mr buckholtz, read between the lines before you call mr.steers a whiner:

The golf tourny money didn’t go where he thought. His direct donation did

Mr Buckholtz,
No fund raiser has been done specifically for the Lacara family. The well intentioned golf tournament was for, as my very good friend Trish Sweeney stated, toward the Schnell School. I mandated that the monies my family contributed go directly to the family. With that said, I think Eldorado County as a community needs to do something. So I’m going to tell you Richard, for every dollar you donate for this cause. I pledge to double it. Give me a call. I’m easy to find. And may you and yours have a Very Merry Christmas

What is Mr Steers’ problem? He writes a letter saying the money did not go to the family, then in the comments acknowledges that it did. Some people just like to whine.

Trish, I know that the money I donated was directed toward the Lacara family. We need to do something directly for them! I’ll see you at the Christmas shopping spree for the kids.

Mr. Steers
As for the golf tournament that you are talking about half of the money raised with directly to Mrs. LaCara and the other half went to schnell school to help continue Sam’s work at the school. Sam was always buying children new shoes, paying for student lunch’s etc. That is where the first year golf tournament funds went.
