The Holiday Season marketing cycle is indeed under way. There are greater needs than ever out there, hope folks give - but give wisely to causes where they are assured the deserving get the help. One way to give is of one's time as a volunteer.

The club where my daughter played basketball just had the CEO convicted of stealing funds and her former coach from that club is on Meagen's list as a child molester. The former head of the Santa Ana club left Kansas under questionable circumstances and then suddenly left Santa Ana. I've heard the same of other O.C. Boys and Girls Clubs.
