It used to be that these were done in secret, and that the members often did not know what happened. I was pleased to hear from Margy, she has taken the brunt of the blame for what others had done. I still don't know what my club spent to defend against Mr. Hunte. I know they hired some people and an attorney, (not that attorneys aren't people), and no one was ever told what it cost. That is our money they spent. I was told that the president then, Lew Bunch, who I have always admired was restricted from ever being elected to our presidency as part of the settlement with Mr. Hunte. I don't know if that is true or not, since we, the GSDCA members were never shown the settlement agreement. I have also been told that money was borrowed from our treasury by a member of the board, and done without board approval. I was also told it was paid back. I don't know if any of that is true, no one other than board members was allowed to read the settlement agreement with Hunte, entered into by our club. I am working on finding out if there is any prooof of the other issues, and a few of those running for the board have promised to look into those allegations. I guess the complaint by Margy and the letter by Joan was sent out to inform the membership of what was done to Margy and Joan, and to stop us from electing those individuals again without knowing the claims. I didn't get a copy of the complaint, maybe that is a compliment to me. I do remember the situation, and while I was amazed at how secret it was, I am still surprised that we were never given the information. This is information or lack of information that we should all consider when we vote, and hope those we elect have more respect for us, the little people.
