Thanks, I am planning to drive to the area on Memorial day weekend. I hope to get a “van” load of donations by then.

I am asking friends for donations and this will help me prepare a list for them!

As you open your pockets for the next natural disaster or that in Japan, please keep these facts in mind:

The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans
salary for the year was $651,957 plus expenses

The United Way President Brian Gallagher receives a $375,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefits

UNICEF CEO Caryl M. Stern receives $1,200,000 per year (100k per month) plus all expenses including a ROLLS ROYCE
Less than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the cause

The Salvation Army’s Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization.
96 percent of donated dollars go to the cause.

No further comment is necessary. Please share this with everyone you can.

Hi Friend, You are always there to help when there is a need. We have friends who live in Alabama and although they were spared they are out helping others who were not. Our prayers and support goes out to all our fellow Americans who lost loved ones in the terrible tornados.

I never cease to amaze that one of the most effective international relief organizations never gets one second of credit in the media; I am talking about Operation Blessing ('OB') and Pat Robertson.

In the midst of the Japanese tsunami and aftermath OB was making an extreme effort to deliver heaters and medical supplies to northern Japan in the midst of winter. After the Haiti earthquake the U.S. Navy offered ships to help OB to deliver needed emergency supplies, including large water purifying machines and food and medical aid. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina FEMA turned to OB because the numerous flooded swimming pools in the region were breeding dangerous mosquito populations carrying dreaded diseases... OB supplied a great number of small fish that eat mosquito larvae. OB was on the scene in middle-America during these late tornado disasters.

After the earlier tsunamis in southeast Asia and Indonesia OB was one of the first on the scene [they have offices and storage warehouses all around the globe.] Pat Robertson and OB encounter open doors when visiting China, Africa, etc.

One can arrange with OB to make monthly transfers from their bank accounts to the charity in order to provide immediate aid to any world-recognized catastrophe. While you are spreading word on needed charitable causes, remember Operation Blessing and tell your friends how they can be a part of almost every major catastrophe - and help to overcome the media blackout on a world-class aid organization.
