That doesn't mean we do not want to know what happened. It seems like none or very few of the clug members attend a board meeting. I don't know why that is, but they move the meetings around to get input from the members, then no one comes. I got this from a board member, who I won't name because I have no permission to do so. I can't help but wonder why there were not more CA club members at the board meeting. One of the reasons for coming to CA was to afford members the opportunity to attend the board meeting. Several Club members were recognizes and addressed the Board. Perhaps the Board would have considered input from CA members. Maybe it is time to just hold the board meeting in the center of the country, save travel costs, have it in a Motel 6, and forget trying to allow members to come. California is an activist state, and even we didn't attend the meeting. I have no answers, just questions. Perhaps a video meeting will solve that, but I can't imagine sitting in front of my computer for 9 hours. On the other hand, I was surprised even I sat through the board meeting. I am glad I did, but I sure was exhausted by the time it was over. I can't imagine how the board members felt.
