Car shows- Something does not make sense

Still, I don't see anything wrong with what he said.

Car shows fund clubs. Clubs promote the hobby. Shows are not easy work and cost money. At every meeting we did a 50/50 and raffle. The prizes were usually stupid, but the money went to charity. Every function resulted in some form of charity. Just because he didn't provide the full operational methods of his club, you jumped on him. Bad form all the way around.
Thanks. Steve From Staten Island was just being exactly who he always is.

I'll repeat:
Car shows cost money to run. Our club does not carry a large balance of money. Monthly meetings have to be held somewhere. Do you want 30-40 people at your house for a meeting? We hold our meetings at an auto museum for $50 a month. We do give some money to charities but I'll make no apologies or excuses for how we spend the money. We don't force anyone to enter their car in our show.
It is impossible to charge spectators at our shows because there is no fencing around the venue. People just wander in from parking lots, sidewalks, anywhere, really.
How about the shows that charge spectators AND show car people? How come Steve From Staten Island isn't complaining about that ? Carlisle? Ohio Nationals? MCACN ?
Steve From Staten Island complains because I am one of the many that he has met that will not tolerate his actions.
