Wow! You've discovered, using that neat little Google thingie, that (OMG!) people RAISE MONEY!! And *GASP* that people KNOW EACH OTHER!
What is the world coming to???
/sarcasm
I have never believed for one minute that you are paid to post here. That would be a total waste of money...lol.
It is not so much they know each other. However it doesnbecome important as to this. We hear there are alot of expenses that Simcox must paid.. Management stuff. I just find that a lot of what has to be paid seems to be going to the same folks over and over. That all these people just do not know each other(like Oh I know him, I played Tennis with last week), but seem to own or have an interest in all these other groups that are getting quite a piece of coin.
Actually it looks like they raise money for one "cause" and give a pittance to that purpose, but pay the majority of the money to one of their other groups for "advertising" or "marketing" or "accounting services" -- then they can also sell their mailing lists to yet another of their groups, and use that to raise money for another "cause".
In other words, it's a shell game, and most of the contributions go to line the pockets of the fundraisers, with very little actually making it to the "cause" the donors thought they were supporting.
And people complain because United Way charges an administrative fee!
BTW, cf, great work!
