Once people work to achieve something together, they have a common bond that will keep them coming back to volunteer, raise more funds for expansion, or simply to visit the center and take pride in what decent people can do IN HARMONY.
CARING is what it takes to fund and manage a facility like this, and the Morse family has indeed been caring. I can't even count the number of times a major donor has set up a Matching Funds program in which they match or double or triple what community donors give. It is motivating!
I smell class envy, and that is the poison that fractures a community instead of uniting it.

I am not sure if class envy is what is driving some of these posts, but I absolutely agree with you about about people working together for a "GOOD" cause!
and I do think that "good thoughts and actions" promote more "good thoughts and actions" ---- sort of like that old hair color commercial... and so on, and so on....
