The New Salvation Army Toy Castle for Those in Need will be open at Westgate Mall, starting on Monday, December 17 through December 21. Thanks to this toy castle, families receive food and clothing. Disadvantaged children find toys under their Christmas trees.
It will be open all week between 7 AM and 8:30 PM. If you'd like to volunteer a few hours at that time, just click on this link.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I'm hoping that the title word "Slavation" is a typo. The content of the post is obviously an endorsement of the Salvation Army's efforts. I've supported the Salvation Army for years. Sadly, they are one of the few major charities that has not been plagued by scandal or theft. Given all of the problems with local politics and charities, I don't think an attempt at humor like this is necessary.
ReplyDeleteRs, Lighten up, dude. It's just a typo. I can't spell check my headlines and never noticed the error.
ReplyDeleteSorry if I seem over the top. It's just that I've seen too many major league charities really badly managed or riped off. The best was the United Way president down in D.C. who stole money to support a high flying life style and a mistress. At his trial, he attempted a defense basing his behavior on "shrinking brain syndrome". He was convicted, but the charity last hundreds of thousands.
ReplyDeleteI had assumed that it was a typo, but not carried through at the end.
RS, Like you, I value the SA. I particularly like the way they help folks going thru a hard time.
ReplyDeleteSA efforts = good.
ReplyDeleteSA bell ringers = bad
lol.
I do like the good that the SA does, and I really admire their efforts. I just can't stand the bell ringers.
Are you volunteering at all?
I'm hoping for a donation.
