We talk ...Hi Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>What purpose would it serve? We talk about the embezzlement and we wind up with donors worried their money will be stolen - never mind that My Sister Friends' House was the victim in this case.<BR/><BR/>Also, why would we want to alienate the good people at the SD Coalition? One crook does not mean an organization is corrupt. SD Coalition wants to help; I believe that they will do what they can. I won't do anything to chase that away.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, so what? They lost a grant and money was stolen. Different disasters - same result: battered women and sexual assault victims not getting shelter and safety. <BR/><BR/>Much more important to focus on keeping the doors open at MSFH in my opinion.Andy Ternayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182298889983391784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391235292863202282.post-24956499320313704112008-08-17T18:16:00.000-06:002008-08-17T18:16:00.000-06:00I have to wonder why nobody is mentioning that a s...I have to wonder why nobody is mentioning that a significant factor related to their funding "running out" is that one of the SD Coalition's past directors was turned in for - and pled guilty to - embezzlement. There have been long-standing questions about the SD Coalition's "bookkeeping" practices and their spending. With some re-prioritizing of the spending of this organization and its sister programs, they could quite easily support this shelter. (And no, I am not caucasian. I am a reservation born and raised Native American working in the non-profit arena in SD.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391235292863202282.post-36178095635658394632008-08-15T13:37:00.000-06:002008-08-15T13:37:00.000-06:00I heard about your work and your troubles at the P...I heard about your work and your troubles at the Pretty Bird Woman House blog and have passed the word to my friends on LiveJournal.
