Relationship Question

I hava a table storing client info and the ClientID field is my PK.
The client can do many things: make donations that get stored in
donations table, make purchases that get stored in the purchases
table, receive up to 20 monthly periodicals which are stored in ...

Is it OK if I use the ClientID field from my Client table as a foreign
key in several other tables as a one-to-many relationship?

It just looks kind of strange.

Thanks

Yes, it is OK to have multiple relationships including the same table.
