Just a drop in the bucket

I recently spent some time with Tim Renzelmann, the VP of the SCCCF. You may remember this organization as being the one that Carol asked us to donate to at the time of her passing. They help out local cancer patients in time of need and have been able to really change some people's lives.

I did some database work for Tim last year, helping him track the donations and gestures that they receive. Every once in a while he calls for additional help and I'm happy to jump in where I can. I'm also making regular donations in Carol's memory. It seems like the very least I can do.

With tax season upon us I wanted to leave a gentle reminder to all that any donations made to the SCCCF are tax deductible. If you've made one in the past, or would like to make some in the future, please keep this in mind. It was important to Carol that other people in her shoes, but without the financial means, were able to find solace in the support coming from this fund.

If you'd like to remember Carol through ways of a donation, I know that Tim and the organization would greatly appreciate it. For me, I've decided to choose special days to make my donations, like her birthday, Cinco de Mayo and July 15th.
