2] Strange and/or Relevant Questions I have Received!
* why don't people check the pockets of coats they donate to charity? if they did, they'd find the $25.12 they left in it.
A: I DON'T KNOW! but off it goes, from one charity to another!
3] General News!
* Mom and Karen found $25.12 in a donated coat at a thrift store. we've decided that since the money was found in a charity place, that it should go directly into the Charity Fund, even though this is an Xmas Dinner month. you'll see the totals reflected at the bottom of this newsletter. all monies collected in March with the exception of the $25.12 will continue to go into the Xmas Dinner fund. i wish i could have seen your faces when you found that...
* i was cleaning out some emails and came across this to mom in November of last year: "and it's $17.07 with your [2 cent] find! right, we certainly could squirrel the excess away for next Xmas. you know what might be fun? see who else wants in next year, divvy it up in November, and everyone goes shopping. pool our resources. i bet we'd have $100 in a year with all of us in on it." ... BAAA HA HAHA HA HAHA HA HA!! small potatoes!!
