On January 30th, Illeana posted the following list of how our Board voted. NO Sharon Allbright Kris Fasano Joan Fox Margery Golant Gail Hardcastle Nancy Harper Carolyn Martello Gary Szymczak YES Carmen Battaglia Helen Gleason Dania Karloff Tom Mesdag Nancy Nellis Bill Peiffer Paul Root Rita Sandell Tish Walker DID NOT VOTE Lew Bunch ABSENT Bart Bartley I find it interesting in the copious amount of posts to this list that the only board member who is addressed by name to change his vote to NO is Paul Root in the DEAR PAUL emails. Folks, there are eight other people who also voted yes. I want to make it perfectly clear; I'm not condoning Paul's yes vote, nor any of the other members who voted yes. But this seems unfairly skewed in one direction. I sincerely hope in the upcoming session there will be enough members who have had a revision in their thinking to override the acceptance of THAT person as a member. I trust that they have heard you all LOUD AND CLEAR. As some people have mentioned in their posts we need to pull together in this issue. Rightly so and we need to keep a positive, proactive approach. All this mud slinging does is fuel the fire and cause bad feelings, headaches, carpal tunnel, ulcers etc., and most likely keeps THAT person totally amused at the power he has over club members as we continue to post about him. Let's choose to take our power back and come together and work to gain the respect as a club, the same respect that our beloved breed so fittingly receives. Sincerely, Pat Galambos P.S. I refuse to give THAT person any power by even naming him. ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
