With help from Chuck, the extended Providence clan, and former coworker Michelle, we hosted a fundraiser tag sale in the parking lot last Sunday. 

It’s a lot easier to argue with people over a couple dollars when the proceeds are going to a local non-profit. To keep it apolitical, we even let people choose: Meals on Wheels, the Humane Society, or a Rotary-sponsored medical mission to Cambodia. And the stuff that didn’t sell went to the thrift shop run by the local Hospice, which might have doubled the $500 or so that we collected at the sale.
