Oh, the Guilt
I’m feeling slightly guilty because I just entered one of those New York Public Library raffles without actually making a donation. But you know, I broke up with the New York Public Library after I donated money to them and they sent me a letter saying (here I paraphrase), “Thanks for the donation! Now cough up some more,” and they actually enclosed a handy form with those little check boxes going up to $500. I think that will become Exhibit A in How Not to Send a Thank You Note.
I also have the uncomfortable feeling that without a donation, they just happen to misplace your tickets, even though it’s against the law. Either that, or instead of winning the fabulous Dream Cruise to Europe or the flat screen TV, I’ll win the autographed hockey puck.
