ALTRUISM unselfish concern for the welfare of others How bright our world would be if every person learned a new word every day. Place yourself before the mise en scene of our Annual Report cover and we hope you can feel the energy of a young mind reciting a word for which only its meaning holds more power than the moment itself. At The Marietta Community Foundation (MCF) we have the pleasure of meeting and working with altruistic people daily. Being so close to this we’re reminded again and again that the giving is the reward. Give back, pay forward, chip in, do your part…are all pretty tired catchphrases that have become more of a turn off than a motivation. At Marietta Community Foundation (MCF) we exist to simplify the motivation to give…For good, forever. So if it’s all for good and it’s that easy, why is the dearth of gifts more telling than the need? It can’t be about money, because on any given day, one can give of their time, of their knowledge, prayers or well wishes. It seems implausible that this wouldn’t be a daily practice for everyone, but the demands and needs of our society come at us in so many directions that it’s sometimes easier to just turn it off. Remember, it’s your choice, at your time, in whichever way feels right to you. At MCF we hope that today someone learns not just the spelling of, but the meaning of A-L-T-R-U-I-S-M, and that they pass it along to someone else. Forever there will be another word to learn, and for good a desideratum to overcome. If today is your day, we can serve as the conduit to the reward. Carol Wharff President & CEO noteS: mise en scene (mee-zan* SEN) — a French word meaning ’The setting or background of an event’ was the word of the day at www.wordsmith.org at the time of this writing, so I couldn’t help myself. Dearth — ‘An inadequate supply; scarcity; lack’ was the word of the day at www.dictionary.com Implausible — ‘not plausible; causing disbelief’ was the word of the day at www.superkids.com which appropriately has a word of the day vocabulary builder for 4th to 6th grades. Desideratum —‘something desired,’ came from the handy Roget’s Thesaurus as a synonym for need.
