Legacy Poster
The Legacy poster combines the Legacy Poem & a photo of the sun shining across the water off the coast of Robben Island (South Africa). Greg wrote the poem when he was 23 -- just before he began his work in the community. The poem highlights the legacy we leave when we involve & empower others in our efforts to serve and give. The poem does within a metaphor about building a bridge. Greg took the photo 12 years later, while serving as Scholar-in-Residence for a civic engagement program in South Africa. Combined together, the photo & the poem represent the idea that, whether you are an older adult like Nelson Mandela (represented by the 2008 photo from South Africa) or a young person (represented by the poem written by Greg in 1996), you are never too old or too young to think about your Legacy. The Legacy Poem Posters have been used in many ways by many organizations including appreciation gifts for "Legacy" donors to an organization, staff appreciation gifts, thank you gifts for key clients or potential clients, take-home gifts for conference / event attendees, graduation gifts, as part of an award package given to someone being recognized for their efforts &/or who is retiring, companies / nonprofits ordering them for local kids &/or local senior citizens. In some cases, groups have gotten them for their own internal use -- as art for their walls. Poster is 18x24, full color. Cost: $8 (US) plus S&H (& Sales tax where applicable).

"....I have always loved volunteering and positively impacting others' lives, and this poster and poem in particular will definitely inspire me to keep doing so...Just as the poem says, I want to leave the legacy of someone who...[made] the world a better place....Every time I look at this poster I will be reminded that only a small action is needed to make a difference, and hopefully I will be able to make a positive impact in my city and beyond."
