What I want to know is who's idea was the secret ballot. If you didn't want the rest of the board to know how the lawyers voted that would be a good way to do it.

It's interesting to me that both of our lawyers on the Board voted "NO"....they must have felt that the club would not be in too much danger by denying Hunte's membership. So with their sage example, why would there be any other motive to vote him in since the membership so vehemently opposed it? While we're at it, we need to give the "NO" voters a sense of our gratitude. Thanks to you all.....for standing up to power and money. We are proud of you and will certainly remember all of this at voting time. As for the "YES" voters......HOW COULD YOU?!
