school supplies!
"Ericka Kammerer" wrote in message news toypup wrote: If a business gives a needed supply, I think it should be appreciated. Sure, it's good publicity for them, but it is a generous offer. We shouldn't be grubbing for "what about this? what about that?" That's a good way to discourage donations altogether. We use the money we save from the donation for this and that. If the donation isn't needed, turn it down and make suggestions for alternatives. It is true that gifts should be appreciated. It is also true that givers should be thoughtful. Yes, but they are thoughtful when they give something that is useful for the school and the school needs. Just because they also need books and pencils and paper doesn't mean it's the company's job to go out and get that, too, since they were kind enough to supply computers. Now, I'm plenty sure they think the school needs computers. I'd think so, as an outsider, and they are probably seeing it like I do. If the school doesn't need it, they can turn it down. It's not like the company came by and presented 30 live horses. |
