Hmmm?? Why you shouldn't volunteer at a soup kitchen this Thanksgiving..

Thanksgiving is a day to be grateful for what you have and to think about giving back to others. In the spirit of giving, thousands of well-meaning people search for opportunities to volunteer at soup kitchens or food banks on Thanksgiving day each year.

Here’s why you shouldn’t.

“If you really want to volunteer, pick any day, but don’t pick Thanksgiving or the day after Thanksgiving,” said Eileen Heisman, CEO and President of the National Philanthropic Trust.

It may seem counterintuitive to argue that you shouldn’t volunteer on a day that literally has “giving” in the name, but Heisman explained that many charities, especially smaller ones, can be overwhelmed by an influx of one-time volunteers. It takes charities time and resources to train volunteers, she said, and making a long-term commitment is the best way to help.

Mary Lou Bozza, director of development at Haley House, a nonprofit that runs a soup kitchen in Boston, said that while charities do have volunteering lulls, the holidays aren't one of them.She suggested finding other ways to give back, like donating to a holiday clothing drive.
Heisman also encouraged people in the giving spirit to donate their time or money on #GivingTuesday, a global charitable campaign on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
“Giving money is always wonderful,” she said. “If you do have the ability to raise money, think about giving a cash gift.”

Here you go.. Happy Holidays/Festivus for the rest of us..

Dayton icon Jerry Gillotti, Gilly’s nightclub owner, dies

RIP Mr Gillotti. You were the first club owner to hire me as an opening act while I was still in college. Thank you for helping me believe in my talent. God bless. Mystro.

Performers booked at Gilly’s through the years include a host of local groups and a laundry list of national acts that include Tony Bennett, Diane Schuur, BB King, Wynton Marsalis, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Bill Evans, George Benson, Herbie Hancock, Count Basie, Bobby Blue Bland and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Jerry Gillotti “was one of a kind, really focused on supporting musicians, treating his customers fairly, and providing a quality level of jazz and blues beyond anything we could ever expect,”. “So many musicians owe so much to him.”

In his nomination of Jerry Gillotti to the Dayton Walk of Fame, Leppla said Gillotti became one of the greatest jazz and blues promoters in the United States. After a successful run on North Main Street, Jerry moved Gilly’s to the Dayton Transportation Center. In addition, Jerry hosted a Sunday morning jazz show for several years on WING-AM radio.

Heartfelt tributes to Mr. Gillotti have been posted on Facebook as well.

WTF?- Can elephant trophy hunting really help species survival?

Shooting endangered animals as a contribution to conservation efforts sounds like the greatest oxymoron of all time, yet it is that reasoning our current administration used to back up its proposal to allow elephant parts obtained through hunting in Zimbabwe and Zambia to be taken home as trophies.
The outcry prompted the administration to reverse its stance the next day.
Logic wins...whewww.

Another Mass Shooting! WTF

With more mass shootings than any civilized nation on earth, Our response is still "it's too soon to discuss gun laws". Just change the date etc.

Advice from a combat Vet:
"Just because you have a gun doesn't make you a gun fighter." MC100

300x More people have died from gun violence in America than terrorist acts. (facts don't lie)
