If the suggestion is to pass donations to the financial officers of an individual congregation, how are those officers expected to &amp;quot;forward&amp;quot; the donations to the District Office? Courier?  Obviously, they cannot use Canada Post!  Will they just &amp;quot;hold&amp;quot; the donations, until the lock-out situation is resolved?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36129840/1319094541603788516/comments/default/147684606692267419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36129840/1319094541603788516/comments/default/147684606692267419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.concordiasem.ab.ca/2011/06/ways-to-donate-during-postal-strike.html?showComment=1308944468116#c147684606692267419' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.concordiasem.ab.ca/2011/06/ways-to-donate-during-postal-strike.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36129840.post-1319094541603788516' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36129840/posts/default/1319094541603788516' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1653832654'/></entry></feed>
