Meatloaf Trumps Lobster, Charities Cancel Galas in Lean Times - Bloomberg.com: "March 31 (Bloomberg) -- The Simon Wiesenthal Center raised $1.4 million at last year’s spring gala, honoring actress Whoopi Goldberg at Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel. This year, there’ll be no Whoopi, no red carpet -- no gala.
“A gala wouldn’t be money well spent because most of our major donors don’t come,” said Rhonda Barad, the center’s eastern-division director. “People are going to fewer and fewer events.”"
