For better or worse, the last two weeks of December are the worst possible time for fundraising activities. The problem is that your donors – individual, corporate, or foundation – are too busy during the holidays to worry about the needs of your charity.

I love Costco. After all, what’s not to love? You’ve got the rotisserie chicken. Large and meaty. Seasoned to perfection and slow-cooked on rotating skewers. For my small family of two, Costco’s rotisserie chicken is a real value for the money. The birds are big and the meat is tender and moist.
