My grandsons were both in Cadets, so know when they collect. But there are numerous others. It might be a good idea if they set up something for electronic donations.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-37916737934255408462008-05-13T12:55:00.000-04:002008-05-13T12:55:00.000-04:00We too have young people collecting money--only th...We too have young people collecting money--only they do this in the MIDDLE of a traffic intersection--at a traffic light. I guess they think--you're captive so you will give. It seems so dangerous to me that I never give thusly.<BR/>I prefer to write a check to the worthy cause and mail it.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-40166930200269313502008-05-12T22:30:00.000-04:002008-05-12T22:30:00.000-04:00Raising money for charities is never easy, and you...Raising money for charities is never easy, and you are so right about the lack of coinage to contribute!megz_mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458169960796868479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1669992466576754762008-05-12T16:25:00.000-04:002008-05-12T16:25:00.000-04:00It is getting increasingly difficult to contribute...It is getting increasingly difficult to contribute in this way.

Not a very nice rhyme but at least we would drop in a quarter or two. Even a dollar bill doesn't have as much buying power as the old nickle used to have...but I try to keep a few on hand just in case.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-88394808170340597032008-05-12T13:48:00.000-04:002008-05-12T13:48:00.000-04:00I never have cash either.

Granddaddy never had either (in 97+ years) and never had less than $200 on him at all times. We were always afraid he'd get conked on the head, but he was never mugged.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190489990653412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-62792689182219071382008-05-12T12:42:00.000-04:002008-05-12T12:42:00.000-04:00I don't often carry cash either, everything is pai...I don't often carry cash either, everything is paid by the good old plasic friend.

Next time, I'll approach the adult in charge and remind him not many of us carry cash anymore.

Thankfully I usually have my dad with me and he happily drops a coin a two into the charity pot. :o) <BR/>.<BR/>I dontate to three charities by direct debit, three charities that I support and I don't think you can ever feel as though you have done enough but I don't feel the need to reproach myself for not giving all of the time.<BR/>.<BR/>Having said that, I would if I could. :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
