MESSAGE FROM THE BOARDROOM November is an ideal month to have a discussion about finances, taxes, and charitable giving. I would like to share some ideas about the most tax-effective way to both support your charitable giving and reduce your taxes. The passage of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in December 2017 eliminated most itemized deductions and the personal exemption, only retaining the mortgage deduction, state and local tax deduction capped at $10,000, medical expense deduction, and the charitable deduction. While eliminating many deductions, the tax bill increased the minimum standard deduction to $12,000 per person or $24,000 for a married couple. For persons aged 65 or older, an additional deduction of $1,300/$26,000 was established. The result of the above was that individuals without a mortgage payment and without sub-stantial medical expenses would not be able to itemize their deductions without a substantial charitable deduction of $16,600 or $26,600. Adding to the problem is the requirement to distribute amounts from various retirement plans such as IRAs and 401ks via the Required Minimum Deduction. This requirement not only increases your taxable income but can also greatly increase your Social Security Part B monthly payment. The most effective way to avoid this situation and still make substantial charitable contribu-tions if you are at least 70 ½ is to utilize a device known as the Qualified Charitable Deduc-tion (QCD). Various investment brokers have set up charitable entities to accept the contribu-tions and then distribute them to the organizations you designate. You should try to find an investment firm that allows you to write a check directly to its charitable entity. This will allow you to give relatively small amounts to several different charities and not be charged excessive fees.

By using the QCD, you can totally eliminate federal taxes on your required minimum distri-

bution and provide support with your contributions to the University Club and other qualified

charitable organizations.

Contract in the Age of Individualism by Yuval Levin.

THE RIGHT TO VOTETHE RIGHT TO VOTETHE RIGHT TO VOTETHE RIGHT TO VOTE————FOR WOMEN!FOR WOMEN!FOR WOMEN!FOR WOMEN!

T he ever-popular Dave Robinson returns to our stage to entertain, inform, amuse, and enlighten!

When the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920, all women in the United States finally had the right to vote in political elections. This victory was won only after a long and arduous struggle by many determined and perseverant women. This presentation examines the history of the events and people that brought the Women’s Suffrage Movement to success—fewer than 100 years ago—and commemorates the hard-won accomplishment!

Dave speaks on many subjects—most recently here, on Eleanor Roosevelt—and is super enthusiastic about all of them! You are guaranteed entertainment, but you will also go home more knowledgeable than when you arrived!

Reserve early—he always draws a crowd!

Election Analysis

U niversity Club member Gordon Kerr had a long career in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, and spent a year man-

aging a successful Senate campaign. Like many of us, he has been con-sumed with the ups and downs of this year’s national and state elections, which seem to be more tumultuous and more significant than almost any in recent memory.

He will try to explain the hows and whys of what happened, and will share some of the most effective campaign commercials and the biggest mistakes.

Other topics include (1) Queen Nefertiti, she of the elongated skull, whose parents and origins are not known; (2) liquid mercury, used in producing electricity, which has been found under the pyramid in Teotihuacan; and (3) the recently discovered lines (twenty-four of them) that have been discovered in Peru—older than the original Nazca lines.

Tue. Nov. 13 ECONOMICS FOR THE LAYPERSON - What They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism. Capitalism is often thought to be the single greatest force for eradicating poverty and for raising living standards. But is what we’re told about capitalism really true? Is there really a free market? Are humans really rational utility- maximizers? Does wealth trickle down or up? Can the government pick winners and losers? Should we care only about our own selfish interests and let the market handle the rest? Join us in the library to weigh in! Chair: Matt Giles

1:00 p.m. CONTRACT BRIDGE - Meets weekly. This is a casual, friendly group. If you are interested or have ques-tions, contact Max at [email protected] or 407-625-1664 for more information or to get your name on the email list. Chair: Max Reed

Thu. Nov. 15 FILM NIGHT – Funny Girl. The movie where Barbra Streisand became, once and forever, Barbra. Funny Girl follows the early career of stage comedienne Fanny Brice, a role that earned Barbra Streisand the 1968 Oscar for Best Actress. As the film opens, only her mother believes Fanny can make it in show business. Her hilarious debut as a roller-skating chorus girl gets her hired as a comedienne. A year later Fanny is working for Florenz Ziegfeld in his famous Follies and brings the house down with an outrageous and unplanned number. Fanny becomes a star, falls in love, and marries Nick Arnstein (Omar Sharif), a handsome gambler whose luck doesn’t hold up. The film’s many memorable songs include “Don’t Rain on My Parade” and the Streisand classic “People.” Funny Girl is an undisputed classic of that genre. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., movie starts at 7:00 p.m. Chair: Ovid Vitas

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 26, 2018

Mon. Nov. 26 DOCUMENTARY CINEMA - The Spanish American War. The Spanish-American War united an adolescent nation and paraded its global ambitions for all to see, while heralding the descent of a tired Spanish empire. In this documentary, the conflict comes to life as it was presented to people at that time through the accounts of newspapers nationwide. From the slow buildup of public sentiment against Spain to the sensationalistic cover-age of the explosion of the USS Maine, the forces, personalities, and events of the war that secured America a place on the world stage are relived. They include the fiery rhetoric of “yellow journalism” pioneer William Randolph Hearst, along with Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders as they charge up San Juan Hill.

Chair: Ovid Vitas



1:00 p.m. NONFICTION BOOK DISCUSSION - His Excellency: George Washington by Joseph J. Ellis, 352 pages (2004). Ellis, an acclaimed biographer of the Founding Fathers, here turns his attention to our first president, using newly catalogued Washington papers at the University of Virginia to fashion a well-researched and highly readable account of his life. Chair: John Perry

5:45 p.m. EVENING CURRENT EVENTS - Discussion of important issues of the day. All are encouraged to contribute to selecting topics and taking part in the discussion. Chair: Aaron Liberman

Tue. Nov. 27 PHILOSOPHICAL DISCUSSION - Evolutionary Psychology. We will review and discus this lecture from Professor Steven Gimbel's Great Course DVD: “Redefining Reality: The Intellectual Implications of Modern Science.” As a Professor of Philosophy at Gettysburg College, Professor Gimbel focuses on the philosophy of science, exploring the nature of scientific reasoning and the interaction of science and culture. Humans are the result of an evolutionary process. If evolution favored our big brains, is natural selection also responsible for aspects of its functioning? As a species, we trace back to a band of individuals who came out of Africa about 250,000 years ago, and we now see common behaviors and desires across the globe. Because some of these would have been advantageous to our ancestors, we might surmise that they are the result of evolution working on our brains. But what, then, accounts for altruism? How could being kind be advantageous to survival in a dangerous world? Could it be that we evolved as part of the world and, thus, are programmed to care for it? These are but a couple of the questions that Professor Gimbel raises in this thought-provoking lecture. Chair: Richard Kronenfeld

1:00 p.m. CONTRACT BRIDGE - Meets weekly. This is a casual, friendly group. If you are interested or have questions, contact Max at [email protected] or 407-625-1664 for more information or to get your name on the email list. Chair: Max Reed
