Rotarian Dr. Joe Pinto, of the Community Concerns Committee, Committee, told fellow club members that everything from dictionaries dictionaries to notebooks arc needed for schools in Angttila, British West Indies, where .towns "were flattened by Hurricane Luis".

However, as member George Vice pointed out, there arc more and.more charities competing competing for donations. And lately, lately, the exposure of management-heavy management-heavy organizations and outright scams make faithful donors think twice about donating donating at all. Donors deserve to know how much of their dollar goes to their chosen cause, Vice said, and how much is used for salaries salaries and office supplies. People might be surprised to lcam the salaries earned at some "charities". He recalled one case where a director was making a $400,000 salary plus perqs.

"Two people walked away with millions of dollars of charitable money," he said. "There was nothing anyone could do because it was not registered as a charity." He hopes news of such scams will not scare donors away from legitimate fund-raisers. Public generosity is especially needed in these limes of government government cutbacks. Donors who want assurances that their money is going where it's needed may want to ask for audited statements from the charities they support. The federal government has the right to audit charities at any time. Two years ago the local Rotary club was audited and everything was deemed to be in order. The spring Easter Seals campaign campaign helps local children with physical disabilities. Funds go toward everything from artificial artificial limbs to summer camp. "There arc more than 72,000 . registered charities in Canada," Vice said. "There's only so much money available and as the number of charities increases increases there will be less money for each. " If top heavy organizations and unethical scam artists continue continue to cheat the public, we will all suffer, Vice warned. 225 King St. E., Bowmanville, Ontario Chock our Flyer In The Clnrington Independent family room downstairs, where our president Mrs. S.
