Gifts
I love being wooed with a present. I believe that the classiest men still observe old fashioned dating rituals. Your thoughtful gestures really set a mood of traditional romance to our modern dating. I have been charmed with thoughtful treasures, reflecting priceless memories. I feel very blessed with things. Rather than brightening my day with diamonds or sweetening my first impression with chocolates, it would mean so much to me if you would donate to my favorite charities.

A bouquet of tax deductible receipts in hand as opposed to roses, now that is what I call romance! Teasingly, please feel free to leave the paperwork at home. Oh,… and don’t be surprised to receive a little extra special treatment for your demonstration of fine generosity.
Give and you shall receive…wink, wink.

Yours Truly,
Olivia Bentley

Men Stopping Violence


Men Stopping Violence is a social change organization dedicated to ending men's violence against women. Men Stopping Violence works locally and nationally to dismantle belief systems, social structures, and institutional practices that oppress women and children and dehumanize men themselves. We look to the violence against women's movement to keep the reality of the problem and the vision of the solution before us. We believe that all forms of oppression are interconnected. Social justice work in the areas of race, class, gender, age, and sexual orientation are all critical to ending violence against women. www.menstoppingviolence.org
