Howdy neighbors,
Traditionally, CGNE has made an annual donation to support Lend-a-Hand, a neighborhood-based nonprofit operating specifically in central Tucson neighborhoods. I’m sure you know a lot about them from Vicki’s posts, but essentially they provide assistance to enable seniors and people with disabilities to remain in their homes.
Recently, some folks have expressed concern about their neighborhood dues being used to support charitable organizations, arguing that their dues should be used only for CGNE purposes. (As you know if you’ve looked at the treasurer’s report, CGNE has a healthy bank balance, so I don’t anticipate a situation where a donation would leave us short of funds.)
So I am conducting an informal poll of neighborhood sentiment. Do you support
Public discussion is welcome, but please keep your tone neighborly and issue-focused.
Thanks,
Kirsteen

I vote for #1 - continue with Lend a Hand because it serves our neighborhood well.

I'd vote for continuing to donate to Lend a Hand. I have a friend, another retiree, who volunteers with them.
We traditionally gave $100 to Lend-a-Hand, two years ago we gave $200, last year we gave $150. This has been a topic we have had on the agenda for previous meetings, but somehow we never get to it. Here is the treasurer’s report from August:
June 30, 2024 ending balance $3628.61
Add $25 one person paid dues
-$.75 PayPal fee
+ $.12 bank interest
August 30,2024 ending balance $3652.98
