There has been quite a bit of talk about HLA's "charitable" donations. Let's set the record straight on a few facts, as reported by staff.
United Way:
Len requires that ALL employees donate to this charity. If an employee declined to contribute, they were pressured by their supervisor in an attempt to bully them into contributing. If this failed, Len would require that the supervisor donate money in each employee's name under his chain of command to reflect 100% participation.
Employees were also required to buy tickets to the "Gold Party" and were required to work the event.
How about the abuse shelter?
Well, Len asked the chairperson at the shelter to publicly support him in the Mountain Brook project. When she declined, Len quit the board and ordered all employees to cease donating time or funds to this charity.
How about the Rainbow Children's Home?
The director disapproves of Len's homosexual lifestyle, so HLA donations were withheld.
EVERYTHING HLA does is quid pro quo. Nothing is done out of "charity" or "good will."
I hope this sheds some light on HLA and Len's "altruism."
