Dear Peggy I asked some very hard and pointed questions as did Joan and anyone saying they had no idea is in my opinion not being straight. I gave the committee the language used by other clubs - the outside attorney said to take it out- subsequent events make me question that advice. As for Margy and the leak of the Hunte vote - The Board agreed to record the yes and no votes - when some miss guided Board members and not who you might suspect gave affidavits to the outside attorney who was trying to make a case against Margy I told Margy. When the Board member providing the affidavit talked to me at length it was clear that all Margy said as she left the meeting was an expression of utter disbelief, not surprising to me and the fact of how the vote had gone- clearly within her rights-and I told the other member that MARGY HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG-MARGY NEVER SAID WHO VOTED HOW OR WHAT WAS SAID BY ANYONE-Kris -------------- Original message from Peggy <pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx>: -------------- I am willing to be no one will be surprised that I'm jumping in on this. First of all, I DID speak to several Board Members who told me they had NO IDEA WHO HUNTE WAS until AFTER the vote. Then of course we have the one who thought we'd have ACCESS TO HUNTE'S MONEY to use for various projects (yeah, right...in a pig's eye)...so it DOES seem as if quite a few people voted without having a clue to what Hunte did for a living............not that I believe it would have made any difference, since every single report of that meeting in January led me to believe, and I'm not alone in believing this, that some people were simply bamboozled into voting for the man. Yes, Kris, we know you voted No, and we all appreciate that. The whole Hunte issue is the reason so many people want a strong C of E that every member has to sign...one forbidding dealing wtih wholesalers, dealers, pet stores, etc.--and yes, we also know some people think that would make the club "elitist." I fail to see a problem with that.........but that's me. As for Margy being blamed for "leaking" the news, that is an outright lie...most of us know who actually leaked the news to the person who was the first to post that Hunte was accepted..................and those who don't know obviously don't care.

However, those voting knew the position of the membership and unless you have a crystal ball or know something I don't know, how can you say those voting for the person would have done anything different. Did you talk to someone on the Board who said they asked any questions of myself or Margy. Not all persons in a role of leadership got the issue wrong in the first place. The cost should be on the shoulders of those who did not get it- Kris ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
