For roughly the last two months, I've been getting deluged with solicitations for charities.
It used to be that I'd get something in the mail every once in a while, usually from the larger charites like American Cancer Society, March of Dimes, etc. . . but now I seem to get more mailings from charites in a week than I used to in 6 months. (Phone calls, too . . . usually at an inconvenient time.) Mostly these solicitations come from charities I never heard of. Often there's a "free gift" of something like return address labels included . . . sometimes they even get my city correct.
Have I just been lucky enough to get my name put on some mailing/phone list, or is everyone else getting similarly deluged?
