   I'm Catholic, convert so that I could Church marry my wife... 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.
