Yeah, I'll probably work thru both. I want to make sure my money gets to Florida. I think I've mentioned this here before but do you remember when a tornado hit a retirement center in Florida? It was next to the baseball camp.

Well anyway there was this elderly woman crying and stating her husband dead and her home destroyed and she just wanted to die too. My husband wanted to donate a used RV we had to her. He would probably have even delivered it. He called Red Cross. They weren't interested and instructed us to sell it and just send them the money. We quit donating after that. I'm sure they do a lot of good work but.....

Just got back on.

If you just HAVE to give money to something..........
DO NOT GIVE IT TO THE RED CROSS!

Remember the mess about 9/11? The Red Cross did not give all the money that was given, that was supposed to go to the families.
I don't believe it did.
FOX and O'Reilly, tried to get to the bottom of it.
But I just wasn't satisfied about it.

Instead they saved it for other disasters. Not necessarily in these United States. The Red Cross is world wide.

It all sounds good.......But the money you give to the Red Cross may buy toiletries for Saddam Hussein, or other terrorists.

To say the least, I would give to charities that I know
serve the Lord.

I would not give the Red Cross one red cent!!!

GIVE TO THE SALVATION ARMY!!!

This is my opinion!
