I received the most amazing "Gift Package" from..."Boys Town" [View all]

...I have ..never.. given to Boys Town, and never will. I do give to some other charities, but someone sold my name and address to "Boys Town"...A calander, pictures, crossword puzzles, diary, and more. Mail stickers on and on. All in an attempt to get me to give a donation.
... So much so that I would feel guilty if I didn't give to this charity. I will throw all of this stuff out. But I suspect one of those I did give to, sold my name, or traded it to "Boys Town." This package was a "trick" & it won't work for me. The most stuff I have ever gotten from a charity in order to get me to give, and give a lot. OH, and I will be receiving a call to follow up. After all .....It is Christmas Time...!!!
