3 Ways to Help your Local Charity
April 9, 2008 · No Comments
** Talk to your local dance, singing group to donate their talents and hold a concert where all proceeds go to the charity of choice.
** If you have a talent for knitting or sewing - you can organize or get a group together to knit socks, sweaters, scarves, etc for the homeless. There is always a need for warm coats and clothing.
** I think bake sales are a great way to easily raise money in a short time. Everyone has a sweet tooth and love baked goods.
Do you have any creative and neat ideas for fundraisers? Share with me.

| 10 Husbands, Still a Virgin | |
| A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband, “Please be gentle, I’m still a virgin.” “What?” said the puzzled groom. “How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?” “Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be. Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he’d look into it and get back to me. Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn’t get the system up. Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn’t know when he would be able to deliver. Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method. Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn’t sure whether it was his job or not. Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it. Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it. Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it. Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was… God! I miss him! But now that I’ve married you, I’m really excited!” “Good,” said the new husband, “but, why?” “You’re a lawyer. This time I know I’m gonna get screwed!” |

| Spaghetti | |
| A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for a few years.
One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to have the child. If she stayed in Italy, She agreed, but wondered how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to mail him a post card, and write “Spaghetti” on the back. He would then arrange for child support. One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife. “Honey,” she said, “you received a very strange post card today.” “Oh, just give it to me and I’ll explain it later,” he said. The wife obeyed, and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted. On the card was written “Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without.” |

| Need Samples | |

The old man, being hard of hearing, looks at his wife and yells: “WHAT?” “What did he say? What’s he want?” His wife yells back, “He needs your underwear.” Have fun! |

3 Ways to Help a Homeless person in your Community
April 2, 2008 · 2 Comments
** Bring Food - It’s as simple as taking a few extra sandwiches when you go out. When you pass someone who asks for change, offer him or her something to eat. If you take a lunch, pack a little extra. When you eat at a restaurant, order something to take with you when you leave.
** RESPECT - Give the homeless people the same courtesy and respect you would accord your friends, your family, your employer. Treat them as you would wish to be treated if you needed assistance.
** EDUCATE — both your children and your community. Be an enthusiast and get others interested in helping the homeless. Some ways to do this can be: writing a column for your local community paper, volunteering at a homeless shelter or a battered women’s shelter and bring your children, friends, family along, recruit local businesses to get involved in a food/toy/goods donation program, etc. There are lots and lots of ways one can be creative to help the homeless.
Can you come up with some creative initiatives? Share with me!
