HELP ST. MALACHI CENTER & SAVE SOME TAXES!
Between now & December 31, 2007, taxpayers over age 70 1/2 can avoid paying income tax on IRA distributions of up to $100,000 by donating them directly from tax-deferred IRAs to qualified charitable organizations (such as a church or other tax exempt organizations such as
St. Malachi Center). What this could mean: if your required minimum distribution is $10,000 & you are in the 15% tax bracket, you could donate the $10,000 directly to
St. Malachi Center & NOT pay $1,500 in federal income tax. Please note that amounts excluded from income under this provision cannot be counted in determining the charitable contribution deduction. Consult your financial advisor for details.
ST. MALACHI CENTER GOLF OUTING
Please pick up your brochure & registration for St. Malachi
Center's 15th Annual Golf Outing in the back of the Church or in the rectory. The outing is Friday, August 31 at Coppertop at Cherokee Hills Golf Club in Valley City. It is a great day of golf, games of skill, raffles, food, and more! To reserve your foursome or sponsor part of
the
event, call Ginny Suhr at 216.771.3036 for more
information.
