I’m making a list of ❤️❤️❤️ right now, but between Christmas and New Year I piled up all the pleading letters and started writing checks. Most were the standard $35 memberships, but the largest amount went to Direct Relief (disasters) and the local Food Bank and Planned Parenthood. The acknowledgements are trickling in slooooowly, but that may be DeJoy’s fault. (Hey! I really wanted that plush puppy from Habitat, and I think he got lost, strayed, or stolen!) I finally heard from the Food Bank thanking me for the $500, and spelling my name wrong. They did say they’d be phoning later to invite me to tour the facility, which I look forward to. I’ve been living here 3+ years and hardly know the workings of the town at all, what with a bum knee, knee replacement surgery, and the pandemic one after the other. It is past time I stepped out to someplace more meaningful than Costco. I think I remembered to send a smaller amount to the Food Bank of the town I used to live in — several of my close friends are actually clients.
