WEAR A GLOVE Carmine Minardi and Beth Minardi of the Minardi Salon in Manhattan, have a goodworks method of thanking their associates. “Around the holidays, we purchase Charity Checks to give as gifts, usually to doctors, lawyers and professional relationships of that nature,” says Carmine. “We purchase what looks like a gift certificate, in different denominations, $50, $100, $500, etc. “You present the check as a gift, and he or she in turn writes that check out to whatever charity is important to them. This ensures that the person you give to gets to give back to the charity of their choice.” Find more info at www.charitychecks.com.
