Keep in mind when you donate!

Post by $parechange »

As you open your pockets for yet another natural disaster, keep these facts in mind:

• Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross... salary for year $651,957 plus expenses.
• Brian Gallagher, President of the United Way receives a $375,000 base salary, plus numerous expense benefits.
• UNICEF CEO receives $1,200,000 per year plus all expenses and a ROLLS ROYCE where ever he goes and only cents of your dollar goes to the cause.
• The Salvation Army's Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization.

No further comment necessary.

Most of that info is outdated per Snopes Oct 2010. But, as far as I am concerned it's no different than them darned TV preachers stealing your money that are supposed to go to the needy. X(
Never will donate through a 2nd hand "organization".

Marina/Ramp: Currently mostly out of Jamestown but spend a lot of time at the other Marinas.

Pre2012-Conley Bottom Mostly, Waitsboro, Alligator I&II ramps, Leesford, Pulaski County Park (when it has water), Grider, State Dock (via boat), and Jamestown are a few places you might find me.

me either Katie. Sometimes I donate to the Susan G Komen foundation and sometimes to the Special Olympics thing Rod does but other than that I keep things down to a first level basis or organizations that I know where what goes and approve of.

Will we be able to get back the info for Bubbles once restored?

If we can't I will try to find the links again.

If they find the restore point it will be easy to restore.
