Laurie Manny Memorial Fund

Laurie Manny

 

 

Many of Laurie's friends have been chatting and realized that if we all sent flowers to her service in New York or to her Memorial Gathering in Long Beach there wouldn't be much room for people.  We have set up a Laurie Manny Memorial Fund for those who would like to make a donation.  I know there will be tons of flowers at her services in New York and we will be providing flowers in Long Beach so we thought that perhaps her friends might like to donate to a fund that will go to her family.  Your donation will not be tax deductible as you are sending a gift to a friend.

 We had thought we would be able to set it up with a national bank but the paperwork was more then seemed necessary.  Marlene Bridges is at her home in Palm Springs this week and was kind enough to inquire at a local bank and set up the account there.

Make Checks Payable to:   Laurie Manny Memorial Fund

Mail to:  

Attn: Tellers

El Paseo Bank

The Market Place

39580 Washington Street

Palm Desert, CA  92211

We plan to close the account on October 1 and distribute the money to the family at that time.   We will also have a place where you can make a donation at the Memorial Gathering in Long Beach for those who will be there.

If you have questions you can contact Kaye Thomas, Lynda Eisenmann or Marlene Bridges .  We hope to see you next Thursday iin Long Beach!

Kaye - it's a wonderful thing to do and will mean so much. I wish I could be at the memorial but it's a long commute from Scottsdale.

Hi Kaye ~ Thanks for getting the word out so very well. I'm looking forward to meeting Laurie's family next week and I'm sure a lot of others must feel the same way. It will be nice to show them the support.

Missy- I remember when my Dad passed away.. we were overrun with flowers and no idea of what to do with them so this made more sense.
