Well I gave our Fire Charity over a week... (more)

by Bob

Hi MWRines,

Last week I told you how I tried to donate our MWR Charity Money to the Firemen's Relief Fund. The number I called led only to a recording asking me to "Push one if I wanted to Donate by Visa...."

So I sent off a kind e-mail asking for someone I could contact by voice to make the donation. Well, it's been over a week and no reply.

What should I do at this point? Am I being overly sensitive and send the money to them anyways, despite their ungrateful ways? Should we start searching for a better charity? Should I blow the wad on an expensive milwatch and give it away on MWR (charity begins at home).

I think it would be really cool if we could find a real fire-family to present a check to and then task one of our New York MWRines to physically deliver the check. That's just my thought, but I am open to suggestions.

Best Regards,

Bob
