No reason has to be given. Helen Fisher Mr Hunte joined online. I processed Mr Hunte's application and he has been published. Dania had nothing to do with it. We have not put unauthorized holds on any application for 10 years. We have denied one person membership in that time. I was tutored to put a hold on people with white dogs at one time. Guess what??? We can't operate beyond our By-Laws any longer. We have legal council who advises us against denying membership unless we change the by-laws. I am not currently on the Board and have not been included in all of these conversations. Please write letters to Dania within the next 30 days opposing his membership if that is how you feel. Hopefully the by-law committee is working on this problem. Gail ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
