Advancement News Brother George Synan Society Planned Giving Dinner The Brother George Synan Society Dinner was held February 6, 2014, at Lochmoor Golf Club. Brother Dennis Malloy FSC, Provincial of the District of Eastern North America, was the scheduled speaker. Unfortunately, he was stranded in Chicago by the unyielding winter weather. “We didn’t know until just hours before the Dinner that Br. Dennis’s flight had been cancelled,” said Director of Advancement Chris Czarnik. “So, it was a little like when the power goes out at home and you light some candles and enjoy the company of your family.” As it turned out, the Dinner was one of the most memorable gatherings of the Society, which honors those who have made commitments to the future of De La Salle through a planned gift. Jane Kay Nugent, widow of Bob Nugent, ‘42, and Bill Fox, ‘50, spoke emotionally about how the school’s Lasallian mission had touched their lives. Both Jane and Bill also urged prospective members to take the simple steps to join the Society. For more information about Planned Giving, contact Chris Czarnik at 586.778.3356.
