LYNN'S blog is abuzz with talk of PL today, and one commenter posted a link to a recent newspaper article, (August 2010), that boasts donations of TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.http://www.northjersey.com/news/business/business_news/Cut-a-thon_to_benefit_Project_Ladybug_charity.html

Since last year, Project Ladybug has donated $20,000 to pediatric cancer patients.That's nice. But in July, I wrote a post about just how much PL has raised this year, there is a link below, but I neglected to post a screen-shot of the current Saint Joseph's Hospital web-page, where the headline says that TWO-HUNDRED THOUSANDhttp://stjosephshealth.org/index.php/200000-raised-for-the-project-ladybug-fund-at-sjch was raised, yet in the body of the story, it appears a zero, was, and still is, missing. Also, by doing the math on ticket costs & attendance at PL'S major fund-raiser, I would have to say that more than a hundred grand was collected. Here's the screen-shot:

Yeah, I put a lot of question marks there because I don't even know where to begin with that one.
The major fund-raiser for PROJECT LADYBUG, NIGHTS IN MOROCCO as stated in the above document, sold over a thousand tickets. HERE'S a link to the page that contain the invitation and information about that event. Copied here is a screen-shot of the costs for tickets, and ad-sales from that page:
I am not trying to "hurt people with cancer"!-As other investigators have been accused-of, (Geossomething'smom on Twitter). I'm curious about this. I've been thinking about TERESA & DINA, and how they had big dreams, and small wallets, and how they just may have lucked-out. The latest rumor for TERESA, is that she is getting her own spin-off, and working & negotiating her heart out to put a dent in her debt problems. DINA has associated PL with none other than, THE BLESSED MOTHER. A pretty powerful patron, and I'd rather mess-with the MOB, than piss-off a SAINT! So you never know, the story of both of their financial difficulties could be the the story of the JERSEY GIRL method of making money.
