EXCLUSIVE: Cowardly Red Cross Pulls Out of Mar-a-Lago
Free Republic ^ | Friday, August 18, 2017 | AABEST

Posted on 08/18/2017 12:51:15 PM PDT by AAABEST

After being held at Mar-a-Lago for 60 years, and Donald J. Trump being gracious to in hosting them for the better part of those years the Red Cross has decided to move this year's ball to another venue.

My wife and I (who have met the president there) got the email a little while ago, which read in part:

We originally decided to keep the International Ball at Mar-a-Lago because it was the lower-cost venue in the area, and because we have held numerous successful fundraisers there over the past 60 years. However, our decision to hold the event at Mar-a-Lago has increasingly become a point of public controversy and a source of pain for many members of our Red Cross community. As such, we have decided to cancel the event next year at Mar-a-Lago

By the way, not only has Trump belonged to the Red Cross and hosted them all these years, but the President of the United States is the HONORARY CHAIRMAN of the organization.

Oh screw them! They pay their administration so much it’s ridiculous. I hope the door does hit them on the way out of Mar-A-Lago.

Red Cross can shove it.

Good luck getting money from me any more.

Yeah, I’ve given in the past.

Now? Nada.

The Red Cross is corrupt and ineffective. They have screwed up instead of helping every where they “respond” to a disaster. The latest example was NJ where they rolled up, raised money and then didnt distribut or help anyone and that is not an isolated event.

My wife and I (who have met the president there) got the email a little while ago, which read in part:

"Please refrain from stalking us.
If you continue to send images like the last three, we will contact the authorities."

I hope you never gave a dime to the American Red Cross in the first place. They are as crooked as they come. Did you know that during World War II the tobacco companies gave free cigarettes to the American Red Cross to be given to the troops for free. American Red Cross sold the cigarettes to the GI’s instead of giving them out for free. American Red Cross pulled a lot of crooked stuff in my home area after a fire. Local donations intended for the fire victims was spent on expensive office furniture and a new phone system at their offices.

The President of the Red Cross (Gail McGovern) makes $500,000 a year and they brag that she hasn't had a raise since joining in 2008.I'm sure she caved to protect her salary and easy lifestyle rather than for the public controversy and a source of pain for many members of our Red Cross community.

I stopped giving to the Red Cross years ago and will double down now on not giving to the Red Cross.....

Maybe the Red Cross should merge with the Clinton Foundation. It’s a perfect match made in heaven, or elsewhere.

The effing Red Cross hates the President of the United States!!!!!!!

I bet they would be happy to host it in Che Guevara, Woody Allen, or Idi Amin’s mansion!

No surprise at all from Red Cross.
Many don’t know about the crap they pull.

Red Cross has been evil since 9/11. The prez of Red Cross gets 500k a year. Where did those donations go towards 9/11 victims? O’Reilly was all over that.
