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

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)
