Queen’s Luncheon

The Harriet Tubman Guild, Inc.’s annual luncheon is always an exciting afternoon. On Dec. 12, at the Omni William Penn Hotel, more than 300 gathered for the Queen’s Luncheon and the first Winona Idell Lincoln Service Award. Lincoln was the founder of The Harriet Tubman Guild.

In July of 1915, when a group of Christian women first met at the home of Lincoln, their purpose was to assist the Women’s Auxiliary of the Union Baptist Association in maintaining the Aged Ministers and Laymen’s Home. They chose the name Harriet Tubman because of Tubman’s love for her people and her exemplary activities as nurse and spy during the Civil War.

I am afraid to leave my wealth to my great-niece!

Dear Gwendolyn:

Two years ago I made out a new will leaving my possessions to my great-niece. I built an addition to my house so that she and her husband would be able to live with me. I charge no rent and provide their food and clothing. Besides all that, I bought a car for my great-niece and bought a car for her husband.
