Why should we support an operation that will be moving to Suisun and helping people from the Fairfield Suisun area? The Christmas fund collected by the VALLEJO paper should stay in VALLEJO. The T-H should re-think this. I do not want my contributions to leave this city..

ALL funds collected in Vallejo for Vallejo at anytime will be used only for Vallejo!! That's why the Salvation Army wants to keep a service center open, even though the church will be closed for the time being.

This really is very sad. The Salvation Army has proven to be just the opposite of, say, The United Way. They consistently have the lowest overhead of any major charity. No jet-setting, no scandals, no perks for executives, no ARM-TWISTING by human resources personnel brow-beating you into charitable submission. Just good people quietly doing good deeds for other humans, with some prayer thrown in. I will continue to donate when I see the bucket during the holidays.

Damn, Vallejo can't even keep a Salvation Army! First it was Wal-Mart, now this. What is Vallejo coming to? Dummies!

ValRes: the Vallejo operation has been subsidized by other Solano areas. Read the article.

Aquarius

You're eager to have a good time, and nothing less will do; you'll soon put your work to one side and start to enjoy yourself instead. If you're going to a social event that you've been looking forward to for ages, try to keep a firm grip on your expectations in case reality falls far short of them. Be especially realistic if you've got high hopes of love and romance.
