I just want to go over my 'loose change donation' thingy. (I wish I had a catchy phrase for it!)

I'm on the monthly and $/day list, but I also do weekly change. For example:

A little while ago,I emptied all the change from my little change purse. (If I were a guy, it would have been my pocket) I put back about $2 in quarters, nickles, etc. What was left totaled $1.45, and I put it in a little plastic bag and put it out of sight. It wasn't much, but if I put away $1.45 every week for 3 months, I'd have $17.40!

Of course, each week, the amount counted out is different, but it all adds up ------- and to those who can part with small amounts, and who want to help out FR.com, it is a painless way to do it.

I don't know how many Freepers are tuning in now that the end is in sight, but at the next Freepathon I'd like to figure out how to have a loose change contest.

It might be a nightmare for Badjoe, tho!!!! LOL!

This is a great idea! Either a contest or a "loose change" club. The example you posted shows how quickly a little change adds up to a nice contribution to Free Republic!

Well said! Thanks. I think I might start that with the money I find in my laundry.
