Rob Tucker had announced the county program on this forum:
http://www.punaweb.org/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9340
Two of the posters on this thread who are now saying that that they were not notified of the county program actually posted on that thread.
The county had volunteers for programs that they were offering, and were trying to accommodate the needs of the families that signed up for the programs. Because of the lack of families signing up, they have canceled, and changed, some of the Furlough Friday programs.
If you have been told about a program, comment on the program & still do not check on it until the county is canceling the programs, whose problem is that???
Also, the gas tax that was repealed was not a "little" income stream... it was close to, if not more than, the income the state needed to keep the schools open... that is why I use it as an example.
I have always asked how we are willing to give back, never mentioned WHERE to give back, yet posters here continue to to say that I am suggesting that you give it back to the government... I have not, I have asked that you give back to the community.
For those that this furlough day is effecting (including myself):
If you have notified about a program that can assist you & not checked up on it until it is too late.... what good would more notices be??? ETA: Think of how those people that volunteered to assist, and had the programs cancelled feel!
If your family is paying a heavy price for the decisions of our officials, and you have not contacted them, why not?
If you are not active & motivated, why not?
Are you doing your duty as a citizen, or not??
