I don't quite know what to make of this paragraph from an article in the Denver Post. It seems that a large chunk of the money that was donated to a charity to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, is instead being used to fund a "welcome to Denver" bash for the DNC delegates.

Friends of New Orleans, a charity formed to help that city recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, is paying for the party, and for a concert with New Orleans-style food at the Fillmore Auditorium afterward for the 6,000 delegates and their guests on Aug. 24, the Sunday before the convention opens.
