Monster Mash--4/29

The annual Gala--A chance to be "seen" in one's finery with Hud and his bud.... Just what I want to do. On the surface, it looks great...charitable donation, mixing with the 'society' of Paris...who either don't have a clue, or don't care...because they're going to Baylor.

"But", you say, "it's going to a good cause...." Yep, one of them is: Nursing scholarships.

Paris healthcare? Maybe, but isn't that their code words for PRMC? Remember, they don't do anything for free. Make it a donation to the Agape Clinic, and maybe I would be less cynical...nah!

Grants are available for diabetes research, but, they are done on two criterias: who you know, or what you produce.

The Annual Golf tournament sort of fizzled: Who wants to buddy up to the E$$ent boys? Apparently not enough for a foursome. No, I can't say that, the board would make a foursome, and they're in bed with E$$ent, so I guess it would just be a case of rolling over one more time.

Speaking of the board, Gene is the one that's pushing the Gala. After all the history, it would seem like he's still right at the forefront.

If you really want to help a student nurse, there are probably scholarships that could use funding. If not, start one. Call it the "Paris for Excellence in Healthcare". Slap conditions on it that they'll have to pull a 3.0 minimum, and that they can prove financial need...I'll contribute. Heck, I'd put a link for a PayPal contribution.


Just say NO! to Hud and his bud.
