CHRISTMAS CASH FOR KIDS - 2024

[Golddollar]

Today I went down again to radio station WFMD in Frederick, MD for its annual week of special programming for Christmas Cash for Kids in conjunction with the local Salvation Army. The Salvation Army determined that over 1300 children from over 600 families were eligible for receiving the Christmas presents that this program makes available. I'm an old radio guy, so I got to go on the air and describe the contribution I was going to make, 25 Golden Dollars and 10 Eisenhower Dollars. And in a well established tradition, I got to make my annual "Dollar Drop" of the coins on to the table and make the sounds of the falling coins go out over the airwaves. The station enjoys the little performance that I do, and I enjoy seeing my friends at the radio station and being able to get on the air to contribute something to the community. It's always a lot of fun.

I just mailed Christmas cards off to my grandkids for my greats, all 131/2 of them. A few bucks for each & Christmas greetings for the whole family' They all live so far away it's the only I can wish them Merry Christmas.

I give my usual: a couple or three hundred to the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital, as they saved my good friend's twin grandsons when they were born. And many other peoples' kids from all over. Then the grand children and my kids will be getting money. Wife can buy the gifts.

When you say golden dollars, what are you referring to? The walking Liberty type dollars?

They are the Sacawajea Dollar coins that were minted starting in 2000 and the Presidential Dollar coins that were minted starting in 2007 and are still being minted to this day.
