Gamlas
Vanner is Swedish for “friends of the elderly.”
Membership in the Gamlas Vanner Society is reserved for
donors who give $5,000 or more to the Scandinavian Home
or have made a provision to bequeath $5,000 or more through
their estate plan.
Too often, we are not aware of who our benefactors
are until after they pass away. The Gamlas Vanner Society
provides a means to honor and thank you during your lifetime
for generous gifts given today or promised for the future.
If you wish to become a member of the Society
by making a bequest, simply notify us in writing and provide
evidence that you have included The Scandinavian Home as
a beneficiary in your will or life insurance. You do not
need to know the exact amount your gift will eventually
be.
The name of each distinguished member of
the Gamlas Vanner Society is permanently inscribed on one
of the tiles which border the beautiful mural in the entrance
to the Home.
We encourage
you to consider making your gift to the 75th Anniversary
Endowment Campaign at a level that entitles you to membership
in the Gamlas Vanner Society. Many members have given gifts
as a remembrance of a loved one or in appreciation for the
care their family member received. Membership is also a
wonderful way to commemorate a special occasion such as
a birthday or anniversary. Periodically, a special dinner
is held to honor members of the Society. We hope to be able
to welcome you into the Gamlas Vanner Society at the next
event.
