This way the post can stay current so the need can be met.
Also those receiving items for a charitable cause, please accept only as much as you need. This way, there will be enough to go around for others in need. Also please keep us posted with pictures etc so we can see that what we donated is actually being put to good use!!! I for one enjoy being a part of this process and have donated regularly but I do like to see end results.
Don't get me wrong ~ I am a very trusting soul and I will continue to donate. I trust all that I do donate is going to that cause. As a side note ~ I dont mean this to be seen as an accusation that members are using this board for their own gains. I DO NOT believe this. I think all posts are legitimate and will continue to feel this way unless I am proven wrong.
Thanks for hearing me out ~ Please no negative comments. This is not a slam - just some helpful suggestions. Cheryl :thumbup:

I do have a question re: pictures. A couple have donated for my Heart Foundation (CHD) request... We placed the pictures under "pictures" on the board.. Should they have been placed under our "asking for Donations" ??? I understand what you do mean tho, I have in past donated things and didn't even get a thank you or know if items arried till I wrote them... That made me :( BUT the bright side it only happened once. I so enjoyed helping cjomoma, as she posted when I wouldn't have (all I made were the quit tops) lol.... Thanks and many (((hugs)))

I have seen your work for cjomomma-you have made a great team!!! She is working tirelessly to get things done and I hope her charity appreciates the time and money she has spent on this worthwhile project!!! Cheryl :thumbup: :D

when we force our topics to the front of the line, we are pushing others to the back. we should not cave in to the temptation to bump our topics in order to serve our own purposes. [we should also not ask our friends to do it for us. ;-) ]
each topic should either stay in the spotlight or fade based on genuine interest among the general membership.
photos of things made from donated items should go into the Pictures section.
