::About Donations:: From time to time I do donate tube packs to try to help out with fundraisers etc. Recently, these events have gone from "lending a supportive hand for those that truely are facing unforeseen hardships"....to "other reasons" that I can no longer support. Like so many of you in the graphics community, I care and I want to help my neighbor when I can. I have donated many, many times over the years, and haven't ask for anything in return. It really is heartwarming being able to help, when it's for a worthy cause, but the requests for donations have increased to the point that every few days you hear of and/or are ask to donate [to yet another one...many being from people that I've never heard of before.] So, I have decided to scale back on these type donations. ::My policy on donating has changed. While I may contribute to fundraisers for a "good cause" I will no longer contribute to every "auction/raffle or just because" benefit being advertised. ::However...for "other type requests" I might consider - [1.] Offering a shoppe credit [at a nice discount], for your benefit. [Remember, I create and maintain my webite...to make a little $pending money too.] Or...[2.] I might consider trading with you. .:This way...all sides win, nobody feels as though they are constantly giving, while others are always on the receiving/asking end:.
Thanks for understanding.
