cheeky is a perfect word for it! Probably I am the worst fund-raiser in the world but I hate pressuring people and I get cranky if people pressure me. The way I see it is there are times when I do several fund-raising type things within a year. Periodically I'll mention that I am doing something, especially if it is pertinent to someone in particular, and I get donations that way.

Of course, I'm the person who has been known to provide all her own donations

Except for the AIDS ride, that was something like $3,500.

I am bad. And Mimitabby? You are very nice and patient for not getting cranky with her.
