Auntie Charo's Soapbox

I was literally embarrassed for those two women who are board members of GPSS. It was the first time they sat face to face with poor Mr.(don't remember his first name) Maestri....Poor dude, he was only sent to Guam so that he could oversee how Uncle Sam's money is being spent!!!
First of all.....if one belongs to a board of directors.....ain't no need to take anything personally.....unless of course the letters pick you out and tell how you're mismanaging Uncle Sams moolah.....that I'm cure comes with a long list of 'okay to do', and 'do not do'..........yet when we get this money, we think of it as if it were a Bingo winning and we spent it helter skelter.....instead of being very careful to follow the letter of the law, we use the funds for whimsical reasons...we don't even bother to get the reports of spending to the agency on time......but???We're not too embarrassed to chastise Mr. Maestri. We don't go out of out way and ask how best we could report and USE these precious funds....these days, we only have enough money for travelling......and that doesn't include per diem!
Anyway, Mr. Maestri, there are many of us that don't hate you and we're not offended when you choose to see where the money goes. Perhaps it's time that we that work at GPSS ran the school as if the lives of our children depended on it.
I truly hope that you recognize that we're not all like those two who turned ugly today. A lot of us are glad that someone's overseeing the use of U.S. funds before they stop sharing it with us.
I hope you have a very enjoyable stay on Guam and that you get to meet those that appreciate all that you do for our children.
