I don't know about you, but my days are running together. I'm helping with our United Way campaign and it's a busy time. It's amazing the number of caring people I work with. Each year our little organization raises a lot of money to help United Way. It's impressive to watch the lengths people will go to help raise money. Some will ask you nicely, some will beg, some will get in your face, and some will just quietly do their own thing but they all do it with an air of fun around them. What we have found is that if you make if fun, people don't mind giving to something they know is worthwhile. For me, giving to United Way is something I want to do because I know that my money is going to help those who really need it the most and it doesn't even cost me all that much. I hope during this time of year when you see the United Way signs up (you know the ones with the red and white thermometer-looking graphic with the red that just keeps going up), you'll stop a moment and remember to dig deep into your pocket and pull out what you can and give it to an organization that is helping a lot of people. Give a little, give a lot, just give!
