Give Back! Please.

Discussing some of my favorite songs this week...  How about the song "Give a Little Bit" by Supertramp!  Great song.  One of my favorites--but the actual version I like is sung by the Goo Goo Dolls.  Not sure how they did it, but they made the song better by singing about helping other people (the original was a song about the singer's love towards his girlfriend).  

This post is going to cut right to the chase.  There are lots of people in need.  There are tons of organizations out there to help those people (churches, charities, etc.).  One of my favorite is actually the YMCA.  The Princess Anne YMCA, where I go to (along with my wife and two kids) is having a charity fundraiser, where the funds raised offset the costs for people participating in their programs.  From summer camps to help for disabled vets and Gold Star families, the YMCA at Princess Anne runs many helpful programs.  And they need funds.  Please consider donating here, and earmarking it for Virginia Beach Princess Anne YMCA.  I appreciate it.

Because I can turn anything to a push for better estate planning, I want to urge you to make a donation in your will or trust to a charitable organization.  A memorial donation in an estate plan can be set up by a licensed attorney.  Please contact me today to talk about setting one up.  There are a few rules that must be followed in Virginia to ensure things are handled properly, but they are perfectly legal and will be welcomed by the organization after you pass.  Lets talk!

Oh yeah!  Song lyrics:

Give a Little Bit

Sung by the Goo Goo Dolls

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll Give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you'll be surprised
So give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
Now's the time that we need to share
So send a smile, we're on our way back home
Oh yea, yea yea you gotta feel it
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea hey
Oh
Don't you need to feel at home?
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Oh, you gotta feel it
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Yea you come along too
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Oh you gotta sing
Come a long way
Tonight
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
So give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So send a smile, we're on our way back home
Yea come along too
(What you need)
(What you need)
(What you need)
Yea we gotta feel it

Cause I need to feel at home

Ooh come along too
Such a long ride
Come a long way
Ooh, sing it tonight
