hey, Jay. I follow you around on your threads....
I have been involved with MANY volunteer/fundraising events. What is near and dear to my heart is not what is always near and dear to someone else's. I will shake my head in disbelief at my FRIENDS (and yes, i mean friends) when they don't contribute to MY cause. I have FINALLY learned to accept it- and they are STILL my friends.
I donate to many many very worthy causes- but then again i do skip a few.
I guess what I'm saying here, is keep your cool. You won't change anybody's mind, or 'make somebody' donate because you're bummed.
It's just the way folks are.
Focus on being POSITIVE and appreciative for those that HAVE donated, and just let go of your disappointment of those that don't. They can all still be your friends.
Regarding your contri. to LCS, etc., you are donating to the London police, and to CF. Not to the local Cobra group. I'm sure there are countless members of those groups who donated huge amounts of time and $$ as well.
Remember, dear friend, we all have our causes.
most affectionately,
kb
