Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital and Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin share board chair, who “makes nonprofits profitable”

From Pro-Life Wisconsin:
On Sunday, February 12 the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel profiled a woman named Linda Mellowes, who is known in the Milwaukee area for her fundraising/non-profit abilities.

Mellowes helps to make area’s nonprofits profitable

Mellowes, 71, is one of the more important leaders in Milwaukee’s nonprofit community, a person who brings together organizations, causes and people.

“I like to connect the dots,” she says.

During her career, she has chaired seven nonprofit boards, including the United Way, Greater Milwaukee Foundation, Columbia St. Mary’s and the Medical College of Wisconsin…

When the Mellowes moved to Milwaukee in 1970, she continued to seek out volunteer opportunities. To learn her way around a new area, she became a docent at the Milwaukee County Historical Society.

She also got involved in volunteering at the University School of Milwaukee (eventually, she became chair of the board). She began an association with United Way, going door to door in Shorewood to solicit donations.

And she also volunteered at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (yet another board she would chair).

Speaking of connecting the dots:

- United Way of Greater Milwaukee partners with and solicits donations for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin;

- The Medical College of Wisconsin is now training ob/gyn medical students in abortion procedures and uses aborted fetal body parts for research;

- Columbia St. Mary’s, along with other Catholic hospitals in the state, has been receiving state and federal taxpayer funds for dispensing abortifacient contraception and performing tubal ligations since at least 2007.

What’s in common here? Big Abortion = Big Business = Big Profits for Nonprofits.
