Let's all give a collective "awwwww"
Just read in the Naples Daily News that the amount raised last night at the Winter Wine Festival, at the Ritz Carlton Resort, was only $8.5 million. Last year it was $12.4 million. Fund raisers speculated it was lower because of the uncertainty over tax increases on the poor folks attending. So I guess they're taking it out on the poor and unfortunate folks benefiting from the charity.

The state of the economy is a reality. WTF!
They raised $8.5 million, and it isn't enough? This place needs a collective lobotomy.
