THE PUMPKINS ARE COMING!! SAVE THE DATE!!

On Sunday, September 29, at 12:30 p.m., Wilmington United Methodist Church will receive its annual delivery of pumpkins, and we need your help!

This event is a community effort, so we're calling on everyone to pitch in. While the Troop will be on hand to assist, we'll need volunteers to help count, guide, and direct the pumpkin delivery.

The Pumpkins are Coming!! Save the date!
Sunday, September 29, at 12:30 p.m. We will be receiving our annual delivery of pumpkins. This is all hands on deck. The Troop will be here to help, but we need people to help count, guide, and direct. We are looking forward to another successful year!

QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION

Did you know you are taxed three times on your RMD (required minimum distribution) from the IRA?

First in your regular federal tax, then as a part of the calculation to determine the portion of your social security benefits subject to tax, and finally in your state tax return. You can avoid this triple taxation on the portion withdrawn as a QCD (qualified charitable distribution).

The institution holding your IRA will have all the necessary paperwork to help you make QCDs. This may also keep you from moving into a higher tax bracket. I use QCDs for most of our charitable contributions including our quarterly church pledge payments allowing us to contribute more than we could otherwise pay.

If you have any questions I welcome your call at 978-657-7789 or 978-417-1000.
