I have a problem with ADF acting as if they are the be all end all of charity support in St. Mary's County, and I have a problem with deception. The Rod and Reel is honest and doesn't use the charity front for their benefit - they are outright honest in the fact the individuals benefit, not charities. No, I don't think they should be able to having gaming machines when others can't - that is totally unfair. But my problem is with years and years of ADF getting away with using charities for personal gain. Yes, they give, give, give. But they also get, get, get, get, get.........and that is not right!
And what's this about wages? St. Mary's County bingo law states that no individuals are supposed to be paid with the exception of a bingo caller. Oh yeah, that's right, ADF workers get paid (and receive benefits) because "they work in the kitchen." I guess all those invisible ovens and serving trays on the bingo floor and at the front counter where people come in to pay for their bingo cards are part of the ADF kitchen! How silly of me???? "Tonight's special on the ADF kitchen menu" - a book of bingo paper, 2 bingo daubers, and 15 bingo ball pull tab tickets. All coming from the kitchen, served by paid workers. RIGHT!!
