Guess Who?
�
A guy walked into a post office one early February day to see a middle�aged, �
balding man standing at the counter methodically placing “Love” stamps on �
bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then took out a perfume �
bottle and started spraying them with the scent. �
�
His curiosity got the better of him, so he went up to the balding man and �
asked him what he is doing. �
�
The man said, “I’m sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, ‘Guess who?’”�
�
“But why?” asked the man. �
�
“I'm a divorce lawyer,” the man replied.�

DONATIONS
Contributions can be made to the Adult &
Aging Services Department in memory or in
honor of a person or as a general donation. If
you would like a card sent to someone in the
family notifying them of your contributions,
please let us know.
The $7 subscription fee for the newsletter is not
considered a memorial donation. This is
because, according to the IRS, you are receiving
something in return. Therefore, it has to be
done separately.
Checks should be made payable to Martin
County Council on Aging, Inc. (MCCOA), PO
Box 1023, Williamston NC 27892. This will
insure that your money is used exactly as you
prefer. All contributions (not newsletter
subscriptions) are tax deductible as provided in
Section 10 of the Internal Revenue Code.
