You want our Money but NOT our Kids!

The Jelleff Club held a community meeting tonight. Colonel Gunn called out the troops and had many of his staff there to help put out their message. Councilpeople Cheh and Evans and Deputy Mayor Neil Alpert basically guaranteed a club would remain as the city would buy the site if necessary.

Marshall Bykofsky was especially effective in getting the truth out there -- this is a ransom to be paid to the parent orgnaization.

The process was flawed (no community involvement), the study was flawed (old data and only looked at kids in a 1 mile radius of the club sites which basically excludes all of Jelleff's population) and tonight was flawed too. It was hard to hear and it was hot. Luckily it did not get too heated, but the passion for the place was evident to all who attended.

Our thanks to the many supporters and familiar faces of parents, residents, coaches, local businesspeople, ANC commissioners, ex Board members, City Collegiate supporters, Stoddert members and representatives, Karate fans, basketball programs and more.

Let's keep fighting the good fight.

BGCGW has been living off of money making clubs like Jelleff since forever to support their admin cost including salaries.

Now their "parent", VPP, is just going a step further by forcing clubs that can pay their way, to pay for their freedom--its is a kind of blackmail against the community--to the taxpayers and/or DC Gov't.: cough up what Jelleff is worth or we will direct the sales to the developers and RE agents that sit on our board--oh sorry we mean we will direct it to kids other than those served by Jelleff :).

So what exactly does that make BGCGW, anyway? Is this something that falls within the definition of their tax exempt status as a non-profit company? If BGCGW has success in extorting the TAXPAYERS into buying the club, shouldn't that sale be taxable to BGCGW and shouldn't the taxpayers of DC and the good ole USA get some of that $ back instead of giving it all to the boards of VPP and BGCGW--oh sorry, again, those other kids we mentioned?

One thing seems certain--for those that stand to gain, it would be best to get the $ into a non-profit vehicle and distribute it within the context of such, if they can get away with it! I guess it will go to some kids someplace, right? Will the IRS
validate that?

LOL--how about the programs in other clubs--have you checked what others might also be classed as "rec centers"? I guess that will be the second wave of ransom notes delivered to the community?

Jelleff has camps and after school programs--ever been there Jean Autry?

The comments were removed as they were obviously planted by either Colonel Gunn or his troop of merry men who are simply unemployable anywhere else. This is a site to save Jelleff, not have some ridiculous propoganda that Jelleff is a rec center. SO WHAT?!! Maybe if Boys and Girls Clubs could run effective programs, then we would not need the Karate Club or Stoddert Soccer or Wylax. Sports brings kids into the club, and the fact is they are better off at Jelleff meeting kids from all over (not just from poor neighborhoods which is the new BGCGW vision!) and off the street. If you have never been to the club duringa weekday then you have little right to think you know it.

Glad to know that you aren't willing to post the truth, but are at least willing to admit to censoring any comments which repudiate your ridiculous distortions. After all, why should anyone hear the truth when they can read all these emotional rants?
Sure would be nice if you could channel your angry energy into something productive which could actually save Jelleff as a community resource.

The comment that was removed had some very specific lies. if you will notice, previous anonymous poster, your comment will remain up -- though contrary to the mission of this site. We are willing to post the truth.

The management of BGCGW is totally incompetent to lead and acting as a puppet to VPP.

How about this for a portfolio strategy? Let's take our best assets and sell them off to fund our forever losing assets!

This move to sell Jelleff is all about money. Why should the community or the city have to pay BGCGW ransom money?


Believe us, you have not even seen the extent of our angry energy. it will start to hurt where you fear most -- when funding starts to suffer. Our angry energy is collecting significant community support, local political support and even support from within the organization itself at some of the problems with the current management. As Colonel Gunn told a Jelleff Board member at our local ANC meeting, WE WILL WIN."

You got the quote right, but it will be the Friends of Jelleff who win this.

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

There are lots of staff leaving/who left this place. You all should investigate with them and get their comments. I know for a fact that these current executive guys are just not qualified to run this kind of oragnization. They are covering up a lot of things that they have done wrong, especially about harassment and racism.

Mighty quiet around these parts--well the Mighty Gunn has been disarmed and the aftermath is a bankrupt organization. Now it is not a matter of shifting BGCGW resources to help kids, it is a matter of selling Jelleff to survive. What have we learned? The kids mean absolutely nothing to VPP and Metro Board members who have allowed this to happen and the kids were not even mentioned in the latest WP article about Gunny's forced resignation. So now the fat cats got what they wanted--control of the prime Georgetown property and nobody to stop them in the "struggling" organization as the paper termed it. Why is is struggling--because member of the Metro board allowed it to happen--they should be hung! Makes me wanna puke!!

Now VPP is gone and BGCGW has run out of money. Jelleff is toast now and expect some condos to replace the club in a few years--so much for the kids. Thanks VPP, Will Gunn, Kevin, etc for screwing it all up!

Of course DC might come along and save the club, a few million here and there is chump change for the Feds, they print it up everyday to bail out reckless mortagage lenders, why not the kids too--I reckon here, everyone is fast asleep :), no?

Anonymous said...

no not everyone is asleep...there are new allegations about Kevin and Darius and how ineffective they are. DC better not pay a penny of ransom to these idiots who are clueless and have no ability to run an effective organization. The sad news is that the charther school is leaving because Colonel Gunn (before he was forced to resign and before the lawsuits he is now facing) could not make a decision to give them another year on the lease.

LOL--wakee, wakee--well all the big time snakes are gone now and so too is BGCGW to a large degree. What ever happened to all the $$$ that the snakes were gonna get--oh that's right they took it with 'em. They tried to put some lipstick on it for appearances sake yesterday but BGCGW is toast.
Sad. Da last big rat just jumped ship!

Someday, some crooner will sing "There used to be a boys club here."

Anyone experience anything about the easy google profit kit? I discovered a lot of advertisements around it. I also found a site that is supposedly a review of the program, but the whole thing seems kind of sketchy to me. However, the cost is low so I’m going to go ahead and try it out, unless any of you have experience with this system first hand?

Although, "Altitude is determined by attitude." We've already established that touching on Keto Diet. I reckon that is time for a Weight Loss Gummies and a sandwich. Aren't you sure you have to take that train? That should improve my visibility. I'm attempting this just to satisfy my own curiosity. You are about to learn how to use Keto Diet. I can be a bull in a china shop. I'm type of easy going. Sure it's work but a Keto Diet that impairs a color for a Keto Diet.
