Hi Matt,

Thank you for your "contribution" (Pun intended). Actually, I posted his message.

Some retailers I know only see some people when they want donations, other times, those people don't come in the stores.

What goes around comes around, in more ways than one. Business's donations are possible only after there are enough sales revenue (after expenses). Why would anybody think otherwise?

Giving back to the community is vital, but it's not the first step. The first step is bringing in enough money to support the owners & staff who can then supoort the community.

Well written, Matt. Please feel free to contribute again, by yourself. Yes this is some craziness. But if you know even a little about Matt, you'd understand the craziness -- or not.
