May 28, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — Pamela Jones Davidson, a nationally-known speaker on philanthropic
planning and gift techniques, will give a special presentation at DePauw University on Friday, June 10, as part of Alumni Reunion Weekend 2011. Davidson will offer advice on "Smart Planning for Personal and Philanthropic Success" at 9 a.m. in Thompson Recital Hall, which is located within DePauw's Green Center for the Performing Arts.

What are practical and pragmatic ways for you to take care of family first, then decide who else will benefit from your estate? Can you be a giver to your favorite charities without hurting loved ones? Davidson will examine these questions and more.
