I heard oveer a christian radio station that the red cross needed/wanted to borrow" $3 million dollars.maybe this is why. Glo

Glo, That is a possibility, but I think that it more because they have almost used up their resources after the terrible hurricanes that have hit the Gulf Coast this year. Your security friend in Las Vegas.

G'day Anthony, Thanks for this info mate. The Salvos is the way to go. They do a lot of good over here too. Have fun Bryan

Hi Bryan. G'Day to you too mate, Yes, they do a brilliant job here, but it's the 'grunt's' that do all the leg work,for FREE & the'high up's' get all the pay. Somehow, it just don't seem right to this ex-pat, & Mrs Hobbs (Ma) did not raise no idiot..... Your security friend in Las Vegas.

Yes Anthony, It is a shame that these people make so much but, I really don't know what they do to earn it? Maybe they are earning thier wages? Do you know how many hours a week they work and what that work entails? How many days they have to be away from family working disaster sites, etc.? I really can't pass judgement on thier wages because just maybe.....they do earn every penny? I do think that the salvation army because it is a religous organization does pay a rather low wage for the work that organizing and running that big charity must take! But they are a part of that religous organization so they are not into it for the money but for the people they care for and the church! Just a little food for thought! As Always, God Bless! Sincerly, Susan
