This casual dress on Friday for the March Of Dimes is a good idea. It should be expanded.

What if we allowed everyone in this company the option of wearing professional casual attire to work in exchange for a $1 payroll deduction, allowable only on days when they were not going to be in contact with clients? That would be up to $5 a week for each person, with good incentive to donate. With approximately 925 employees in the Hancock New England Area, that would produce a theoretical maximum of over $375,000 a year in potential charitable contributions. It could be added as a check-box on the time cards and taken directly through payroll, on an honor system basis.
