Regarding the article, "Two heads are better than one" (April 10), on Becky Dolinger and Chris Roe's leadership of the Greensboro Christian Women's Club: I admire their battles with MS and their willingness to become community leaders, and I believe that their hearts are in the right places. However, I feel that their efforts are extremely limited by their elitist mind-set. The photo that accompanied the story shows them both wearing lots of expensive jewelry; they charge over $13 for a brunch, and they hold their meetings at a country club.
This will not spread the word of God or change people's lives. If they, and others like them, truly want to do those things and leave the world a better place, they must reach out to those in need. They can begin by volunteering at animal shelters, feeding the hungry, or cleaning up area parks and streams.
Remember, Jesus said, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24). And trust me, the feeling one gets after activity working in the community will be a thousand times better than anything an overpriced brunch can give.

It is really amazing what one can divine from looking at a photograph.
Please tell how that works. How do you know that the ladies in the photos don't give a large percentage of their or their families income to a church or charitable organization? How do you know that they don't work in a soup kitchen preparing food for the so called "homeless". How do you know that one or more of them aren't Ministers?
