    I can’t believe that I went on the information published on this site, to the location you stated for today’s Give-Away and was welcomed by a person stating that you Not only changed the location of the Give-Away, but also the time, and that all items as of 7:30a.m. November 15th, 2011 were all gone. I stated, “why were they gone when they started the Give-Away at 9”, and she laughed and said, “I don’t know”. She then stated emails were sent out and those “Special people” got the items. If you are going to Publicize on Channel 3 Time Warner, and any where else including this site, you need to be fair to the Public, and state the Proper information. I am very disappointed that you decided who can receive the Free Give-Away items. I wonder is that how you conduct your business???? Fair is Fair.

          Now it was on Channel 3 News last night that the UAV will NO LONGER have any more Give-Aways. They have cancelled all of them. Maybe it’s because they really were so unprofessional about the second Give-Away….hmmmmm.

    It sounds like JUNK to me, didn’t didn’t these characters get tons of money from the City for their CHEAP SCHOOL? why can they just throw away thier trash like everyone else, why a press conference? They are giving away the nasty old funiture from the hotel or motel they grabed for themselves with City’s funds.
