Thumbs down This kind of offended me

Did anyone else get one of these, too?

I got a letter in the mail from the Foundation asking for donations. On the front of the envelope were the following words:

"Harry Potter", Elton John, Timothy McVeigh, and [my name]!

On the inside, it talked about the important events of the year in which I pledged, 1997. But... Timothy McVeigh? They're telling me there were no other important events which happened that year that they could have included other than that guy? Why in the world did they think it was appropriate to include him in that list? What about those who pledged at Central Oklahoma in 1997? They surely don't want to be reminded of that. If I do decide to donate, I'm considering slipping a note in the envelope about it because I feel it was totally insensitive.

That is all.

No I did not, but wow, just wow. I hope, later on, that I get a letter saying 'awesome things happened, also, the London Underground Bombings!' because that's what I want to remember about 2005. The day I thought half my family was dead.

Yeah, I agree that that wasn't the best idea. I'm not sure I'd be offended, but geez.. make it happy things. Things that make you want to give money...

I think I would be offended too. Especially with your name immediately following it.

I'll be on the look out now for one in my mail box soon.

There are only dues to your alumna group if you belong to one. Mine are $30 a year.
