Ian, I was just sharing a story about the uphill battle of trying to teach our grandkids the concept of giving instead of always taking. That's because over half of the board here are grandparents and I thought perhaps they could relate. I wasn't trying to self-nominate myself for the 'Mother Theresa' award. Sorry if it offended you.

While I can see where some people might take someone's 'announcing' that they've made a charitable contribution as that person calling attention to themselves, I see it more as perhaps a way to inspire others to do the same ... many of us have good intentions, but sometimes they don't get put into action ...
I'm not "blowing my own horn" either (hmmm ... I don't even have a horn
)but I will say that this year our entire family has decided to cut way down on our own gift giving and provide more for local charities that help out those less fortunate ...
I'm not SAYING I might have been somewhat inspired by Russ, BUT
