I've already posted on this... And privately,I know there were members who simply could not attend. I heard from some of them and SURE do understand! Somebody suggested that members did not attend because they felt they would/could not make a difference. Maybe not, but I felt I made a small difference, and I am certainly a "little guy" in the realm of things. I think that those who mingled with the Board Members, got to know them, saw them at work, went away with a different perspective than they may have had the day before. Maybe not better or worse (LOL), but at least different! Watching the interaction is educating, listening how they arrive at the voting stage is educating. Even listening to what may seem as useless discussion over $2 is good to know! We've all been there in our own organizations and committees. That's all, folks Stormy Hope California PC Member since??? 199 something.
