I have always have some misgivings about the fund raiser for the orphans who live in an Orphanage ran by nuns because it always seemed to me most of the guys that helped out in this thing had their own agenda and the kids were secondary. Some guys wanted to promote the escorts, promote the spa, others are none practicing Christians, and see this as a way to do some good, after doing so much bad. A few wanted to show how much money they had and contributed a lot, as if says, look at me I'm rich. And even a smaller few, used the fund raiser of meeting new friends, some even trying to show they really aren't the lowlife they seem to be from the forum. lol
I never thought having a fund raiser with parading escorts was such a good idea, as it as to a circus atmosphere, besides after the fund raiser you can go out and find your own girl, and it's been my experience guy go to these things out of curiosity to meet guys behind the handle and bullshit a little. But I'm sure I'm in the minority here, as most guys like the escort, especially the HOT ones.
But I think overall the positives out weight any of the negatives, and think of it like a Jerry Lewis telethon, where a big corporate sponsor give a big check, but not before saying how wonderful the working people are at "such and such company, and what a great company it is. The bottom line is the kids get the money. I haven't been to those private mean spirited sites and seen what they are accusing Sampson of doing now, but this goes on every year, no matter who is running it, and as far as I know most if not all the money goes to the orphans along with shoes, clothes, and toys. ( If I have any spies out there, send me a PM about the latest gossip on those private bad sites?)
Even I supported the fund raisers three times, and actually been to two of them, the other time I sent a check by mail, and always felt secure knowing that all the money I gave went to the worthy cause. I can't say the same for the Red Cross or United Way, and one of the reasons why I won't give to them.
In fact I think I just might contribute again this year, maybe I'll match whatever Bohemian gives or some other monger? But more then likely I'll send a money order in the mail but won't make the fiesta, as most people forgot how I look like, and no longer know who I am in the zona, and I want to keep it that way for a number of good reasons.
But yes those orphan fund raisers are a lot of fun, and not only are there escorts, but you also have those MP girls from behind La Tropa come out and mingle in the crowd...You have free food and free beer. Sampson is a very friendly guy, and does put on a good show IMHO.
