In comparison, I think Big-Brother-Brendon’s penis is way
more attractive than Brett Favre’s…
I had to think about when Wanda almost accidentally
poisoned Chauncey with chocolate back in the day, therefore I’m not
overly convinced she should adopt a dog…
Completely agree with Vera. If only one issue was going to
get action, it’s unfortunate it was DADT. Not sure why anyone is
celebrating that GLBT soldiers can now be out, loud and proud while
killing innocent people in Pakistan and Afghanistan. I also wish
all the effort and political capital had been focused on another
broader issue, such as civil rights for all.
I found Madge’s story of the Americans at the European AIDs
ride telling. Americans can be very generous, but they rarely give
quietly. My work in philanthropy and fundraising in the US makes me
want to share a couple of things we know. Most US donors want
recognition and that costs. The lower dollar donors cost the most
to an organization because they often want promotional…crap. . We
often try to educate donors to the fact that accepting the crap
reduces the power of their gift, but many want it…and it works.
Its a breath of fresh air when a donor lets us know that it just
seems wasteful and we can tailor requests to cut out the extra
expenses. Some demand it. I won’t let the well-heeled donors off
easily either. Its generally the new money folks that require a
gala at a posh hotel ballroom, to write the big check. Typically a
donor underwrites the cost of these events but it’s a shame they
are necessary when the money could be used better in the programs.
It looks like branded plastic iPhone chargers, t-shirts, tote bags
walk-a-thons, and pink jets are here for a while. Keep up the great
work guys!
