National OASIS News Winter-Spring 2013

Recognizing 30 Years of Macy’s Support Macy’s and the former May Department Stores Company have been a pillar of support for OASIS since its founding in 1982. At its November 2012 meeting, the OASIS Institute Board of Directors recognized and thanked Macy’s for its remarkable 30 years as a national sponsor of OASIS. The company has provided OASIS with funding, dedicated space in its stores and other services over the past 30 years. Today Macy’s hosts OASIS centers in seven locations. “We are deeply grateful to Macy’s for their extraordinary record of support,” said Cindy Brinkley, chairman of the OASIS Institute Board. “Their sponsorship launched OASIS to become a national organization that has joined forces with hundreds of community partners to be an advocate for productive, successful aging.”

OASIS Mission Valley Where is Religion Headed in the 205 United States? Steven Cassedy, UCSD Literature Professor Religion has famously occupied a position in the United States unlike that in most European nations. It dominates political, social, and moral issues in a way that it no longer does in Western Europe. And yet the last few years have brought significant changes to religious life in the United States. Fewer Americans than ever consider themselves 'affiliated.' The 'New Atheists' have emerged as a force to be reckoned with. A new type of spiritualism, unconnected with conventional religious denominations, has arisen. This lecture will explore some of the new trends in American religious life.

The visual arts enabled the Greeks to create a model of civilized living for the world. Greek architects looked on their temples not as buildings but as monumental pieces of sculpture. Yet, the Ancient Greek pursuit of ideal and harmonious forms would reveal a different sensibility as Alexander the Great set out to conquer the entire known world. Hellenistic Greek art would express emotion and turmoil over earlier interests of harmony and order. This will be an engaging lecture with an informative handout.

Judging the empire could be more securely ruled from the East, a new capital city called Constantinople developed rapidly and flourished as a second 'Rome.'

OASIS Mission Valley Travel Trips Space Shuttle 'Endeavour' at the 312 California Science Center After a harrowing ride through the streets of Los Angeles, the space shuttle Endeavour is now on display in a California Science Center Display Pavilion. But first we are scheduled to see the Blue Planet IMAX movie. Featuring footage taken by crews during five space shuttle missions, audiences will see a view of their global home that is as close to being in orbit with the astronauts as one can possibly get! It is a fitting preliminary for the companion exhibit -Endeavour: The California Experience, featuring images and artifacts that relate to the space shuttle program in California. This shuttle completed 25 missions into space including the first service mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The Center has many more exhibits and it is just steps away from the fabulous African American Museum (free admission). Lunch is on your own in the Science Center – or bring your own to eat on the outside patio or in the Rose Garden.

‘Ramona’ Outdoor Drama in Hemet 314 The Ramona Pageant performed in an outdoor amphitheatre in Hemet, has delighted audiences since 1923. The romance and tragedy of Ramona and Allessandro, the Indian, transfixes the crowd as they watch their story unfold, offering a glimpse, though fictional, of the history of Southern California. Helen Hunt Jackson wrote the novel Ramona in 1884 to stimulate greater concern for the Mission Indians of California. And a great fictional heroine was born! We are including the ‘Whole Enchilada’ package: a pre-show BBQ Tri-Tip lunch with all the fixings, lower level seating with a comfy seat cushion, as well as a voucher for your souvenir program. Before the show, be sure to browse the museum– after 90 seasons, there is a LOT of stuff to see! Sunday Apr 21 12:00 - 8:15 Fee: $79 Day Trips

'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers': A 315 Musical at La Mirada ‘Goin’ courting’ has never been as much fun as in this rip-roaring stage version of the popular MGM movie! And we all remember that movie! Millie is a young bride living in 1850’s Oregon wilderness whose plan to civilize and marry off her six rowdy brothers-in-law to ensure the success of her own marriage just plain backfires! In their enthusiasm, the brothers kidnap six women from a neighboring town to be their brides. Bursting with the rambunctious energy of the original film, ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ is all the boisterous fun and romance that harkens back to the glory days of the movie musical.

Jewelry making kits will be provided at a cost of $15 – cash only – to the instructor. Additional supplies will be discussed in class. Wednesday Apr 3 2:00 - 4:00 Escondido Senior Center Fee: $10

Why support OASIS? We believe in OASIS' critical programs and services focused on meaningful aging and community service. While the classes are mostly covered through class fees, we rely on donations and grants to bring our health, anti-obesity and tutoring programs to the most underserved populations in the San Diego region. Please consider supporting OASIS through any of the vehicles listed below. Ways to give and support OASIS Current Gifts

Planned Gifts

• • • • 

• • • • •

Cash Stocks Life Insurance Real Estate: Land (undeveloped parcels, vacant lots, parking lots, farms/ranches)  Investment property (residential, commercial, industrial)  Vacation property (no timeshares)  Personal residence

Bequest Charitable Gift Annuities Charitable Trusts Life Estate Reserved Retirement assets

More about each type of gift Cash Cash gifts are paper bills, checks and credit cards. Gifts of cash are deductible at their value up to 50% of the donor’s adjusted gross income. The deduction can be carried over for five years. Stocks Stock gifts are often advantageous to the donor, especially stocks that have significantly increased in value. When the donor sells stock, the donor must pay capital gains taxes on the increased value. However, if the donor chooses to give appreciated stock to charity, such as OASIS, the donor pays no tax on the gain and receives an income tax deduction for the full value of the stock. Publicly traded securities will be accepted by OASIS. We will immediately sell the securities and put the proceeds towards supporting our programs in the community. Closely Held Securities will be considered by OASIS, case by case. We can explore methods of liquidation through redemption or sale. Life Insurance Many individuals own a paid-up life insurance policy that has been filed away. If your life insurance policy is no longer needed or will no longer benefit your survivors, please consider making a gift. Making OASIS 100% owner and beneficiary of a policy provides an income tax deduction to the donor.

88

Real Estate A donation of real estate helps the donor achieve his/her charitable goals and provides the donor with maximum tax benefits allowed by law. Similar to the gift of stock, the donor avoids capital gains taxes by giving a gift of real estate. OASIS can help you convert your real estate holdings into charitable gifts to support OASIS' programs in the entire San Diego region. Bequest Please consider including San Diego OASIS in your estate plans. The donor may choose to gift OASIS a specific amount, a percentage of the estate, a certain asset within the estate, the remainder of the estate or the entire estate. Let us know if you have included OASIS in your estate plan - we want to celebrate you and recognize you as a Legacy Member. Charitable Gift Annuity OASIS has a partnership with The San Diego Foundation which allows our members to participate in the Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) program. CGAs are the perfect life income gift when interest rates are low. Such IRS-approved gifts allow a donor to give and to get. The donor gets guaranteed payments for life while committing the remainder to OASIS to further its mission -- forever. There is no cost to set up a CGA. Creating a CGA does not require an attorney. Charitable Trusts: Charitable Remainder, Charitable Annuity, Charitable Lead Trusts There are many ways a donor can set up a charitable trust to benefit the donor and/or the donor's family while designating OASIS to receive a gift. Depending on the type of trust, OASIS would receive the remainder assets or certain payments from the trust. Creating a charitable trust requires services of an attorney; the cost of setting up a charitable trust will be equal to the legal fees charged by your attorney. Life Estate Reserved In this charitable giving vehicle, the donor continues to live in his/her residence, pay the property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. The donation, which is the donor's residence, will be received by San Diego OASIS after the donor's passing. Retirement Assets A gift of retirement assets, such as IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension and other tax deferred plans, is an excellent way to support OASIS's mission.
