I have come up with a great idea, at least for Jim and I. We have decided to now give at the Red Cross ringing bell person, those standing in the streets (Kiwanas, VFW, etc), to the firemen who collect at xmas, any organization with a box in the stores, etc. This way no one can get my name, addy or phone number.

I will continue to give to St Jude, PVA, VFW Women's organization, and the NMSS. But if they call me again I am going to politely ask them to not call anymore and to simply accept the donation I give as my contribution or I will stop. Period.
