A few different folks on my Facebook feed posted pictures of their kid standing in front of a store, with a collection can, raising money for their junior sports teams.
I flashed back to being 8 and 9, when they'd make us dress in our full Pioneer League baseball uniform, and plunk us in front of Shaws or Kmart, and have us panhandle for change.
I looked at those pictures on my Facebook feed and thought, "That's when I started my complete hatred/fear of asking for money."
Which made me laugh. Because I was looking at these pictures on Facebook as a way to procrastinate from preparing for the Fall Friends of mvyradio Drive.
So . . . Hey! Would you like to donate some money to support a very important local organization?
Can I look at you with my pleading, 8 year old eyes?
Well, at least for the Friends Drive, if you make a donation of $100, we'll give you the new Paul McCartney record.
For the Pioneer League, I think they only gave you a ticket that said you donated.
So . . . WooHoo! Paul McCartney CD! Donate!
Yeah, it hasn't gotten any easier for me.
Hear the song on Youtube.
