I thought about this when I read it, but Mayor Brown puts it most succinctly:

And the irony that this luncheon was held in Glenmore – an affluent, gated community – must have been obvious to everyone present.

From the DP:

“Lots of poor kids are smart and need enrichment opportunities,” Ralston told the chamber’s annual Community Government Luncheon at Glenmore Country Club. Parents living in poverty “want the best for their kids but they don’t have the resources and they don’t have the opportunities,” she said.

WINA and WCAV report as well. Hat tip to Waldo.

Might as well lead from the top.
