rbc, we just had a daffodil sale here, i believe the money goes for the march of dimes. we also have a small man made lake here that is quite nice. some guy every year sets up a bike run around it. for every lap around it people donate so much. it will be later this year because we're still into winter. and you're right, every little bit adds up. i work at a gas station, don used to come in and sit with the coffee drinkers. he asked me to save the tabs off of pop products and give to him. so many throw away their cans here. i save quite a few. he would take them right up to mcdonalds in rochester where he went for his chemo and they have a drop box. for every tab turned in the pop companies donate a nickel and mcdonalds match them. don passed away, but i kept saving, i found a guy whose church takes them up there. you don't know how many people who come through the gas station and say mcdonalds was good to them at this time.
