[Vision2020] Joy Sun: Should you donate differently?

[Moscow Cares]

If you are truly interested in what is meant by "local" entities, Mr. Marcy, you may join us on our rounds on December 12th or 19th and we will introduce them to you.  As there are several, be prepared to give up most of your day. 

Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."
