Pass the Boot

September 4th, 2007 at 04:22 pm

I forgot to mention on Saturday or Friday, I don't remember which, the fire department was doing its Pass the Boot fund raising effort. Pass the Boot is when they come to one of the busiest intersections in town and while the light is red they walk around with a fireman's boot. If you want to donate you just put your window down and call them over. Then whatever money you want to donate you put in the boot.

They also have a firetruck and a "triage" set up in the Walgreen's parking lot off the intersection and you can talk to them and ask them questions about firefighting and basic first aid.

Anyway, so I donated $5 to that and forgot to list it in my spending journal.

    I despise when they do this. It always creates major traffic jams. I refuse to donate when they do this as I find it really annoying.

    Yeah, if you don't donate, it makes you feel like a heel.

    This sounds a bit more voluntary (you call them over to your window) than the coin drops in my area where each and every car passes the volunteers with the bucket. I rarely have cash on me so I've gotten used to having to decline. I give in other ways, though, because I like having a fire department/rescue squad!
