A Conversation with the CEONote: A Conversation with the CEO is animpromptu exchange between Eagle editorKevin Scott and CEO Steve Fuller. Thisconversation does not make official policyannouncements. Those are made throughResident Updates. This exchange took placethe week of 18 to 22 October.Steve Fuller: Let’s wrap up some topics whichhave been in previous issues. What’s yourview of the status of the Texas ConstitutionalAmendment Election on November 2nd? Is thistoo late to mention?Kevin Scott: No, we revisit the election detailswith a sample ballot in an online Eagle Extragoing out the weekend of 23-24 October and30-31 October. This edition of the Novemberissue is distributed the evening of 29 October.This election would have greater publicity if itwere also for candidates for elective office.SF: Some folks have fallen prey to scammerswho impersonate authority figures such as lawenforcement, asking for payments of moneyusing gift cards.A key element of these crimes is the scammerinsisting that the victim act right away withoutchecking obvious details. Perhaps the articlethat explains this scam could be madeavailable again.KS: It will reappear in our online edition.SF: Good. There were several past articles inThe Eagle which used the term “Gifting withBenefits.” They focused on a tax advantagewhen an individual makes a charitabledonation directly from their IndividualRetirement Account (IRA) to a 501(3)(c)organization. Making those available againmight be useful information to many Residents.And Prop. 6, which reads, “. . . establishing aright for residents of certain facilities todesignate an essential caregiver for in-personvisitation."Our Director ofDevelopment, AnnaSweeden, is the staffexpert regardingphilanthropy and charitablegiving. Her office is in thefront administrative area tothe right of the High-Risefront reception desk. Heroffice phone is 210-6465461, or emailasweeden@armyresidence.com. (Click onBoth are expected to pass.Anna’s photo for a hyperlink with information.)SF: Different subject. You had a recent articleregarding phone calls and email messagestrying to trick or “scam” an older person intosending money or financial account informationto a third party. That was quite relevant.Anna provides valuable information aboutcharitable donation opportunities here, andResidents can discuss the resulting taxadvantages with their financial adviser. Do youhave an example from your own experience?Scams are difficult to prosecute, since a phonecall or email message could have originatedanywhere. Have you received any?KS: Sure. There’s a document showing theIRS had recognized the ARC as a 501(c)(3)organization, so that distributions from ourIRA’s will be treated as charitable donations.(Page 6 has a copy of document.). When mywife and I consulted with Anna, she gave us acopy to give our financial adviser when weplanned distributions from our respective IRA’s.We let Anna know how much of the distributionwe intended for the Capital Campaign, andhow much for to the Smith Fund.SF: Which propositions on the ballot might beof interest to Residents?KS: Prop. 3, which reads, “. . . to prohibit thisstate or a political subdivision of this state fromprohibiting or limiting religious services ofreligious organizations."KS: Like most Residents, I get calls about carwarranties; or my Social Security account hasbeen stolen and my benefits are cut off; theIRS wants an immediate payment with amoney order for a tax return error; or Amazonis ready to ship me a 1,500 computer and if Ididn’t submit this order, I must Press 1 tospeak to a manager, and so on.4 The Eagle November 2021
A Conversation with the CEOTuesday, 19 October: The first responders from Bexar County Emergency Service District #10 receive a checkfrom Residents in the amount of 24,447.32 to be used for lifesaving equipment.SF: That is a great example and thank you foryour support! I would encourage residents toplease visit with Anna and to discuss thedistribution with the custodian of your IRA andyour financial adviser. They need tounderstand your intent is to make a charitabledonation for tax purposes, thus creating a winwin situation both for the donor and the ARC.The distribution should go to the ArmyRetirement Residence Foundation, the nameof our 501(c)(3) organization.KS: Yes, and when the distribution, in the formof a check from each IRA account, wasreceived at the ARC, it was divided betweenthe Capital Campaign and the Smith Fund inthe amounts we had specified to Anna.SF: Before this conversation turns into aseminar, let’s remember that donations to thecharities of the ARC, such as the CapitalCampaign, can be from any source and in anyamount, not just an IRA distribution. In theResident Portal of our community’s websitethere is the tab “ARC CAPITAL CAMPAIGN,”which outlines the type of information aResident would discuss with Anna. Pleasevisit this page as it covers nearly everythingyou would like to know.In the time and space remaining, I’d like tosincerely thank the Residents who supportedthe fundraiser for Bexar County EmergencyService District #10, the first responders whodeal with emergencies here on campus. Thefundraiser was coordinated and organized bythe ARC’s Golden K Kiwanis club, although allthe donations came from residents. The verysuccessful result was a donation of 24,447.32to the BCESD #10.We are so excited that we’re reopening ARCamenities after the threat from the COVIDpandemic has reduced. Our community hasreally come together to protect one anotherwith 99% of residents and 97% of staffcurrently vaccinated. These are extremelyhigh vaccination rates.I sincerely appreciate the patience and positiveattitude among residents and staff as we worktogether to continue our staggered reopeningplans and adjust our operations accordingly.Special thanks to the Patriot Committee forproducing a Veterans Day broadcast on ourCommunity Information Channel.Have a blessed month of November!November 2021 The Eagle 5

Overseveral months I would run into Jerry dressedin shorts and hiking boots; I noticed he wasalways carrying a pack on his back. One time Iasked him about this. He answered that hewas going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Mythoughts took me back to movies I had seen orbooks I’d read about the excitement anddanger of mountain climbing.I was born and raised in Oregon. I attendedcollege in Portland, and the view from lowercampus was Mt. Hood in all her glory. My firstteaching job was east of the city. Eachmorning I approached my school with the sunrising behind that mountain and left in theafternoon with the rays of the setting sunstriking the front of the mountain.
