[StBernard] Kitchenware Giveaway

[Westley Annis]

I personnally thought the volunteers and sheriff's office did a wonderful
job. Yes, I stood in line for 3 hours, but I expected that.  How many people
stand in line for concert tickets or to be on American Idol ?  And, yes, I
have pots & dishes---mix matched, chipped and cracked that were given by
friends and family; used pots given by our landlord who owns a restaurant. I
am not complaining, because I am eternally grateful for anything that was
given to us.  But like Gaby I would llike to have my own when I move back
into my house.  And anything that I get extra, is donated to St. Vincent De
Paul or someone else in need. Why didn't people complain when items were
given out at Christmas ?  I'm sure there was a line there, also.  But then
again, maybe not, since it was not advertised to everyone.

Jer, you are correctamundo!
This should have been coordinated thru the Parish Gov't.  Say, you have to
go to gov't complex to "pre-register".  The starting time could have been
"x" time.  If you get there in line and there are x number of people in line
they are given tickets and tell them "Your time to show up is between
8:00-9:30 a.m. on that date.  If you get there after x number of requests,
your time is 9:30 -11:00 a.m. etc.  However, this is hindsight.  Maybe if
there is another "giveaway", the Parish will look into such a setup.
