BAF Gets To All Gifts & Donations -- Eventually

The CB's ncsupack88 posted this story about a cheque she gave to the BAF in Dec. 2003. It looks like the BAF had a such a huge amount of cheques to process that this one got left behind and was no longer depositable and therefore had to be mailed back to her, accompanied with this letter.

From ncsupack88:

They returned a check I wrote 12-22-03 and dropped off at the "An Evening with Clay" event with the Carolina Hurricanes. For those that don't know, I was fortunate to attend this event and be in one of the suites that Clay was to visit. I decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the tickets that were sold straight up for $375 on Ebay. This was like the first major fundraiser for TBAF. I also participated in the "Look What Love Has Done" trivia contest that was to award 10 tickets to the top 10. I've never really won anything so this was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately I was in the suite that had all the hoopla and that's beside the point but I had written Clay a letter and wrote a check to BAF with the hopes that he or somebody pertinent would get it. When Clay was taken out of the suite, I had forgotten to get the letter to someone in charge. Fortunately, when he came back to the conference room across the hall, I had enough sense to get my letter and I dropped it in one of the gift bags that was placed on the conference table.


I guess the moral to this story is that YES, eventually TBAF does get to all the gifts, checks, etc. that are left at venues BUT it might be too late to cash the checks. I've never chosen this method again and I'm sure many of you haven't either. It still amazes me that over two years later, I'm hearing about this. I figured the check was gone and never to be seen again! :laugh

BTW, who is this Debbie Cain??? Good to know they have a treasurer. Hey Clay, I have bookkeeping and treasurer skills so if she falls through, LOOK ME UP!!! :laugh

Guess I need to send a replacement and thank them for sending the check back and to also let them know that although my evening that night didn't turn out the way I thought it would, my patience was eventually rewarded with a M&G in Cary! :7up Life is GOOD!
