Your Contributions.......

This is one of the main reasons I belong to a Lions Club.
Read it and see why for yourself.
New members are always welcome
 
Thanks Bernie.... although I didn't mention the many service clubs I have a great respect for work done by the Lions, Rotary, Knights of Columbus as well as other great providers such as the Legion, Shriners and Masons etc.... Keep the faith and hope flowing.
 
 
Been around but worth re-thinking
.
 
THINK  BEFORE YOU DONATE
 
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS:
As  you open your pockets to do a good thing and make yourself feel good, please keep the following facts in mind:
----------------------------
The American Red Cross
President  and CEO Marsha J. Evans'
salary for the year was $651,957 plus expenses
 
MARCH OF DIMES
It is now called the March of Dimes because
only a dime for every 1 dollar is given to the  needy .
 
The United Way
President  Brian Gallagher
receives a $375,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefits.
 
UNICEF
CEO Caryl M. Stern receives
$1,200,000 per year (100k permonth) plus all expenses including a ROLLS ROYCE.
Less than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the  cause.
 
GOODWILL
CEO and owner Mark Curran profits $2.3 million a year.
Goodwill is a very catchy name for his business.
You donate to his business and then he sells the items for PROFIT.
He pays nothing for his products and pays his workers minimum wage! Nice Guy.

Stop giving to this man.
