As a social worker, it was fairly easy to tell lazy takers from the truly needy.
To say that everyone has equal opportunity bootstraps or that everyone should get free cell phones?

A great fundraiser is decorator house tours. Women love to show their homes. 8 or 9 different style homes...tickets $10 and maybe TV would supply one or two of their tour buses. I have been involved with them and there is always great community support and fun. Houses for Humanity is also a good one. Lots of great talent in TV, we need to help our neighbors.
