Audrey pitches in When the village of Bryn Mawr held a community celebration recently, honoring 19 of its institutions that are more than 100 years old, Beaumont Marketing Director Audrey Walsh was on the spot to help with the honoring. Here she is giving her all to what was billed as an “olde-time game” called “Graces;” elsewhere she handed out shopping bags with the Beaumont logo and answered questions about our Beaumont community. “Hopefully we will be able to celebrate Beaumont’s 100th someday,” Pooh Gephart, Dean of Students at the Baldwin School, told Audrey.

New committees making their bow By Mary Graff Members of two newly reconstituted resident committees have begun putting their heads together on the Beaumont scene: a new Committee for the Beaumont Fund and a reconstructed Resident Services Committee. In the careful words of President Joe Fortenbaugh, who does not wish to raise the specter of gimlet-eyed fund raisers chasing their fellow residents through the halls, the former will be discussing “means of communicating opportunities for Beaumont residents and others to make tax-deductible donations to fund general or specific activities, including deferred giving.” The trustees traditionally do not directly solicit for the fund, Joe emphasized, nor do they deal with finances or act upon any financial matter regarding it, financial matters being solely within
the purview of the Beaumont Retirement Services, Inc. (BRSI) Board, to which the committee will be responsible. Peggy Mainwaring, already a trustee of the Beaumont Fund, will be heading that committee temporarily. Other members are Barbara Clothier, Pauline Foster, Raymond Freudberg, Geraldine Paier, John Place, Bobbi Rosen, Edward Rosen, and Alan Tripp. The Resident Services Committee has been closemouthed so far about the ideas they have been continued on page 4
