But I think it would have been fairer to give the award to someone who doesn't nessecarily live in a mansion, may not have millions of dollars, but still devotes their life to helping others. |
Yep, perhaps someone who gives more than many of us can imagine, someone from the CFA or SES for example. _________________ Jacqui © Proud Pies 2003 and beyond |

You are told in advance that you have been nominated and can refuse the nomination at that stage, as many people do. |

Btw, personally I don't necessarily agree with Trisha being the best choice for the award, but the personal attacks on her are over the top. |

I don't think she was a good choice either but not sure if any of those comments are required. |

Not quite true, she's done one year of charity work, the other years it was her job. Like I said, her 'charity' work for the 5 years had zero bearing on this, but was a nice way for the committee to be able to tick a box on her application. |
