The True Spirit of X-Mas
At work we decided to havea holiday fundraiser for the
onsite senior programs.
It was a jewelry sale. People donated jewelry and we sold it for a very reasonable price. The fundraiser raked in $630.00 - not bad for an hour selling pretty nice jewelry at $5 and $10 bucks a pop. Toward the end, some of the staff came in to check out the goods. Most bought something, it's a fundraiser.
Shortly after the Jewels Event, I learned that one of the staff members has an 'eye' for authentic gems and had gone out on her lunch break to get her new ring appraised. She learned her ring was worth $700. She didn't donate it to the fundraiser. She came back to the office and made sure everyone in the building knew she just bought a $700 ring for $10 - within an hour. Now that's class.

That's how you buy yourself $700 worth of bad publicity for $10. gbyi
Oops. the "gbyi" in the previous was a word verification glitch.
Bad publicity big time.
