The Gift That Keeps on Giving – Flexible Deferred Gift Annuity
Marijean Flom '50
It is more than 60 years since I graduated from Lawrence in 1950. The fact that we have formed a committee and are working on plans for our reunion attests to the fact the one of the greatest legacies of my years at Lawrence has been the friendships that I made during those four years. Many of my classmates continue to be close and treasured friends today.
I married into a long line of Lawrentians when I married Richard Flom '48. My in-laws, Lois and Russ Flom, were very active alumni and I feel that they were my inspiration. Both Dick and I served on the Alumni Board and helped to develop the Twin Cities Alumni Club. At present I am a class agent. Dick's three siblings were Lawrence graduates and married Lawrentians. It was almost a given that our two sons, Rick '75 and David '83 also graduated from Lawrence and married classmates. Our daughter, Barb, went to Ripon '77. However, her son Eric Bohling '12 is now a student at Lawrence. He is the twenty third family member to attend.
With this background it was inevitable that I would want to support my alma mater. Several years ago I established a flexible deferred charitable gift annuity which is consistent with my financial situation. This planned gift arrangement will allow me a guaranteed fixed stream of income for the rest of my life. The remaining dollars will go to the Lois and Russ Flom Scholarship Fund. Because of my strong belief in the value of a liberal arts education I am particularly interested in the scholarship program. I know that my small gift will help.
I encourage others to consider becoming a member of the Legacy Circle. There are many ways in which you can make this contribution.

Dr. Irving Auld and Dorothy
Roher Auld Scholarship
"Many students take for granted what a university has to offer. However, I am thankful every single day for the opportunity to attend this prestigious school. At Lawrence, you have the ability to engage in Socratic debates about the world we live in at dinner, play recreational or NCAA sports, and talk one on one with brilliant professors. At Lawrence, you don't just 'learn' a subject, you are immersed in it. You dive into the liberal arts and these professors show you the beauty in it all, and how everything is tied together. I am a Biochemistry major with a soft spot for rocket science, philosophy, and evolution. Lawrence is my dream school, and it would have never been possible without the Dr. Irving Auld and Dorothy Roher Auld Scholarship. I am forever grateful for their generosity."

Grace Gates Scholarship and Schade Family Scholarship
"Lawrence has been a life changing opportunity. My experience here is made possible by the Grace Gates Scholarship and the Schade Family Scholarship. I will always be grateful for the generosity that made my life at Lawrence a reality. I am incredibly thankful for the amazing education and lifelong connections I have made here. Beyond a doubt, my time at Lawrence has been a multifarious experience; playing varsity soccer, working in the Volunteer and Community Service Center, and now serving as the President of the Lawrence University Community Council. The times spent at Lawrence will be carried with me and cherished for the rest of my life."

Lillian Seybold Wells Memorial Scholarship
"Hello, my name is Magdalen D'Alessio, I'm majoring in Psychology and minoring in Education Studies and History. I am extremely thankful to be a recipient of the Lillian Seybold Wells Memorial Scholarship as I have been able to further my education and pursue my extracurricular interests, including Dance Team, and participating in the many International programs offered on campus. I'm really glad to be able to attend Lawrence and hope to expand my knowledge of the world even further! In the near future, I plan to conduct an independent study regarding the relationship between the government and school systems and the importance of parental involvement!"
Joe Johnson, 2017
Amy Aplin Larsen Scholarship
"The Amy Aplin Larsen Scholarship has allowed me to pursue tons of opportunities at Lawrence as part of a liberal arts education. I have been able to take classes from close to a dozen different academic departments, perform in ensembles and theatre productions, and take part in shaping the Lawrence community. Regardless of what field I may go into, the connections I have made here at Lawrence with staff, faculty, and friends have been invaluable. Thank you!"
