A: Wino’s Crew MC do NOT have a “National”, nor will we ever have. This is one of the reasons this club exists in the first place. The whole idea that some members or chapters should be superior to other members or and chapters is something we do not believe in.

Q; Why do you wear a three-piece patch?

A; We wear the three-piece patch because we have earned the right to do so. Wino Willie himself did not believe in the idea of wearing patches, and he never wore one. But when this club started it was the logical thing to do.

Q; What is the meaning of WDCC?

A: We Don’t Call Cops

This became our slogan after a “National” called the cops on our founding members, and later to a club meeting where these issues were to be addressed.

25 members left at that moment, and later 13 of these guys started Wino’s Crew MC (ref history pages)

WDCC is not just a catchy phrase. It signifies so much more. It is a pledge to each and every brother. It stands for honest treatment, and a fair chance to settle disputes with Brothers. Those who do are beneath contempt.
