Kerchow!! Raymond Moreno is the Man!

Day of service

Editor - Your Jan. 14 editorial calling for a day of service on Martin Luther King's birthday seems noble enough on the surface but it left me wondering: While I agree "doing something for someone less fortunate" is a good idea, why not include those very people in the equation? The concept of giving something back should also apply to those who have been given so much. The "less fortunate" are the recipients of a number of government programs, i.e., welfare, Section 8 housing, food stamps etc. All courtesy of the taxpayers. It would seem reasonable to enlist them first in your call for service. God knows they have the time.
