Sage Society
Sage Society members have made gifts to the Center totaling $10,000 or more over the course of their giving history. Inspiration for the name of this new donor recognition group comes from The Way of Lao-tzu:
"The sage does not accumulate for himself.
The more he uses for others, the more he has for himself.
The more he gives to others, the more he
possesses of his own."
