These stories are compelling. Many commercial clubs give and give, but too often no newspaper articles are written about their good deeds, and no television stations cover their significant contributions to the community.
It is hoped that one day, the legally incorporated non-profits will compete on the one playing field in which we all can participate.
The field of charity and making our local communities healthier, happier, safer and economically sound.
Until then, commercial clubs can do the right thing: Get the word out and let the communities they serve know what’s available to them.
