STATEMENT

Regarding Adopt A Family and MRR23 SCFBA, CFSC, CFF-B

10/25/07

It has come to our attention that MRR23 a former member and Club Vice President is claiming "ownership" in our past Adopt A Family Fundraisers. Since MRR23 can't tell the truth, we are presenting it here. If he can't tell the truth about the involvement in a charity fundraiser and has to defame and belittle other people to hold himself up on some pedestal, who can trust him to actually fund and distribute any monies to any needy family?

Truth > Fiction

Lies underlined in Yellow

Below is a PM sent by MRR23 on CFF-B to a friend of mine who subsequently got banned for questioning his involvement.

so, you do not want to present yourself? don't be afraid.

i don't know jeremy personally. i know people that i hardly see by their message board name.

don't know of any "plans" for this "other" group you are referring to.

all groups are welcome to our events. it's up to those groups as to whether, or not, they want to attend. the statewide gathering was put on about 20 message boards. most by me and a few from others spreading the word. LS1GTO, LS2, LS1, LS1tech, LXforums, corvette forums, corvette florida, FLCFA, OUTLAWS SCFBAONLINE (a south carolina board)and so on.

thank you for your contribution to the 2004 Adopt-A-Family. as for your "understanding and knowledge of the inner workings" it needs to be re-evaluated. take a look at the 2004 pictures.
there were only two members from F3GO. myself and dallas. pictures were taken with my camera, as were the previous years. the owner/president of F3GO didn't take time to come to the largest cermemony ever presented. as you can see in the pictures, i was always the speaker. was always chosen to be by the owner/president. every major event, the owner/president chose me to MC the events. don't know why. as the owner/president, he should have taken the honor and priviledge to d oso.

one day, we'll meet again. then, i can find out what "type" i am. i am still here, will stay here, and always be out in public with clubs that do things instead of being an internet club/organization.

again, i appreciate you supporting our events and look forward to seeing you at other events.

feel free, once again, to donate to the "original" Adopt-A-Family. the one that helps individual families and not organizations. It makes a bigger difference, when you do.

Sasha and Krysta Bound

As taken from the page that MRR23 claims he was donating back to himself....

Broken Down

On the day in question where MRR23 claims only himself and Dallas were at the Adopt A Family Fundraiser. The day started like any other day with meeting Robert at Old Town on 192 and the families that his wife selected. Only truth in his entire fantasy world. Robert and his daughter Danielle were riding the rides with the other families children. Myself I contacted Dallas who at the time was working at Olive Garden on 192 in Kissimmee. Dallas couldn't make it as he was late to work already and I asked well maybe we should bring the festivities to you. We ended up having the 2 families Sasha and Cindy Cano the bailbondswoman meet us at Olive Garden.

When the families met up at Olive Garden we sat in the corner table so as to accommodate all the people and children that were there. Dallas the only other person there according to Robert was our waiter for dinner. The pictures that Robert claims were taken by him and yet then again donated back to himself were taken by none other than the owner of F3GO. But according to Robert I wasn't there. He's right he was chosen as the "Speaker" or "MC" at events simply because he had a loud mouth and was considered to be a person better suited to his role. That was it, it was merely a role that he was as Vice President well compensated for by the Corporation and Organization. The Previous years namely the 1st one perhaps Robert can explain how most of the pictures that are on the page that by the way contains a time stamp of when it was generated along with the pictures. Maybe he can explain how most of the pictures that appear on the original 1st and 2nd and 3rd Adopt A Family page were taken from the position that I was standing in or sitting in for that matter? Yet MRR23 claims ownership in pictures that he didn't even take.

MRR23 has not been involved in F3GO business or activities since HE left in May of 2005 over the statewide debacle. Ever since then he has been hell bent on tarnishing and defaming the owner and the organization that he once represented. Even going so far as registering similar domain names fla-thirdgen.org and utilizing that domain for Charles Terrell club SCFBA Southern Camaro and Firebird Association. Too cheap obviously to continue or pay for scfba.net which he lost due to not paying the domain fee. According to Charlie they were expanding the clique and trying to distance themselves from the prior drama and troubles associated with the break up of SCFBA and the subsequent organization FLCFA starting up. Real nice way of distancing yourself from the trouble!! Start with being real or isn't that the reason the SCFBA splintered during the whole Fred  drama that had them relegated to an area outside the area that F3GO was having the Statewide Meet at? It was at Fred's request that the groups be separated.

Organization and Corporate Issues

MRR23 claims that donating to organizations and companies like Make a Wish foundation, Domestic Violence Shelters and the United Way  do not help families in need. Perhaps MRR23 doesn't donate to such organizations because he has a problem with those type organizations who have a paper trail they follow and accounting principles to follow. Much like this Corporation as a non profit provided a breakdown of the people and companies that donate each year. It's called fiscal and corporate responsibility, a term MRR23 neither understands nor cares to. We are sorry that he donated to Organizations like that in the past, perhaps he needs to tell his sponsors that as Corporations they shouldn't donate to other corporations or help other people because according to him they wouldn't truly help in his spirit and embodiment of what Adopt A Family is to him. After all according to him he invented it and organizations and individuals like this were merely complacent to helping others at the holidays.

4th Annual Issue

Another lie since if it were true and it was his 4th Annual Adopt a Family it would have been 2 years ago with this organization. But seeing as how he no longer represents this organization in any way other than defaming, violating trademarks and copyrights and being an internet bully and tough guy. For it to be a valid statement for MRR23 and his myriad organizations and boards it would be the 1st Annual Adopt a Family fundraiser. I mean since he is all about the truth and families he should tell the truth when representing to the general public his purpose and intent.

MRR23 needs to get on with life and stop living vicariously through other people. MRR23s issues run very very deep. Donating to the domestic violence shelter is something that both enrages and infuriates him. Not only because it would help women who have been battered and their children they have custody of, but because he thinks that this organizations donation annually to the shelter(s) is somehow linked to his arrest for the same. Because he got arrested, donating to the domestic violence shelter is somehow "bad" and "evil" for those "corporations" and "organizations" to do. Go to XL106.7 and find a crack head, disney worker that will give you 4 passes to disney. You had it all wrong you should have contacted that Cindy lady the Bailbondswoman to help you out of yer "Legal Situation". MRR23 is right though I should have NOT helped him out when I found out what happened, I shouldn't have trusted him, all lessons learned on my part. But he really needs to let things go. He apologizes and then continues on the same pattern and behavior. I took his apology as being sincere but obviously they were just words to him.

********************

One thing I hate is liars. It's one thing to fudge on the truth, it's quite another to just flat out pathologically lie to hold yourself up better than another person or organization. Honestly that seems to be his mantra either he flat out lies or he spins the truth or he develops web pages to focus other peoples attention away from himself and onto other people.

This organization has nothing to hide. I have the books and records for every donation made by whom and the photos and documentation to prove everyone of his statements are lies... Dallas was consulted as well and knows for a fact that I was there and was a integral part of making it happen. So in closing ask yourself this question.

Would you rather donate to an organization that will see to it that the money is given to a "family" or an "organization" that will see to it that it's used fully to help a family during the holiday's. Or would you rather donate to someone who has to LIE and defame other people and their families to hold themselves out as somehow being a better person?

4th annual adopt-a-family drive

Adopt-A-Family

In 2002, a car club I belonged to, FLORIDA THIRD GENERATION F BODIES, INC. ® ™, wanted to help out others less fortunate than us for the Christmas holiday season. Ideas were kicked around as what to do with the money collected. One idea was to give it to a charity like United Way, Make-A-Wish Foundation, a local church, and other large corporations. It was decided, even though they are good charities; it wasn’t what we were looking for. We wanted to make a huge difference in a family’s life, even if it was for just this one month of the year. Giving it to a major corporation helps many people slightly. Giving it to one individual helps them immensely. But how could we decide on whom to give it to? My wife came up with the idea of piggybacking with XL106.7 and their Adopt-A-Family program they do every year.

The first year, my wife and I went to the radio station and sifted through tons of letters. We found a single mom in Kissimmee, Florida with two kids. Here is that story: http://stealthram.com/2002family.htm  << Copies the page off F3GO http://www.fl-thirdgen.org/adoptafamily-1.html

The next year, one of the club members suggested a lady he knew from his church that was caring for her grandson. Here is that story: http://stealthram.com/2003family.htm << Again copies the pictures and text off F3GO http://www.fl-thirdgen.org/adoptafamily2003.html

On the third year, the car club collected enough money to assist two families through the XL106.7 Adopt-A-Family program. Here is that story: http://www.fl-thirdgen.org/adoptafamily2004.html

All pictures on the 2002 and 2003 websites were taken by me and donated, for use, to the FLORIDA THIRD GENERATION F BODIES, INC.® ™. They are now being hosted by me.  WOW he's donating his own pictures back to himself, how incredibly white of him.

The next two years, with the re-organization of the now corporation, FLORIDA THIRD GENERATION F BODIES, INC. ® ™, could not gather enough momentum to continue the tradition as it was originally intended. They did contribute to a large corporate non-profit organization, Domestic Violence Coalition of Central Florida AKA Orange County Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse shelter. (We did? Oh that's because in your haste you didn't research what you were going to lie about.) As stated earlier, while major corporate organizations are a good place to contribute, it is not the embodiment of what the Adopt-A-Family was originally created for, to help individual families at this time of season. Giving to major corporations, doesn’t get the money to the individual. Most of the monies go to running the organization, with little going to the individual.

With that in mind, I have brought this idea, with me, to my club and its affiliates to continue the tradition in the way it was intended. Helping individuals makes a larger difference versus trying to help many at one time. Sometimes, this help gives them the turning point they need to get back on their feet and change their family forever.

In closing, please make an effort to help someone this year that really needs it. You can visit the following websites that hold the Adopt-A-Family tradition in the way it was intended, to help individual families, not corporate organizations. Click the donation button. You do not have to have a paypal account to contribute.

I encourage him to continue collecting and raising money for a needy family. But he is not going to lie and tarnish another organization, it's owner, and members in the process. There was no reason to bring up the organization on his part except to be spiteful and of course hold himself out better than everyone else.

The above is a "true" and accurate depiction of statements made by MRR23 and as such will not be removed.
