Charity is in many people's hearts this time of year. And -- don't hold this against them -- it may be on their spreadsheet, too, as they consider year end tax deductions. On the next sound of ideas, Plain Dealer Consumer expert Sheryl Harris joins us to talk about making smart charitable donations. And whether it's spare change in the kettle or writing a fat check, we'll talk about how to make your gift count. Plus, how to avoid uncharitable holiday scams. Monday at 9 on 90.3.
