[Vision2020] Joy Sun: Should you donate differently?

[Kenneth Marcy]

Due to other commitments previously made, I feel it necessary to 
restrain myself from accepting your invitation, and allow your 
charitable ministrations to remain in your capable hands.  Between now 
and the dates you mentioned I am constrained by my own full-time SANTA 
activities (Study and Note Trenchant Answers) in order to prepare myself 
to ELF (Evince Learned Fundamentals) during a semi-periodic local ritual 
known as final examinations.  This semester's Academic Calendar 
indicates that final examinations are to be given in the week following 
December 12 and ending December 19.
