About


From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor
About a million years ago, my cousin Tom and I did one of those walk-a-thon dealies. I don't remember what the cause was for, but I do remember getting totally lost and realizing, as it got dark, that we needed to call someone to come get us. We were maybe 10 or 11? Boy, parenting was so much easier back then.

Walking Just Once a Year
Seriously, we were just sent off. We had canteens of water (or, more likely, some purple "juice") and a vague idea of where we were supposed to go. If this sounds like you, here's a better way to prepare.

Get Your Kids Involved
Not only is it more fun when your kids are involved, it's a heck a lot easier to raise money with those little darlings doing the asking. Everyone accuses me of using the charitable funds for my own snacks. It was only proven once. Children can raise money, too!

Is This Charity Stuff Good For You?
As I get older, I really do get more pleasure out of giving than receiving. Whether it's presents, a helping hand or just listening. In fact, it's almost selfish of me. Anyway, what I'm getting at is, if you're done with the plate of fried chicken, I'd be happy to help finish it off. For you. The power in giving.

The Old Reliable Bake Sale
Who says your movement has to involve walking or running? Some may prefer a different sort of marathon. Before you say being in the kitchen doesn't count, try feeding 50 people first! Preparing the bake sale.
