Howard and Kevin, thanks for the input. I didn't know that a collection was
actually started, just that we were thinking of the idea. I need to know how to
word the Obit concerning this.
I think we should mention this, because some people may want to give the money
in Bob's memory. I need to send the obit to the AZ Republic by Tuesday morning.
I hope this gets done in time for me to put it in the Obit. Usually, you set it
up with the National Math and Science Initiative right now so people can send
in donations themselves in Bob's name. If there isn't time, then I suppose you
are suggesting that people give money to PAS who will then give the money to
the charity. I could use help on how to word that. If it can't be set up so
that people
give directly to the charity, then at least Kevin or Howard hopefully could
contact the Charity to make sure this is happening so that what we put in the
Obit is accurate. I hope to hear from either of you asap so I can finish the
Obit.
I also need an email address for people to RSVP for the Celebration of Life on
Thursday. If no one gives me an email address, I'll use mine but I would rather
have an email address from PAS. Take care, and thanks for the help. Sam

OK.. I must have missed that we were going ahead with the idea. I was there on
Thursday and I didn't hear any mention of it..just the celebration of life.
Howard is, I believe, the only one who responded directly to the original
e-mail. I'm glad we are on board with it. The charity is the
National Math and Science Initiative.
Here is the charity's mission
statement:
NMSI’s mission is to improve student performance in the critical subjects of
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). NMSI’s programs transform
teaching, transform schools and are transforming education in the United
States.
I researched the charity via Charity navigator, a non-profit organization that
rates the viability of charities and the NMSI receives a 4 star rating, the
highest that Charity Navigator issues. This means that over 90% of donations go
to the charity's proposed programs and initiatives with less than 3% going to
administrative costs and salaries.
Here is the charity's website:

Dropped?!
I contacted Terri with my support of your donation idea and she followed up
with a collection that began at last Thursday night’s meeting and with continue
at next Thursday night’s meeting. She is collecting cash and checks (payable to
PAS) toward the club’s lump sum donation to that charity.
Please contact Terri and make sure she has all the details.

Sam,
I'm not sure of any scholarship fund. I proposed a donation in his name to a
charity that promotes Math and Science initiatives in students. I got minimal
feedback on that from anyone in the group, so I let it drop. Is that what you
were referring to?

I have talked to Mike Senzer, Bob's brother, to obtain additional
details. Attached is a more complete obituary. Again, if anyone has any
information on a scholarship fund that several PAS
members had proposed, I can add it to the end of the obituary stating that in
lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Bob's memory to........?
If anyone has information on Bob's full time job as Omnibudsman, let me know
asap. I am waiting to hear from others at PAS on the scholarship fund and the
Omnibudsman job. If nobody adds anything more, then I will send in the Obituary
as is to the AZ Republic and PAS newsletter Tuesday morning.
Take care, Sam Insana PAS member.

I have attached a very rough draft of an Obituary for Bob. If
anyone has any of the details that are left blank, please help out and attach
the information and get if back to Mike or Sam
asap. Also, if you want to make changes to the Obituary feel free to do so. We
need to send it to the Arizona Republic by Tuesday before noon to have it run
in time for our celebration
of life on Thursday. Thanks, Sam

Does anyone know the status of the scholarship in Bob's
memory. Also, should we submit an obituary to the Arizona Republic on Bob's
passing away, and perhaps mention the
celebration of life on Thursday at PVCC?
