I gave a talk at the Legacy of Thanksgiving dinner for Legacy, A Regional Community Foundation, established in 1996 in Crowley County, KS. This fourth annual event recognizes the many people who have contributed over $1 million to the foundation for the benefit of generations of citizens.
Legacy has some innovative programs to assist those less fortunate like providing dental care for young children, special programs for young people decided upon by a panel of high schoolers, and other donor specified projects. This is a great example of how people in rural areas are showing their generous nature and positively altering their towns forever.
The motto of Legacy is an old Chinese proverb, “A wise man plants trees under which he will never sit.” Another saying that I like is: “If it is to be, it is up to me.”
