Who does more for your community?

I haven't seen any of the listed ones do anything for our community!

I have seen the Boy Scouts do quite a lot!

ahh yeah my comunity dosn't do any thing for us
P.S. I am a white person

sporty girl, what does color have to do with anything?

We've got over 80% of the kids in our school district qualifying for and receiving the free breakfast/lunch program, yet our Legion Post thinks it's better to put a lot of it's $, time and effort into fixing up cemetaries in our area (not just veterans graves either). As nobel as that is, the funds and manpower could actually go towards helping the "living" in our community. I thought that's what the cemetary's commitiees were for? They do do alot of good for the community, for example, they sponsored several kids to go to summer camp--I think that's more along the lines of what they should be doing....It was a poor decision to fix up the cemetaries, gravestones/grave markers....let the families and cemetary commities handle that.

Proud, I understand where you are coming from, but I don't really have a problem with any organization helping to maintain our cemetaries. Each of these organizations work to raise their own funds and I feel the membership of these organizations should have a say as to where the funds go. As long as the funds go to something to improve our communities, I don't have a problem.

As for improving cemetaries, I feel they are links to the past (not just for families, but also veterans and community leaders) and we need to do whatever we can to instill a solid understanding and appreciation of the past in the children of today.

Overall, in our area, we are lucky to have so many different organizations that work to improve the overall quality of life. For help with reducing the cost of food, there is Angel Food Ministries and the Rotary and Lions always seem to be willing to help out.

Fred, very well said, excellent points, hadn't thought of it that way...thanks

Lots!

You make no sense what so ever.

I'm a Hillary Voter backing McCain. At least we know McCain. If McCain could be a war hero, Obama could get his ass over there. Do you think he is better then any of our proud men and women who are already over there serving our Country.
