Thanks!
Tuesday, Dec 20, 2016 - Posted by Rich Miller * The most important part of my annual speech to the City Club of Chicago isn’t the speech, it’s the effort attendees make on behalf of Lutheran Social Services of Illinois’ vital early childhood programs. We ask that audience members bring toys to the event, and this year people brought 106 toys, along with $235 in gift cards and $601 in cash. That cash haul seems a bit lower than in the past, but the good folks at LSSI also told me today that online contributions are still coming in, so click here if you weren’t able to attend, or if you forgot to bring a toy with you yesterday. We need to drive those numbers up!

Should the designation be the Christmas Matching Challenge?

James, it really doesn’t matter. Pick whatever you prefer. Thanks!

Thank you, Rich, for promoting a very worthy NFP.
We may individually have our preferences, but often attempt to give a little when we can to other causes.
Thank you for your involvement and advocacy.

here’s hoping Santa remembers this very nice thing that Rich does. whichever charity one contributes to, it’s important to help others as Rich does.

Done

I thought your point about the “supposed well informed opinion makers in this state” was more fair and pointed than the supposed well informed opinion makers in this state can fathom.
