I don't know....no one really does. We can just suppose. It is my opinion, tho, that not having a special board meeting and "waiting" 10 days was a mistake.....especially when people are now screaming for action to have occurred yesterday. I do not think it was a mistake. The first message sent to the membership said specifically the purpose of the meeting was to re do the election. Lews words. I can understand board members voting no to the. There is no provision in the bylaws Julie to re do the election. Anything urgent the exec committee can deal with. There was a suggestion a few days ago about the ballots, the exec comm met and approved. There was no need to wait 10 days. There was a ballot situation in 2005 under Ginny Altman and they acted and got it done. This cannot be pointed on board members who voted to no and to follow the bylaws. The exec comm can still sort this out. Molly Trillia German Shepherds since 1972 ph 409-287-3940 Member GSDCA, GSDCC, GSDC of Beaumont, Life member CKC "Never be afraid to try something new.
