Let’s set up a Villages Community Foundation registered with the IRS and the State as a bone fide charitable organization.
Take the money - as much as $30 million and start providing gifts, grants and/or loans to our less fortunate workers and business owners as needed.
Who knows, maybe the Morse extended family could throw in a large contribution (tax deductible ) for good measure.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE. I AM VERY SERIOUS.
If you agree, simply post your support now. If you believe you could offer meaningful ideas and would like to help in some way, send me an email and I will start a group.
We owe something to the cashiers, restaurant workers, shop owners and their employees and others who make this a great community.
Thanks for reading.
