This is one of the things that anger me Gayle, not you personally, but I just cannot understand why it is necessary to pay someone who knows the "buzz" words.

WHY should it be necessary?

If the committee of an elderly folks home put in a request for funds, providing they state who they are, how much they require and for what purpose, that should be all that it needs! even if a red pen is used and is scribed with an elderly shaky hand. I assume the decision makers get off their butts and check the validity of any request - or do they?


In effect, those people in real need are being discriminated against because they are not in a position to pay people like yourself to put in their requests for funds.
