Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.

I read today in the Cape Cod Times that various Cape organizations are donating money to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. This bit caught my eye,

The Catania Hospitality Group, owners of the Dan'l Webster Inn and Hearth 'n Kettle Restaurants, plans to host a fundraiser on Tuesday. The Catania Group will donate 10 percent of every guest's dining check to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund.

For those of you not up on Cape businesses, Catania Hospitality Group includes Daniel Webster Inn, Hearth'nKettle and theCape Codder Resort and Spa.

Every little bit helps, but 10% from what is being presented as a "fundraiser"? What a laugh. Don't participate in their bogus PR effort. Write a check directly to an appropriate charity instead.
