I’ll tell ya John W.
And I’ll be nice.

Many years ago on Davis Island in downtown Tampa there was a great skate rental place.
They held events year round to raise money for “jerry’s Kids”. Raised about $10,000 and felt great about it.
Seems the folks responsible came to town and asked the folks to meet them at Burns Steakhouse where they could give them the check/

After that, the skate rental place started giving locally to charity.
Just my two cents.
It doesn’t get more 5 star than Burns and that just doesn’t sem to be the way to spend the money

When visiting the Grandparents in Tucson Arizona, I was struck on how their headquarters was located in the nicest part of town up in the hills. It reminded me of the prosperity preachers on television.
