I mentioned it a few times to my waiting captive audience and I did get one donation. I haven't looked inside to see how much yet but I could have paid more attention to that aspect. Yeah I've already decided on more dentists and shifts and a longer time and advertising a stop time 1 hour less than what I tell the dentists. I also didn't need as many vols even as busy as we were. My dentist, Dr Thee has even offered his office next year but I still like the visability of Walgreens and there is no way we could handle the parking at his office. Walgreens entire lot was full all day and cars were parking along the side streets. Now if I can just get Walgreens to spring for a large air conditioned tent!! Never say never, lol.
