[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 4479750, member: 12570"] I was simply having a little but of fun at MWG's expense as I don't have any (homeless) friends. United Way is a pet peeve of mine. I was always very generous during our annual campaign, generally donating anywhere between $15-30/week. There was one year that I had bumped it up to $50/week but that proved to be a bit too generous. UPS added 15% to whatever we donated to basically cover the administrative fees. 100% of my donation went to our local Hospice as I appreciated what they did for those nearing the ends of their lives. It used to piss me off that guys making upwards of $100K couldn't be bothered to help out those less fortunate. They would begrudgingly donate $1 just to get mgt off of their backs. When I was on active duty participation in the military's version of a UW drive was mandatory. Each unit was "required" to have 100% participation and senior enlisted members were expected to cover any shortfalls among the junior members to ensure that the goal was met. [/QUOTE]
