It was a win-win when Brownie Troop #1905 from Rye Brook took a recent field trip to Kohl's where they shopped for items to be donated to Kid’s Kloset, a program of Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS) that provides clothing free of charge to local children in need. According to their Troop Leaders, the young “fashionistas” had a blast selecting the outfits to be donated. More importantly, the girls felt good about the shopping spree knowing they were helping those in need. Each Brownie earned her Money Manager Badge by learning to work within a budget, stretch a dollar and increase purchasing power. “What these girls did proves you are never too young to learn the value of helping others as well as the value of a dollar,” said Stephanie Roth, WJCS Kid’s Kloset Director. “Kid’s Kloset will distribute the items the Brownies donated to local children whose families live below the federal poverty level.” During the past year, WJCS Kid’s Kloset has provided clothing and essentials to more than 2,000 local children in need.

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to a…Read More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me.
This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
