News-Press Holiday Fund..

is a scam and PR gimmick! stop feeding shady nonprofits!
This year the NewsPress Holiday Fund will seek donations to fund a bird house, co-supported by the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and the Santa Barbara Audubon Society...and to help the Boys and Girls Clubs locally...if you want to make sure the cash gets to the deserving Boys and Girls clubs, send it directly. However, sending money to the News-Press so it can give it to the SBMNH/Audubon Society is a ripoff and discredit to the Boys and Girls Clubs!
 
The SB Audubon Society is an offshoot of the National Audubon Society. The National Audubon Society has net assets of (drum roll please) $303,253,253!!!! Don't you think they could send a few dollars to the Santa Barbara Chapter...
The SBMNH under the leadership of Karl Hutterer has sponsored booze (Tequila and wine tasting) parties during Fiesta. Hutterer makes $133000 a year and his wife Nancy is the treasurer of the Museum League! The Museum has net assets of $70,000,000 (seventy million!). Their revenue for fiscal year 2007 was $14,000,000!! Why do they need to solicit holiday money from you through the News-Press?? The Museum needs new leadership!!!
the NewsPress (Nipper and Wendy) pulled this animal stunt last year and gave money to the Animal Rescue Team, Julia Di Sieno, #69, who promptly bungled a mountain lion cub rescue attempt in Solvang..the cubs should have been left alone but rescuer Julia couldn't keep her hands off! She blamed the Dept of Fish and Game for her incompetence! The News-Press was complicit in the cover up with anti-gov't editorials, written by the defunct/discredited/disappearing/dunce Travis Armstrong..The ART has turned into a weird little marketing device....do they use donations to make and sell tee shirts??
ARTTEESHIRTS!!
Wendy and Nipper..you oughta be ashamed of yourselves!!
