Fundraiser litmus test... or free soup!
Dec. 6th, 2004 08:58 pmHere's something I'd have shared on Saturday if I wasn't going bonkers over eBay stuff.
Every once in a while, there's somebody walking up and down the grassy divider on Route 40 with a bucket proclaiming to be collecting for some charity. Now I personally hate this - strictly because you can NOT tell if the person is legit or if they're pulling a fast one. I've seen school fundraising drives at, say, the Wal-Mart, and I'll give a buck to those, because I know that they need permission to do that there or Wal-Mart will kick them off the premises. But Route 40 has no such restriction. Anybody can solicit and risk their lives out there.
( Putting Saturday's highway solicitors to the test )
Well, I guess it was legit... if not, I don't feel quite so bad about giving away free soup. :)
