Last week I was on vacation in Michigan, and I decided to test a theory that I’ve had for a long time. I believe that philanthropy is something that occurs all around us every day, and we’re usually way too busy to notice it. Sometimes, it is hard to put it in words, which makes it difficult to blog about. So, I decide that I would try to take pictures of “every day” philanthropy while I was on vacation and share it with you this week.
Today’s picture is obviously of a blood drive poster. While bumming around the downtown square, we stepped into a coffee shop for a quick pick-me-up beverage. How many times have you busily zipped into such an establishment and didn’t take the time to read the event posters? So, many of those events are sponsored by non-profit organization.
As you have probably guessed, this week’s series of philanthropy pictures will lead up to an announcement tomorrow. Yes, it probably has something to do with something called a “phlog”. Stay tuned and please take a brief moment to enjoy what I consider the “every day pictures of philanthropy” this week.
Here’s to your health!
