I have to concur with one of the posters about groups coming into my town and asking for donations. I'm not going to donate to some out-of-town groups that I have no clue about, when I know the little leaguers, girl scouts, boy scouts, whatever, are going to be around asking for a donation. That's when I'll chip in, because it improves the quality of life in town for those boys and girls. And to me, boys and girls are the future of my town, and it pays to keep them happy so they keep coming back as doctors and lawyers(sic!!!) in this town.
