Fellow OCFers:

As the end of the tax year approaches, it's time to begin thinking of the causes and the non-profit institutions we believe in and wish to support.

I've found the OCF website to be an invaluable source of information and support this year as my mother and I lived through the diagnosis and treatment of her oral cancer. I plan to make a gift and I hope others of you who are able will do so too.

As a professional fundraiser (not for OCF), I can tell you that the small gifts of many people really do make a difference. (That's not to say that big gifts aren't awfully helpful too!)

I just want to go on record urging all of us to consider doing what we can to help support this wonderful site.

P.S. to Brian. I tried to make a gift on-line just now but the on-line form added $6.00 UPS charge to my gift, so I did not complete the transaction. I will send by snail mail. However, this may be something you need to look at. Also, I wasn't sure what the difference is between a membership and a donation.
