Donation Good News

December 7, 2021 by MsWas 4 Comments

We heard from Bothari43 this week that her employer was offering giving dollars based on her volunteer hours with us. Because we’re a pending 501(c)(3), her volunteer work did qualify for an internal giving reward. But because we’re only pending, her donation had to go directly to the American Cancer Society. Thanks to our incredibly successful #GivingTuesday, we were able to match Bothari43’s donation with another $300 donation to the American Cancer Society this morning. With this donation, we remember AlabamaPink, and we also remember […]

A Holiday Gift With PERFECT Timing!

December 7, 2021 by MsWas 3 Comments

Here’s a HUGE thank you to LurkeyTurkey whose Holiday Gift Exchange package was sitting on my porch when I got home yesterday morning. After getting sick with what turned out to be my SECOND bad cold since the beginning of November, I’d had to drive over to my doctor’s office to make an appointment for later in the morning because their phone lines were so tied up that no calls would ring through.  And sitting on my porch was a package addressed to “The Incredible […]

Happy Holidays from…the IRS?

November 29, 2021 by MsWas 2 Comments

It’s been a hell of a year that seems to stretch on for an eternity, but how can it be that it’s suddenly almost December?? We made it past Thanksgiving, and it’s going to be time for Whamageddon and for more of those inflatable holiday decorations to start popping up on everyone’s lawns. (After seeing so many at Halloween, I’ll wager that we see dragons or dinosaurs taking over displays this year. You heard it here first.) A Big Thank You! I’ve said many times since […]
