A few years ago I signed up for monthly donations of $20 to the Australian Red Cross. I assumed that I was agreeing to a one year arrangement. I cannot recall if it was a door-knock or a phone call to which I agreed to join. A couple of weeks ago I received a donation receipt for the 2014-15 financial year. It seems that once signed up, the donations continue to be sucked out of my bank until the arrangement is cancelled.
I rang Red Cross and they confirmed that I had to cancel to stop further payments. I remonstrated that many oldies like me don’t often look closely at bank statements and that their bank account may be drained for years.
I am getting a little forgetful of late, but I cannot remember receiving a tax statement from Red Cross before.
My friend Dennis is home and well after his major surgery. I find it quite amazing that after such complex surgery he was well enough to come home after just 12 days post op.
