There's a new online auction to benefit the Joseph M. Smith Community Health Center.JMSCHC provides high-quality, comprehensive, culturally-competent and affordable primary health care and selected specialty services to families and individuals in Allston, Brighton, Waltham and surrounding communities.

I apologize if others have made this point in the past. But reading about these on-line auctions for equipment for community health centers is making me think of that classic saying "It will be a great day when the schools have all the money they need and the military has to hold a bake sale."
