I heard some rumblings about the Red Cross around Katrina/Rita time but no details. What did they do? I used to think they were a good organization but have been drawn more to those that seem to get the money in the hands of those in need. I am not opposed to them making a decent living but some go over board on their compensation. To me, if a high percentage of the funds donated goes to the recipient then that is the definition of well run charity.

I used to work at big companies that did the United Way campaigns. What a scam. They put the CEO or other senior exec on some smarmy, feel good committee and he or she in turn extorts money from their employees. I refused to participate and it got noticed.....not in a good way.
