluates the Head of School and must work in tandem with the Head of School, being “careful to focus its primary work on long-range and strategic issues, not the daily operations of the school.” Friends’ Central’s Board of Trustees has standing committees that include Executive, Development, Finance, Investment, Long Range Planning, Property, School Life, and Trustees.

This past year, major initiatives of the Board included the yearlong Appreciative Inquiry process which culminated in a retreat where over 100 parents, faculty, Board members, alumni/ae, and students shared perspectives on the future of the School; the funding and construction of the Ulmer Family Light Lab on the Lower School campus; completion of a Feasibility Study that will guide future fundraising priorities; and preliminary work on the next Strategic Plan.

On a personal note, in June, I stepped down as Clerk of the Friends’ Central Board of Trustees and retired from the Board after serving for over 20 years. It is impossible to adequately express my gratitude to the School and to those faculty, staff, and volunteers who give of their time to help make Friends’ Central the outstanding school we love so dearly. I also must thank my wife, Flavia, and our children, Brooke ’99 and Bruno ’16. Board service requires an extraordinary amount of support and patience from one’s family, and I could not have asked for more.

I have confidence that, between the Board of Trustees, an excellent Head of School who has put together a fantastic team, and a peerless faculty, the School is moving in a great direction. Though it is not easy to step away from the Board, I am thrilled that Phil Scott ’73 has agreed to take on the clerkship. I look forward to the great things that lie ahead for FCS!

Sincerely,

Robert Gassel ’69

30 FRIENDS’ CENTRAL SCHOOL BLACKBURN SOCIETY

During a recent visit to Friends’ Central, an alumna talked about the joy of maximizing the impact her giving could have on the School. She was able to do so through planned giving. The School’s history is replete with examples of the power of planned gifts; Friends’ Central is, in part, the School it is today because of the foresight of these individuals. Planned giving donors are all members of the Blackburn Society, named in honor of Eliza E. Blackburn ’22, whose estate gift has benefitted Friends’ Central for many decades. While there are numerous possibilities for planned gifts, three common opportunities are bequests, charitable gift annuities, and IRA rollovers.

BEQUEST A bequest is a gift from your estate – a transfer of cash, securities, or other property made through your estate plans. You can make a bequest to Friends’ Central by including language in your will or living trust leaving a portion of your estate to the School, or by designating Friends’ Central as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy. A bequest costs nothing now but gives you the satisfaction of knowing you have strengthened Friends’ Central in the future.

CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY In this arrangement where you irrevocably transfer assets to Friends’ Central and receive income for life, income will go to you or someone chosen by you. The trust can run for your lifetime or for a specified number of years; then the trust assets go to Friends’ Central. For such gifts to Friends’ Central, the School works with Friends Fiduciary Corporation.

IRA ROLLOVER This option was finally made permanent by the government this year. The charitable IRA rollover is designed for individuals age 70 1/2 or older to give directly to qualified charities and avoid tax obliga- tions you might incur from required or elective IRA distributions. The amount donated is not included in your adjusted gross income (AGI) and thus not subject to percentage limits for charitable deductions. Eliza E. Blackburn ’22

* Deceased ANNUAL REPORT OF GIFTS 2015-2016 35 THE CLASS OF 1966 REUNITED IN PERSON AND ONLINE

BY RICHARD MCCARRAHER ’66

Although it seems that, just yesterday, we were enjoying our carefree youth, we suddenly realized it has been 50 years! When the Class of 1966 first began to look ahead to our 50th Reunion milestone, we had no idea what to expect. The FCS Alumni/ae Office contacted Ruth Ann Wagner and Laurie Clement to ask them to help with the organizing. They then reached out to many classmates and found Eric Whiteway and me, Richard M, to complete the Reunion team.

From left: Laurie Clement, Ruth Ann and Laurie used the standard methods of phone Ruth Ann Wagner, Richard calls and letters to contact classmates. Meanwhile, Eric and McCarraher, and Eric Whiteway I wanted to rekindle the creative approach we were known sing the FCS Alma Mater at Reunion 2016 for 50 years ago. Of course, in 1966, we were restricted to using 35 mm cameras and telephone landlines. We decided to bring the Class of ’66 into the current world of computers and the internet. We used a Yahoo email account and a Facebook group to share the many pictures, writings, and video that we collected. We sent out weekly emails with stories of our time together to remind classmates of our days at Friends’ Central. Soon, many classmates began to respond with their own memories of our school days. We also exchanged information and pictures about our experiences and our family lives over the past 50 years. Ultimately, after many hours of work by Eric, an e-Book was created to commemorate our 50th Reunion with all our classmates – even those who could not attend Reunion.

Sadly, over the years, our Class has lost nine classmates. The entire Reunion team tracked down and contacted relatives of our deceased friends. Subsequently, we were able to share a tribute to each of our lost classmates at our Reunion dinner. It was especially nice that a spouse of one deceased classmate joined us for Reunion.

Our story cannot leave out our special 50th Reunion Class Gift. Our classmates responded generously to Eric Whiteway’s challenge - each giving what he/she could, and several giving much more than the challenge, so we were able to reach our goal. With the goal met, the Class has now achieved recognition in the form of a garden at Friends’ Central dedicated to current and future students. The garden is located in an area where students can sit and spend meaningful time. Our plaque displayed in the garden contains the following inspirational quote that we hope will touch students for generations to come:

“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” - Anne Frank

The Class of 1966 will continue to use technology to stay in touch with each other and with Friends’ Central School. We are grateful that we all reconnected!

Loyalty Donor Recognition We are grateful to our generous donors who have supported Friends’ Central School consistently every year. The icons in this Annual Report represent 10+, 20+, and 30+ years of giving.
