Sadly, we have been made aware that due to Calaveras County's Mary Sawicki's recommendations, the Calaveras Community Fund will not be giving any money to the Butte Fire victims.
Instead, they are giving the money to pay the salaries of organizations who basically simply direct Butte Fire victims on where to go, or to give other counseling; not any money will go directly to help these poor people.
We heartily argue that those people are out there dying and organizations are only feeding each other. Some things never change in Calaveras County!

Isn't this the limit!! All this money donated and is probably sitting it in some General Fund to be used on some totally unrelated desire later on - this is awful. And all these fundraisers and concerts, etc. being held throughout the county - how is that money actually "given" to the fire victims?? I'll bet the fire victims have not personally received any!
Come on! Don't you know that both Harrington and Callaway are now on that board? This is just one bureaucracy feeding another bureaucracy. And I hear they take 2% or so and keep it for their own expense. If you want to donate, give directly to someone you know that lost their home, or to a local church.
