[QUOTE="AvgJoe, post: 558319, member: 22922"] Don't get me started....take the recent "Jersey day". Pay $5 to wear your favorite sports jersey. So, once again, someone coordinates the sign up (on company time), gives you a sticker that proves you paid the $5 and you can wear the jersey. So, how many folks in Ramsey took part in this United Way fundraiser? I counted 2 Mets fans. Another banner United Way event. Jeans Day? You can pay $5 to wear jeans but maintain business casual guidelines. That will look so cool...jeans with shineable dress shoes. They should raise a ton of money on July 3rd when many are taking the day off. Dunk Tank...OK. We raised $959 plus sold $488 in merchandise for a total of $1447. Great results, right? Let's post the NET proceeds folks, after dunk tank costs, purchasing the UPS merchandise to sell, huh? Not to mention the folks that were sitting out there (many not on break or lunch) watching people getting dunked. I'm sure some will accuse me of being a crumudgeon. I really do support the United Way and think it they do outstanding work. However, I fear that all of these United Way events will turn people away from the actual campaign because quite frankly, it is non-stop solicitation. Enough already! [/QUOTE]
