Winter Farmer’s Market Expands

James Yang entertains market goers on a Saturday morning at the Winter Farmer’s Market

The Winter Farmers Market was expanded this year at Harmony School and was held every Saturday from January 27 to March 31.

The market offered fresh winter produce, prepared food, and crafts for sale to casual and regular shoppers.

The market also offered organic, free-range, and other natural approaches to nutrition. These efforts improve our relationship with other living creatures.

Shoppers were entertained by local musicians and Evan Voss, a magician and high school junior at Harmony, who was raising money for school trips and his senior project.

Planned Giving

During 2007, Harmony Education Center’s supporters who are at least 70 1/2 years old can donate up to $100,000 from traditional or Roth IRA accounts without incurring any income tax.

This tax law passed after Hurricane Katrina. It is one of many instruments called special, planned, or deferred gifts that may pose additional tax benefits for donors.

Bequests, trusts, and any other property of value can be contributed to the Campaign for Harmony. Scott and Mary Beth are ready to meet with donors as they explore these methods of giving.
