I'm afraid so. It's a double edged sword. A year or so after we launched
the LRF in Jersey, we held a drinks party and invited as many of the
island's great and good (i.e. rich!) as we could think of so as to swell
our
ranks of supporters. I had an understandably irate phone call from
someone
who accused us of using donations to give a party and I was relieved to be
able to tell her that the whole thing, down to the last peanut, had been
paid for by a couple of generous people and had cost the charity nothing
but
had considerably raised its profile and its mailing list.

Dreadful isn't it?

I know exactly how you feel. Do you know, someone got a posting of mine all
wrong and accused me of being the President of RAFA How stupid can you get?
I am not even ex RAF!!

Others have accused me of pocketing the subscription fees for
Associations!!! Shout their mouths off on these newsgroups but it wouldn't
occur to them to ask for a set of accounts!!

Some people just don't think!!!

Mike
Not the President of RAFA
