Thursday 13: Why Hubby and I will never have to buy labels

I know it’s a long title.  Hubby and I have lived in our house for 4 years and we’ve only bought one roll of labels.  It’s maybe not even half gone.  We won’t have to buy labels for ourselves for a very long time.  Here’s why, with links:

1. National Children’s Cancer Society (me)
2. Easter Seals (me)
3. Arthritis Foundation (me)
4. American Heart Association (me)
5. March of Dimes (me & hubby separately)
6. Muscular Dystrophy Association (me & hubby separately)
7. Disabled American Veterans (me & hubby separately)
8. US Olympic Committee (me & hubby separately)
9. US Golf Association (hubby)
10. Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (hubby)
