I received a letter in the mail the other day from the alumni association of my college asking for donations to the endowment scholarship fund of my graduating class.

The gift/pledge form that came with the letter offered several options to contribute to the fund...  "Check Enclosed", "Give Using My Credit Card", and "Pledge".

Under the pledge section there were options for spreading out your pledge over One Year, Three Years, Five Years, or Other (please specify terms).

I wonder...

Do you think they'd appreciate my contribution of $1.00?  And what if I spread it out over 5 years, making it a whopping 20 cents/year?  Better yet, I could specify my own terms... 10 years at 10 cents/year.  Yeah, that sounds like a plan!
