A State Senator in New York was arrested on Monday for corruption, falsifying business records, tampering with business records and running what state investigators called a sham education non-profit to siphon public money to her aide and a niece.  Unbelievably, this 74 year old woman violated the public trust all in order to take less than $30,000 out of a non-profit called Parent Workshop Inc. to help a friend and a relative.  News like this  is so disturbing because there are so many good non-profits out there and it makes it that much more difficult for those of us that are trying to make a real difference raise money.  I worked long and hard to get Hands To Help Seniors to where it is today.  We're proud to have no paid staff members and all volunteers which are doing a great job getting ready for our event Elegant Eats and Divine Treats which will be held September 27 at Bernardus Lodge starting at 5:30 p.m.  We hope to see you there.  If you'd like to buy tickets, click here.  If you would like to make a donation, please click on the donate button above.
