Foundation hosts seminar on giving

The ASME Foundation will host a seminar, "Planning for the Future — A Planned Giving Seminar," at ASME headquarters in New York on May 27.

The educational program will be offered free of charge to anyone who wants to learn how to achieve personal financial goals while helping to advance engineering and the work of the ASME Foundation.

Attendees will also be treated to a lunch and personal tour of ASME's offices and its collection of artifacts, including Henry Ford's application for ASME Membership signed by Thomas Edison.

Participants will then proceed to the New York Public Library, Science, Industry and Business Library for a private tour of the exhibit "The Subway at 100 — General William Barclay Parsons and the Birth of the NYC Subway."

General William Barclay Parsons, whose engineering skill made the NYC subway a reality, was the system's first chief engineer and was the founder of Parsons Brinkerhoff Inc.

Space is limited. For details, contact Warren Leonard, director of development, at leonardw@asme.org, or (212) 591-7846.
