Philanthropy - not so free

We were just looking up some of the known wealthy members of the LDS church to compare what they did with their money in contrast to what the wealthy of the "world" does with theirs. The findings were interesting, but that is not what this blog is about. Although, we did find that they are more giving than the rest of the world. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been recognized by many as great philanthropists, yet they have around 6 multi-million dollar mansions throughout the world, not to mention the many other extravagances they do/have. Whereas, the LDS people that we searched, such as John M. Huntsman and J Willard Marriott, gave much of their money to charities, and spent less on mansions. So, you are probably wondering where all of this is going. We don't want to speculate as to who is the biggest giver, but we did want to find out for ourselves who that may have been. We visited the site claiming to be the newspaper of the Nonprofit World, The Chronicle of Philanthropy. We joked that it would be funny if we had to pay to read the articles. Funny thing is many of the articles that you may want to read, guess what, you have to pay for them. We thought that pretty ironic being "The Newspaper of the Nonprofit World" , and thought we share it with the world. Here is the web address if you want to take a look at it yourself. http://philanthropy.com/

Sophie, Gabby and a Rubber Duck

This is an old video that we took of Sophie and Gabby. I thought it would be fun to post it for others to see.
