One day I decide to send a few dollars to the Disabled Vets. A few days later, I am gifted with an array of colorful address return labels. Adorned in the colors of Old Glory, I am happy with my gift. Is it really a gift? Didn’t I donate money to the organization? Well, I cannot complain. Until I receive a letter of despair from another organization. Ok, fine, a small donation wouldn’t hurt. Wow, I thought as I opened a larger packager I received. A nice notepad with not one but FOUR different lighthouse designs. Well, since I collect lighthouses, once again, I enjoy my gift.
This cycle is like a wheel that just won’t stop. Address labels, a letter of thanks, address labels, another thank you letter.
I am not cheap. I just do not care to donate every Monday and Tuesday (every week) to every organization that has my name from a list. I wrote a note begging – please save your funds – do not send any more labels. It did not work. They are aware that I enjoy sending letters, cards and notes. However, if I had to utilize all of my labels, (including holiday ones), I would have to send out about 2,000 pieces of mail!
