Here it is - EXACTLY what I wanted to say. AMEN. Thanks, Ileana. Margy - take care of home, leave club biz for a time when your life is more settled. Remain a member, please drop the lawsuit. Let's all move forward.

I am, however, a concerned friend, and as such I think I can tell you a couple of things. This is the club member talking: What I wanted? As a club member, your presence at the Board meeting, that is after all what we voted you in for. If you couldn't be there then the Board needed to know so they could still conduct business efficiently. I don't think that was an unreasonable expectation. This is your friend talking: I cant tell you what to do, but if I was in your shoes, I would seriously take a hard look at my situation, and decide what the priorities are. I don't think at this time, based on your post, your energy needs to be spent in a Board position. It does no good to neither you, the club or the membership at this time. The club will still be here when you are ready to actively join again. Sometimes we make plans and they don't work out they way we planned. Lets be realistic. There is no shame in saying "I cant do this now" and certainly no one can hold that against you. I think we all need to learn to separate friendship and business. Your friends will remain your friends I will have you in my prayers, hoping that things get better for you. And just from one human to another: Take care of yourself, take care of business at home, and if there is anything I can do for you, just let me know.
