Tat would be vastly entertaining if it weren't for the fact that people actually take it seriously. Can we start an 'Eat Jack Chick' movement, please? I reckon he'd have a flavr...

tastes like dragons!

Seriously, I went to a school with a girl that really truly believed it.

She believed that god had deliberately made the bones seem older to test people's faith.

Yes I've encountered that particular loonacy before as well, it's depressing.

Hey, can I ask you a favr? (see what I did there?) I need to find out as much as possible about professional charity fundraising (not chugging, more like fundraising officer level) and I wondered if you knew anything, or had anyone at work who you could easily ask about which books/online resources/whatever would be a good place to start?

I've no idea, sorry! We don't do direct fund-raising ourselves, as we're funded mainly buy the government/LSC/ESF etc, or by events in the pre-schools themselves. Every now and then they'll hire a fundraiser, and they never last long!

I see. I just thought "Emmy works for a charidee, she'll know" but never mind! Hopefully all will become clear but I don't want to say too much at this point...
