Kevin you live half way there!!!

First I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to Jim for hosting these popular
events. In the past some of these have been supported by donations from
individual members and sometimes with donations from the registry itself.

The board has debated this matter at length and made the decision not to
provide financial assistance to any vendor-organized events going forward.
We do send Jim all our best wishes and hope the event continues to be a
success into the future.

The decision seems self-defeating to me. Let's take a debate to the members-only section.

I feel the same way Glenn.Take it to the members-only section.
We are supposed to support our vendor's , that is the club that I have been involved with all along. The trouble with the board is every little thing get's debated in extreme length.

We do support our venders we buy parts from them they repair/upgrade our cars etc.

Why would my membership fees go to pay for advertising ones business.
I don't care if it's Marc H. JVD,SGC,DRM or Lingenfelter.
If any one of them wanna have a BBQ they can pay for it themselfs not with my fees.

We have a few members with businesses here in Chicago area that we have events send them some checks.

The club is not a walfare.

If a dime goes to any business please refund my membership then the club can walfare whoever they want.

Mr JVD please stop dissing and bringing up about the club no paying for your business i'm getting tired of you trying to get new and naive members on your side to squeeze money from the club.
For the new members this has been the rule for years nothing new.

Please stop dissing the club you are not a member of.
Be thankful the club lets you post while dissing and trying to squeeze money from the club.

I don't see Marc H, SGC, Corey on here trying to squeeze money from the club,they all have BBQ's every year and charge $0 per person.

Life is simple
You don't like the club don't post in it.

Can give folks the wrong impression of a poster.

I assume posting under the influence (of something) is involved with this post, as it is rife with mispellings, repeated points, and is unnecessarily critical of another poster. The time stamp was also 4:01 am.

I didn't see JVD's post as dissing the club or trying to squeeze money out of anyone. It simply posted a simple fact, that the club leadership voted to end funding of his bbq.

This is disappointing.

I stay at the Continental Inn across from the NCM, not super nice but I don't plan to be in the room much at all. Its clean and not half as much per night as the Holiday Inn. Downside is you have to drive back from the Holiday Inn after hanging out for the night and that can sometimes not be so good... Also the hotel has plenty of trailer parking. Plus side is it is 5 minutes from the NCM and 1 minute from JVD's.
