I am getting prepped to ask all my friends and family (and even a few local shops) to donate to the JDRF Ride (Junior Diabetes)...my first thought in going into this is that everyone has "their" charities. I do not expect anyone to donate! If they do that is great! But how am I supposed to get the donations in the first place if I do not ask?

Don't read into it too much...just politely decline and move on.

***hey...if she gets upset then she won't be bothering you in the future
