CalTrout
When I was getting ready to retire a few years ago, I contacted Curtis Knight and told him that I was interested in finding a way to contribute my writing skills to the cause of CalTrout's mission. Over a cup of coffee across from the CalTrout office on Pine Street, we hatched the idea of having me write articles for the new online magazine, The Current.
Over the past few years I have authored six feature articles about the core work of CalTrout, which in addition to being personally satisfying has given me a much deeper appreciation of CalTrout's talented staff and incredibly important work.
Just recently I decided to take my support of CalTrout one step further by making a legacy gift to do my part to help ensure that CalTrout remains a vibrant organization long into the future.
As it turns out, it was simple to do: I filled out a beneficiary form for my 401(K) account and assigned a percentage to CalTrout, which my wife and I signed and had notarized.
I would encourage other CalTrout members to consider leaving your own mark on the future by making a legacy gift. Your values will live on, benefiting watersheds and the people who love and preserve them.
