Winn-Dixie Foundations
donate over $95,000 to
education and charity
At its Good Citizenship Lun
cheon held December 6 at Holi
day Inn Woodlawn, the Davis
Family Foundation and Winn
Dixie Stores Foundation doriffiigd
$95,000 to 34 local charitable and
educational organizations within
the grocery chain's Charlotte divi
sion operating boundaries of
North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Tennessee.
Each year a variety of worthy
organizations benefit from the
monies pooled by the various
Winn-Dixie and Davis Founda
tions for disbursement to as many
different charities as possible. It is -
the intent of the foundations to
distribute the funds as evenly as
possible and not always to the
same agencies every year.
In addition, Winn-Dixie
encourages its employees to give
generously to charitable organiza
tions and educational institutions
by matching their eligible gifts
dollar for dollar under a Matching
Grants Program administered by
the Winn-Dixie Stores Founda
tion. In 1990, employee and foun
dation gifts under the program
totaled almost $80,000.
"Being a good corporate citi
zen is just as much a part of our
program as is being a leader in our
industry," said Bob Tripp, Winn
Dixie Division Manager.
"The purpose of today's lun
cheon was to honor the 1991
recipients and to present each of
them with a check. Th4s is our
way of showing our appreciation
and thanking these organizations
for all they've done for our com
munity."
Winn-Dixie Stores Inc.,
America's Supermarket, home
based in Jacksonville, Florida, is
over 60 years old and operates
more than 1,200 stores in 13 states
throughout the south and south
west. '
Recipient from the Winston
Salem area was the Old Hickory
Council. This organization
received a $3,000 contribution.

However, Robinson's job
entails more than just recommend
ing to his clients where and how to
invest their money. It also involves
educating his clients. ^
"I see my job as being not only
a counselor and a consultant," he
said, "but also an educator. Because
I think once people are informed,
they understand, and they begin to
build long term portfolios."
Robinson also helps to inform
the public by talking.to local
church and civic groups, schools
and clubs, about financial and
retirement planning, tax strategies
and investments.
However, he said that the
African-American community is
still somewhat conservative when it
comes to making the long-term
investment commitments.
"In Winston-Salem, I'm seeing
a lot more interest from some black
leaders learning about the markets,
forming investment clubs, just to
learn and also to participate in mar
kets. Still though, 1 think a vast
majority of blacks in the area don't
know a lot about investments," he
said.
Robinson, himself, has already
begun his financial planning for he
and his wife Paula. And he says
one day, possibly 10 to 15 years
from now, he may invest in himself
and start his own business. But for
now, he is very happy with Dean
Witter.
"I'm very young. As I continue
to see growth among minority,
investments, and as 1 continue to
build stronger client relationships,
it would be interesting to have an
organization that I maybe could
develop and network with other,.,
companies and professionals. That
possibly could be a long-term
thought. It's always up there as a
possibility," said Robinson.
For more information about
financial planning or investments,

Witter Reynolds Inc. at 727-8933.

PROFILES IN CRISIS
Mrs. Watson came in to request help with the
liquid diet her father is on. He has Alzheimers, and
she stays with him .. . leaving her own home so
that he can spend his last days in his. She has very
little relief time or help from other relatives. The
Alzheimers program has arranged a sitter for her
two hours a week so she can check on her own
home and do some personal things.
His care costs more than the small Social
Security check he receives. Mrs. Watson's father
does not recognize her and at times even forgets
to swallow while eating. I asked her if she had
considered a nursing home, since she is having
back problems from lifting him, aiid she said,
"No! Never1. He was such a wonderful and gentle
father. My husband passed away when my two
children were small, and he helped me raise them.
Til not let him down now."
We also decided not to let him down and
agreed to fill his prescriptions here to free
some of his money so they could afford
to buy the liquid diet.
