DESCRIPTION:First known as Armistice Day\, President Woodrow Wilson set aside the day of November 11 (the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice ending World War I) to recognize and thank our American soldiers for their service. This day was declared a National Holiday in 1938\, and in 1954 the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor all American Veterans. \n“The soldier above all others prays for peace\, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” —Douglas MacArthur \nCONTACT US

SUMMARY:Wade Cleveland - Rotary Exchange Program
DESCRIPTION:Youth Exchange is a study-abroad opportunity for young people who spend anywhere from a few weeks to a full year as an international student hosted by local Rotary clubs.\nAre you interested in learning a new language or meeting new people? Rotary Youth Exchange is the opportunity of a lifetime for the more than 8\,000 students who participate each year. By sharing your own culture and embracing a new one\, you help foster global understanding—and learn a great deal about yourself and your home country in the process.\nWhat is a Rotary Youth Exchange?\nIs an exchange right for me?\nExchanges are for people ages 15–19 who:\nHave demonstrated leadership in their school and community\nAre flexible and willing to try new things\nAre open to cultural differences\nCan serve as an ambassador for their own country\nHow much does it cost?\nCosts vary from country to country. Local Rotary clubs generously host students and provide room and board with a host family and a small monthly stipend. Participants are generally responsible for:\nRound-trip airfare\nInsurance\nTravel documents (such as passports and visas)\nSpending money\, additional travel\, and tour fees\nHow can I apply?\nLearn more about the types of programs offered\, and specific application process required. Because the selection and orientation process can be lengthy\, we suggest you apply 6­–12 months before you plan to leave.\nCan I host an exchange student?\nHosting an exchange student can be an incredibly rewarding experience for your family\, providing an international experience without leaving home. Host families provide room and board and share their lives with exchange students\, involving them in family\, community\, and cultural activities.\nInterested in learning more about being a host family? \nCONTACT US

SUMMARY:Bill Reynolds\, Aiken County Capital Project Sales Tax V
DESCRIPTION:If voters in Aiken County approve Capital Project Sales Tax V in November\, it would generate more than $260 million that could be used to pave dirt roads\, construct new facilities and more. \nCounty Council’s ad hoc study committee received a report from county staff about the projected revenue during a meeting Tuesday at the Aiken County Government Center. \nThe total amount was based on population figures and point of sale data from the S.C. Department of Revenue\, the county’s deputy administrator and chief financial officer\, Lynn Strom\, told the committee. \nCounty staff used the same data to determine how the money would be divided among the county and its 10 municipalities. \n Aiken County Council considers selling land in Sage Mill Industrial Park\nThe county would receive the biggest chunk of the proceeds\, $127.6 million. \nAiken’s share would be $79.7 million \nNorth Augusta would receive $48.6 million. \nBurnettown and New Ellenton would get $2.4 million and $2.03 million\, respectively. \nWagener would receive $1.6 million\, and Jackson’s share would be $1.2 million. \nPerry and Salley would get $256\,000 and $271\,000\, respectively. \nWindsor’s share would be $206\,000. \nMonetta would receive $190\,000. \nCounty staff wanted to make sure that all the municipalities would receive at least 15 percent more from Capital Project Sales Tax V than they did from Capital Project Sales Tax IV\, based on projections. \nCONTACT US

SUMMARY:William Tucker\, Wills and Trusts
DESCRIPTION:While Wills and Trusts do have a lot of overlap\, there are also several differences between the two. Ultimately\, both are ways to say who will receive your assets. They just do it in different ways\, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.  \nOne big difference between the two is in how and when they take effect. Wills don’t go into effect until you pass away\, whereas a Trust is effective immediately upon signing and funding it.  \nIt may be easier to think of a Will as a “simple” document. Wills allow you to:  \nName guardians for kids and pets\nDesignate where your assets go\nSpecify final arrangements\nWhile it is an easier process\, the simplicity of a Will does come with some drawbacks. For example\, Wills offer somewhat limited control over the distribution of assets. They also most likely have to go through some sort of probate process after you pass away. \nA Trust is a bit more complicated\, but can provide some great benefits. Trusts:  \nOffer greater control over when and how your assets are distributed\nApply to any assets you hold inside the Trust\nCome in many different forms and types\nKeep in mind that after you create a Trust\, you also need to fund it by transferring assets to it\, making the Trust the owner. This does make Trusts a little more complex to set up\, but note that Trusts have one major benefit over Wills. They’re often used to minimize or avoid probate entirely\, which is a huge plus for some people. This alone could more than justify the additional complexity of setting up a Trust. \nBill joined Hull Barrett in 1980 and is a senior partner in the Aiken office of the firm. He practices in the areas of estate planning\, probate\, real estate\, and business/corporate law and has extensive experience on wealth transfer issues for individuals and owners of closely held businesses\, the administration of decedents’ estates\, as well as residential and commercial real estate transactions and small business transfers. \nCONTACT US
