"As University School of Milwaukee strives to foster ongoing relationships, I am proud to help advance the efforts of our alma mater as the Alumni Association President. Your involvement in USM traditions and educational program changes, as well as your participation in reunions and events, helps shape our school community for students and alumni.

This is a dynamic time to be involved with our alma mater. There are a number of exciting new initiatives currently underway as part of the Our Common Bond campaign, and I encourage you to come experience these initiatives first hand. If you find yourself passing through the area, please do not hesitate to stop by the school and say hello. The students and faculty love to see alumni on campus, and we would enjoy catching up with you."

End of Year Giving
 
If implemented, changes in Federal tax law now being considered in Congress may significantly affect your ability to itemize charitable deductions in 2018, so taking every advantage of current tax law is worth considering.

If you are interested in learning more about a couple types of charitable gifts that may also provide you with tax savings—as well as some logistics, should you choose to make a gift to USM before the end of 2017—please continue reading here. As always, as you plan your year-end charitable giving, please consult with your tax advisor to ensure the best choices for your individual situation.
