I think charities start at home; Mr. Mahanta and Mr. Nath should not discredit all charitable organizations in one stroke of a pen. I guess they took the term "Charities" in a limited context. I also failed to explicitly spell it out; it can be anything--educational institution, social

Mostof the AANA conventions before Orlando had deficit and the deficit was due to the fact that the convention registration fee was kept low in order toencourage more participation from the community. At the end of the convention, always some generous AANA members would be found who would donate
