I'm posing a question for all of you that are in or are associated with car clubs. Do you think car clubs should concern themselves with parades and random fundraiser? In my head car clubs are about Car Shows, Racing, Cruising and hanging out BS'ing about parts, news or anything to pass the time. Also, lets assume the club isn't exactly known for it's organization skills and good track record for planned events. IMO, sometimes, having a fundraiser for Toys for tots or ACA (Or some other normal charity) isn't a problem so long as it's not the clubs main focus for the year AND AND AND the club has all it's other ducks in a row first.

Hey everyone, my aunt Rita's nephew's little neighbors house has a leaky roof, (Insert major disaster or sickness here.) lets spend our club resources to have a break even (Or in the red) fundraiser for a cause that doesn't/shouldn't have anything to do with a car club.

(If any you other slackers are in my car club, know this is a general question and not a public gripe.)

I'm in a Mustang Club and we usually do at least one fund raiser show. it may not be an "official" event but we can show up 20 trong on most any weekend in the season. Not me necessarily, but the club as a whole. There's close to 300 members if i recall, so we are a large local club.

Hell, one of the members of the club holding a charity event every year at New England Dragway. This years there's a large drag race challenge for several charities. There's about 8 teams of 4 people each. Each team is racing for it's own charity. Also featureas a car show with trophies and BBQ.


Also, some of us club members are restoring an 88GT for a local fallen soldier.

We are taking donations and selling t-shirts and decals. Take a look at the site. here's the link to all the pics.

Seriously though, we don't really put all our eggs in one basket like that though I'd be kinda pissed too I think. What kind of car club is it? All cars, or Stangs or Fords only?
