Donated by the Lake Erie LMSC, this is a collage of photos taken by USMS All American swimmer Chuck Beatty. Called "Reflections in Nature", these photos were taken by Chuck just prior to entering Lake Erie for an early morning open water swim. Thanks Chuck and thanks Lake Erie LMSC.

Additional Information

Donors who purchase items at a charity auction may claim a charitable contribution deduction for the excess of the purchase price paid for an item over its fair market value. The donor must be able to show, however, that he or she knew that the value of the item was less than the amount paid. For example, a charity may publish a catalog, given to each person who attends an auction, providing a good faith estimate of items that will be available for bidding. Assuming the donor has no reason to doubt the accuracy of the published estimate, if he or she pays more than the published value, the difference between the amount paid and the published value may constitute a charitable contribution deduction.
