I've got a few ...thoughtful comments, Cynthia. I've got a few organizations that I donate to, but for the most part have stopped. I haven't seen any of my charity donations result in gallery sales. So, even though it is suppose to help with "marketing" - that has not been the case for me. But, I agree, if it's a good cause, I'll donate something instead of writing a check.debhttp://debsether.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948110852357451003.post-46404807069148123632012-01-15T17:35:18.038-08:002012-01-15T17:35:18.038-08:00So it goes...

I'm a bit of a softie and wish to give to everyone, but know it just isn't possible and isn't always prudent.Cynthia Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282849306482027445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948110852357451003.post-61670650929474067002012-01-15T15:56:42.791-08:002012-01-15T15:56:42.791-08:00Thanks, Cynthia.

I appreciate your semi-random thoughts :-)<br /><br />I particularly liked your comment about donating art to an organization when "writing a big check" is not within the budget.<br /><br />Recently I rec'd a donation request from an organization. Before deciding what to do I checked out their web site. Turns out they have opposing views on issues important to me. I just wrote them back with a "thanks for asking...but I will pass as this time" email and wished them well with their auction.<br /><br />joyfully, MaureenMaureenhttp://www.themandalalady.comnoreply@blogger.com
