Subject: [Fredslist] The Season of Giving...

Hi Gothamites,

Happy Holidays!

We have all received and many of us have participated in the Gotham Season of Giving...

I think that I've given every year, but didn't think too much about it, until this year!

I decided to go to the Holiday Party, sort of at the last minute, not sure why. Maybe because I wouldn't see all those famous portraits at the Friar's Club.

So, while at the Holiday Party, the drawing for the winning member's charities was being announced.  I paid little attention, being occupied by eating whatever was on my plate, until I heard my name called.

What? Me? I won something? Oh, the charity of my choice. Gee, nice!

Then I got the check for Planned Parenthood of NYC ($4,000) and I brought it to the development office. Well, they were so happy and I think a bit shocked. What's the Gotham Network and how did you select Planned Parenthood? I explained that Gotham is a networking group that donates to charities every year and that I was one of the lucky winners and I've always thought supporting Planned Parenthood to be a worthwhile endeavor.

A few things that I learned; YOUR contribution makes a difference; your favorite charity COULD benefit, and oh, pay attention at next years Holiday Party.

Again, thanks to all of Gotham and to those who gave to this year's Season of Giving.
Best regards,

Matt Plociak
