I agree, Hancle. I hate it when someone calls and asks me to solicit my neighbors. I tell them, no way. I don't like it when I get solicited from the neighbors, either. Also, Joanne, I agree with you about United Way. As a former teacher the reprepresentative from UW was at school the first week. Pressure was put on us because the principal wanted a 100% contribution, from his school. I guess it made him look good to the administration. I always gave, but resented it. I have my own charities that I want to give to. United Way had a large percentage of money that went to administrative cost and salaries. I prefer charities that have the vast amount of money actually go for the cause.
