Yes, money was spent on the site, the hosting/domain name costs comes out of the membership fees & its designed by one of the 19,000 club members In GB & Ireland who donates his free time designing it!
Yeah, all good arguments though. Though as being a member of a lions club I can see where the money I raise for charity goes. Lions have a lot of Projects which help the local community,individuals or to emergencies (google LCIF) I know every penny Lions around the world raises for charity goes to charity or charitable projects & its running costs are paid for by its members. So I know where my moneys going.
