Donation Tins

Dear Friends,

Would any of you be willing to stick an official Québec Breast Cancer Foundation donation tin on your desk or the reception desk at your workplace?

No pressure, just asking. They're free, and I'm willing to hand them out. Please let me know in this post so I can go pick up an appropriate amount. I can also get pink ribbons with pins for you. :)


So far we've reached 10% of our donation total. Four people at work have donated, and six friends. I'm sure we can do better! Keep on spreading the good word!

I'm not ignoring you, I promise - waiting on the next paycheque, since everything's already allocated off the last one.

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
No worries. I totally understand about people who are strapped for cash and/or are awaiting paycheques and the like. :)

I am just going to be poking people relentlessly every day until October 31st.

I appreciate your persistence. :) Our household shall be sending a donation, soonish.

We'd be happy to have a tin for you over at Mélange :D Should have thought to ask you about that when you dropped by yesterday! (Just means I get to see you again. Mwaha!)

We'll pass some cash to ...well, not you, since I guess we won't see you during our visit, but to someone who local who can deliver it safely to you :)

I will take a tin. It will sit on my desk and I will pester people at work.

Actually, do you have a recent picture showcasing your silken locks? That might help. (They did a shave-your-head drive at work for something else and I think it was less successful than planned because everyone involved was already balding.)

I plan on donating... I think next week will work for me. I'll let you know when I know :)

And, if I had a workplace other than my home I'd take a tin.

Ditto.

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Cool!

I will stop by with one tomorrow, most likely. :)

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
A picture can be provided, yes. I have none, but I do possess a camera. :)

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Your donation is very much appreciated!

Also, people who work from home are exempted from the whole tin business. ;)

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That's very kind. As I said to [livejournal.com profile] pdaughter, people who work from home are exempt from my workplace harassment policies. ;)

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
HUZZAH!

I am still sad that I'm going to miss you entirely. :(

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
w00t!

I am nothing if not persistent. "Persistence" could be my middle name, and in fact strikes me as a really cool name for a Puritan heroine.

[identity profile] owldaughter.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, yes! Good one!

[identity profile] owldaughter.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I have been beaten to the 'I'd do it if I didn't work from home' thing. You could collect a lot of dust bunnies from me if I took one, though...

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Too bad dust bunnies cannot be cashed. I'd make a killing just in my own home. :P

I am going to have to figure out a story for her now...

I will take a tin.....

[identity profile] tcaptain.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
A tin has been PLACED!

I put the tin you gave me in the central lunch/congregation area of my office. It has been there since this morning and been seen (and moved slightly) by quite a few people.

Sadly, my co-workers seem to be teh suck. It is still empty. I have popped in some coins to perhaps encourage like-to-like and get the thing filled!

[identity profile] karine.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll take one on Saturday if you still have some to hand out.

[identity profile] moonandtree.livejournal.com 2008-09-26 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
YES.
