Day 239: $1 for recordable storybooks for soldiers

I was at a local Hallmark store today (Kirlin's Hallmark) purchasing a gift for a friend's birthday when I saw a chance to donate money to a very local program. Employees at just this Hallmark collect money to send recordable storybooks to military personnel overseas with enough time for them to record the stories and send them back home for Christmas. I thought it was a neat idea, and the sign indicated that last year the store raised $5,000 for this endeavor. This is the type of charity where certainly every dollar counts.
