CA Emergency Fund - Feedback please

macms · 01-17-2009, 01:50 PM

I'm asking for feedback regarding this idea to provide emergency assistance to our brothers in need. In the coming weeks/months some of our brothers may experience hardship. There is a principle that says, you must give it away to keep it. In this spirit I hope that this idea will provide us the opportunity to practice this.

Gifts could be cash or pre-paid gift cards for grocery stores, etc. or direct payments for utilities, etc.

The committee members alluded to have been selected and will remain anonymous for the time being.

Thank you for reading this and providing your feedback. After reviewing your feedback and in consultation with our moderators, a decision will be made if will we proceed with it.
