UPTOWN — Gene McNeil Whiner has joined the board of her 1,000th non-profit, shattering the previous record of Shedonates Heritime, set in 1933\. Her involvement in “Cause and Effect,” a nonprofit that effects changes in the community is yet another start-up group of liberal, like-minded thinkers.

Industry insiders compare this record to the 2003 Barry Bonds shattering of Mark Maguire’s home run record. “I have been training for this my entire life,” says McNeil- Whiner. When asked by reporters if she used steroids to achieve this monumental feat, Whiner abrubtly stated, “no comment.” An awards banquet will be held in her honor, yielding yet another rubber chicken dinner with the ususal suspects.
