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.

If you do a search you will find Mr JVD brings this matter up a few times,implying that the club is not paying/supporting his BBQ.

The club is supporting him by letting him post on the registry if he
couldn't post here he wouldn't be having any BQB.

He needs to make a big boy decision, do it or don't, simple.

Since your a new member club never paid for business BBQ's/events.
If the club paid before it was a mistake till it was brought to their attention.

For those that are so disapointed open your check books and send Mr JVD some money.

I don't see how paying a business to have BBq's with member fees makes sense to anyone.

I like Corey, Marc and Lingenfelter should we also send checks to them, come on really.

A little common sense here boys.

Where am i critical to another member maybe opinionated but not critical.

How's my spelling :-)

Pete. (Hiccup) There's still hope!

FYI- Yes, I am a member of the current club and another one long ago. You might say I've been around since the beginning of the ZR-1 hobby. I have a LONG history of organizing events for the enjoyment of everyone who participates. As a result of those events, we have also donated generous amounts of money to various groups including the ZR-1 Registry and the NCM as well. The fact is, I've never gained any revenue from any events. But I don't really need to justify anything I do or have done to you now do I? You will forget it in the morning anyway....

We actually never accepted anything from the Registry club until 2010 when Jerry Downey and Jim Voter asked if they could contribute and let the BBQ become part of the Registry's official events. They said that they had received so many positive comments regarding the BBQ, they wanted to become an official part of it. We had also lost our donated rental chairs and equipment that year so we agreed to "work together". We received a check for $300, about the cost of the chairs and tables alone. That year we served well over 200 and raised enough funds to make some very worthy troops in a very bad place a little more comfortable.

Ryan,
Maybe we should switch to near beer for "Pete's Sake!" (hiccup)

In any case, the main reason we are asking for registrations is so we can keep track of the free-loaders who make it a practice to crash the party, eat seconds, drink 'til their hearts content, then leave without so much as a thank you. It's not fair to all of you who play by the rules.

We have a terrific menu. 3/4in thick marinated ribeye or seasoned chicken breast, homemade potato salad, homemade BBQ beans, Baked potatoes , peppers and onions, rolls, etc. Bring your favorite beverage or enjoy water and sodas on ice. Rumor had it there would once again be some funny looking aluminum cylinders sitting in ice at the rear of the shop....

We will have a fun time whether there are 50 or 150, it really doesn't matter.

Oh and uh Pete? I hope you change your mind and attend. I'd love to meet you! I'll even reserve a steak with your name on it....or are you a chicken kinda guy?

Life really IS simple, isn't it?
