It's breaks myheart to be part of a community that seems unable to support its own like this -- or chooses to pick and choose who it thinks is ok to help. $300 would have helped a lot w/the immediate setbacks. Ypu can be sure that I am going to contact the people who have donated money and give them an eearful on the situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6985787845830601937.post-22470806205486061002008-07-10T14:42:00.000-07:002008-07-10T14:42:00.000-07:00For Anyone : Update from the CPOA on the Fire Reli...For Anyone : Update from the CPOA on the Fire Relief Fund - 7/9<BR/><BR/>Type of Notice: Official Notices<BR/><BR/>To date, we have received donations totaling just over $200,000.<BR/><BR/>With this money, CPOA has reviewed and approved 569 grants in the amount of $300.00.<BR/><BR/>Over 400 have been distributed, an additional 100 are ready for distribution, and we are holding 100 more pending verification.
