Kris, since Debbie was not at the meeting when you asked your question, Ginny did tell you to wait til the next meeting for an 'official' response from Debbie, which was the logical response, since Debbie will beat the April meeting. Had you asked the question prior to the meeting (like by means of the Board email address), perhaps a report could have been obtained from Debbie to address your question at the meeting. However, there is no reason why you or any other Club member could not have simply called Debbie and asked her, just as Laurie did. Laurie received the answer 'unofficially' right then and there, so obviously this was not impossible. Besides, based on the information Laurie obtained, there is no issue of 'operating in the dark', so no reason for 'rumors'.
