- The $200,000 honorarium was the largest the Long Beach, California, organization had ever paid a public figure for an appearance - Normally, speakers donate much of that money back to the small, non-profit that has an annual operating budget of just $3 million - Former secretary of state redirected her check to the Clinton Foundation - which spends $8.1 million a year on travel alone - In 2007, when Bill Clinton headlined the event, he charged the group $150,000 and kept the money for himself
Hillary Clinton reportedly charged a Boys and Girls Club chapter $200,000 for an appearance, then left the premise without saying hello to children who benefit from the program.
The massive fee, which she donated back to her family foundation, was the largest the Long Beach, California, organization had ever paid a public figure for a speech, Politico reports.
By contrast, the club made $106,000 off the lunchtime, charity event - its lowest yield in 25 years. A contributing factor to the diminished proceeds: Clinton's large entourage. It reportedly took up seats that would have otherwise been sold to donors.

Someone must be laundering money through this 'Charity'
My question is not about Hillary. My questions are for the Boys and Girls Club,
first where do they get that kind of money (how wise is it to spend on the Hillary speech); and (2) who benefited from said Hillary speech, any boy or girl or trans-whatever remembered the speech?
Hillary should be ashamed of herself.
They probably filled the seats with staffers because they couldn’t get enough people to pay to see Granny Bloodclot drone on for 20 minutes
Is this the charity that O’Reality is now pushing on his show?
My grandparents who were big supporters of the Boys and Girl Club would be rolling in their graves.
They were fools to pay it.
They were fools to pay it.
The joke is on the taxpayers. People donate to these organizations and then the organizations donate to the clinton crime family foundation. Individuals get a tax deduction, for the organization it is a wash deal. Then the foundation spends funds on the clinton crime family...travel to “raise funds”, executive fees, like Chesie making 500K to be a director and the rest of the clinton political organization working there allegedly for the foundation while pushing their political campaigns. So, the initial donations are deductable where in if the same donations were made to their campaigns funds, they would not be and they would have to be disclosed. A legal money laundering operation start to finish.
What's the surprise? We already knew that Hillary! doesn't like kids.
Any large fee given to them was probably money “donated” in order to launder it for the Hildebitchs’ campaign or her personal stash.
They were knowingly involved and supportive of the bitch and her party if they agreed to pay.
Another thing is -
Why did the Boys and Girls Club feel the NEED of ‘pay to play’ with the Clintons, what did they get in return?
“They were fools to pay it.”
Actually, I think those who signed off may be liable for criminal charges against them.
After all, they were a charity and marked these costs as ‘tax deductible’
Very good questions.
Will we ever get the answers? Or will they pull a Lois Lerner on us?
However, it SEEMS to me, not only they indoctrinate children in school, children can't escape from further indoctrination with the after school activities.
UNLESS in this specific Boys and Girls Club case, it is for the benefits of their staffers, not for the Boys and Girls. Thus the purpose of B&G Club (and people who donated money and time to it) is diminished.
Good questions.
For what reason did the club find it necessary to pay off Hillery? The club either expects to get something if she is elected, or this is a preemptive bribe to prevent getting screwed in some way after her (presumed) election.
Either way, IMO all financial supporters of this organization should seriously reconsider.
Do all of you realize that Hillary’s presidential campaign is like a big lottery win for all of us? Over the next year we will get to hear several million dollars worth of Hillary Clinton speeches for free!
We don’t even have to pay for her private jets, entourage and contract riders!
Whoever is running this local Boy & Girls club should be fired. The whole board should be fired. I know two people on the board of my local Boys & Girls club. I do not think something like this would have ever happened at the organization in my area.
Back when I was playing pool and learning baseball there, it was the Boys Club.
They can take this pc crap and....
LOL, Some numskull in the boys & girls club trying to make a name for themself. It figures. It’s not their personal money, so SPEND IT.
