Get Past the First Date With Donors

About a month later, I received a "One Month Report" with a video update on the Red Cross' continued efforts in Haiti, which served to give me information in line with my interests and remind me of my earlier support and the ongoing need. Around the same time, on Valentine's Day, a simple e-card — no donation ask — arrived, thanking me for being a donor. The subject line read, "The heart of our mission: You." Even though I'd only given once, the message implied that I was a part of something bigger.
