[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1182049, member: 43436"] They do that here annually as well. We also have other regular fundraising activities such as food (pancake breakfasts, pizza, bake sales, etc.) and silent auctions (for items donated by consumers). I think these are wonderful ideas, but I oppose many other ideas they've attempted to impose that potentially impede on the contract: auctioning off preferred parking spaces, auctioning off the rights to an additional week (non-paid) vacation, etc. - - - I don't have a problem with the United Way, although I would encourage everybody to research administrative fees for the respective chapter serving their area. In mine, I consider them to be excessive. I prefer to donate my time, money & excess household items -- and quite honestly, I donate more than the average person, especially time -- to a pair of charities whose purpose is close to me (and also contradicts with the goals of the UW). I don't think UPS management should harass me for doing so either, since they really don't care about anything other than bragging rights to my donations. [/QUOTE]
