The Latina.              I joined the Knights of Columbus, I wanted to donate some time and do things       for the community.              This church was popular, all mass times were booked solid... Knights wanted to       do a breakfast... Pancake Tuesday.              There were a couple dozen Knights working this... an 80++ year old man doing       dishes... We were packed... as each mass came out they'd go for pancakes...              A few days later I was at a meeting with the Knights and they boasted that we       made, net, $250.00 from the breakfast...              I said loud enough to be heard... Why didn't everyone just pitch in $10       dollars and stay home... I was reminded about fellowship... and all I could       think was... I wanted to make a difference... Support some orphanage       somewhere... Help non-aborted babies in someway... ANYTHING other than work my       ass off for, as a group, to make $250.00              It was the last meeting I went to... I'll just donate to causes I want to and       not have my time given to an organization who gets excited about $250.              There is more to say... But I'll leave it at that.               IB Joe, Pronouns (FJB/LGB)        AKA Joe Schweier       SysOp of 4A 6F 65 73 42 42 53        -=JoesBBS.com=-              ...
