ANNOUNCEMENT


At the Alcor Board meeting on Saturday, October 4th,  at 10:30am, trust attorney
Marvin Kantor will make a presentation to the Alcor Board and those others in 
attendance.  All Alcor members are welcome to attend the regular board meetings.
  Mr. Kantor will talk to Alcor about:


  1.    Personal trusts where Alcor Members can attempt to preserve their assets
  while they are in suspension and get them back at reanimation time.  There 
  are advantages to the cryonicist to use a 501c3 charity in these trusts.  That
  charity can be Alcor.  So when a member tries to "take it with him/her," so 
  to speak, Alcor will be getting dividends along the way.


  2.    Charitable remainder and charitable lead trusts.  Where members donate 
  appreciated assets to Alcor now in exchange for tax relief and other benefits 
  and sometimes a balance of first life cycle income.


  3.    Bequests.  Where people can leave money to Alcor at their legal death 
  and their estate gets certain tax benefits.

  Members who are planning to leave money to Alcor at their legal death can 
  learn ways that will help Alcor to get all the benefits they intended to leave
  to Alcor and minimize any interruptions or invasions of their plans.

  After the presentation, Mr. Kantor will answer any questions.


  For some Alcor members it might make good financial sense to investigate 
  certain approved strategies for their financial planning that give them tax 
  benefits, and at the same time help Alcor so that Alcor can do a better job 
  for them when the time comes.  I hope to see you there.

  David Pizer
