I wasn't sure if the fund raising idea to put up a Christmas Tree with ornaments from the agency we support would get pass the non approved fundraiser but you can do it anyway litmus test. It didn't. So I was faced with having to actually put forth some personal involvement to get people to take home an ornament and hopefully remit a donation to the agency.
It is alot easier to put the thing up and wait for people to come to it. I found myself lugging the tree all over the place to actually put it into the presence of people who might take an ornament home. Not because it's a good cause or the right thing to do, or a way to give back, or a clever way to sucker people into taking an action. I found myself asking people to take an ornament home because they cared about me. And to make sure that I care about them. White Christmas Tree with Blue Ornaments as a way to connect.
I guess so.
