Dear Bhaagavatas:
Please do not miss reading the enclosed message included in 
http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/arlington.html
============================================================================

This seems to be another technique by con artists to beguile the gullible and 
credulous folks by playing upon their humanitarian sentiments and emotions to 
help a worthy cause. 

We published the appeal all in good faith.

The same holds good for the much too numerous appeals for funds for this, that 
and the other so called ?kainkaryams? flashed on the Internet day in and day 
out, playing on the religious susceptibilities of Bhaagavatas. 

Reports of misuse of such funds have surfaced. We would like to caution our 
members before committing themselves to any ?donations? for these. 

This is the reason why we wrote in our ?Guidelines to Contributors?:

APPEALS FOR FUNDS:
? Complaints have been received regarding irregularities in the utilzation of 
funds collected in the name of worthy projects.

Therefore, Appeals for funds for various kainkaryams may be posted ONLY AFTER 
MAKING SURE of the genuineness of the prime movers / administrators and after 
providing an assurance of personal responsibility for having done 
this.

Before posting any such appeals, it may be ensured that proper arrangements 
exist for -
(i) Officially acknowledging receipt of contributions
(ii) Utilization of the funds fully and precisely for the purposes for which 
they are proposed to be mobilized through these appeals and
(iii) Adequate audit and accounting to the entire satisfaction of the donors.

Otherwise, we will be seen as encouraging indiscriminate fund-raising appeals 
and also become liable for any potential legal action later on, given the 
conduct of numerous trusts that have mushroomed and disappeared 
with the collections. 

Therefore, in the absence of the above precautions being specifically 
incorporated, we will be compelled to reject such appeals?
