Fw: RE: [Vision2020] KEM on CQE and $$$

[J Ford]

I would like to put this in as kind a manner as I can for everyone:

CQE is a PRIVATE, non-GOVERNMENTLY sanctioned/run/financed organization.  As 
such they are not required to devulge any financial information to anyone at 
any time for any reason.  It's like an organization that is specifically 
targeting any other cause - they are private and have the ability and right 
to stay that way.  Anyone giving to them is under no obligation to denote 
what they have given, either in percentages or in actual sums.  It's like 
giving to the March of Dimes or Boy Scouts - unless you are claiming it on 
your taxes, it really is no one's business how much you have given nor it is 
those organizations' place to tell anyone what you have given.  Even then, 
that's between you and your taxman or accountant - not the general public.

On a side note - it really should not matter (I realize someone is going to 
disagree) what any ONE person or organization has given to CQE...the point 
is CQE does have funds to run their ads and print their flyers for a cause 
they are fighting/working for.  NONE of those monies are derived from the 
MSD school budget.  I am sure the Trails and other families give a lot of 
time and/or money to a lot of different causes.  We, as the public, do not 
have the right to ask them to line-item those donations no matter how much 
another person wants to know.

I hope that helps.     ;)
