1. Quarterly fund drives--most of us can't afford to donate more than
once a year. Some can not at all. I think Skinner understands that. We'll get there, though. I'm sure.

3. when you average $500/mo income, $5 is a lot.
I can't afford to give every quarter and I doubt I'm the only one in that boat.

4. I don't have the money this time around
I'm in the process of moving and need every penny I get. Next time around will donate for two.

17. I know your pain...
I'm in my last year of grad school, and I just had to pony up a whole bunch of money to go to our annual conference so I can interview for jobs. Ugh.
Someone donated for me, so I'll be paying it forward in the 1st quarter.

9. This drive also started a day late.
Skinner mentioned it in a post before the drive was officially opened, that they had a lot going on, so the fund drive was being posted late.

16. "Thanks, all" kick
Edited on Tue Nov-23-10 02:10 PM by rocktivity
I'm very glad to learn that the drive didn't start when I thought it did, because that means we're not demoralized. And I must confess that while I was looking forward to a "knockout punch" of The Grim Weeper, his turning on the waterworks after a love tap really is more appropriate.
