Interestingly, I received an e-mail contribution plea on FRI from our local council (just quit as a volunteer after 18 years).
I replied, suggesting they “hit-up” their Sodomite pals and not bother those of who consider homosexuality to be a sin.
Their response was rather rude.
Oh, come on, tell us....
Ha! I rec’d a nice, typed “note” from some guy who claimed to be an Eagle, Class of ‘55 “thanking” me for all of my $$$ contributions to Scouting.
That because of people “like me”, kids like him got to go to summer camp, etc., blah, blah.
IOW, it was an attempt to play on my emotions (failed) to convince me to continue my donations to Scouting.
This after I explicitly told National and Council to remove me from ALL correspondence lists immediately after the decision was made, even though I’m remaining until next summer, only to see a couple of our boys through.
Obtuse...I do believe I’m going to write them a “nice” note back, maybe following your template to some degree.
I’m thinking they’re starting some kind of emotional plea campaign to keep the donations flowing.
