Following last night's Scroogish blog it seems only fair to present another scenario. I received another plea for a charitable donation in the mail today. Not too surprising, I seem to get at least one a day, especially this time of year. This one was a very straight forward, relatively brief letter asking for a donation which would be matched though a matching grant pledge they had received. No gimmicks, no gifts or promises of free goodies, just a simple request for help for a good cause. This is an organization I have supported before and I will be sending them a check.
But before I write that check tomorrow I need to make sweet potatoes and bake 2 pumpkin pies for our family gathering, also real whipped cream since I promised my granddaughter. That's the kind of donation i really like to make. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
