Hi Trish: I'm just getting caught up on the happenings on the list after a long vacation. I am truly amazed at the result of the Board meeting that "removed" Margy from her elected duties. And, I will be speaking to Margy regarding the actions she will take against these improper and none defend-able charges that were brought against her. Since you have rightfully applauded Margy's articulation and intelligence in her role as Secretary (I'm sure you are totally sincere in your opinions of Margy), and as you are running for the Board, will you please inform me privately, or the list of the names of the "Bored" members who voted in favor of her removal? Why? Because I feel if named, those persons will be compelled to answer to the membership represented on this list, as to WHY they felt they had to vote the they did. Especially if they are running for election in this new term. Again, this will be just another request for them to explain their actions. The request has fallen upon deaf ears earlier, but now that election time is approaching, it may be an incentive for those running to have a platform. I think you'll agree that the breach of confidence exhibited and promoted by "some" members of this "Bored" is an arrogant disregard for established policies and procedures. And, flagrant mis-use of what they assume as granted powers is really an indicted committed by their own arrogance and continued silent in the face of numerous requests for openness in regards to (i.e. forged signatures, questionable handler/judges actions, firings and non-firings and their refusal to revel the itemized TOTAL cost of the Hunte "settlement", they may believe that the "Executive/Closed" sessions are sacrosanct, so be it! But according to the laws of incorporation of the Stae of New York, members of the corporation MUST be allowed access to the financial books. They are NOT Closed! But I digress. These numerous violations not only insult the general membership, who entrusted the "Bored" to "Do the right thing", but it jeapordizies our Club's standing with the AKC and more importantly, I've been informed that our status of incorporation within the State of New York can be critically scrutinized due to the "Bored"s non-accountability for its actions and non-responsiveness to questions to dues paying members of the GSDCA, who are wholly and part of the corporations non-profit status, including the tenuous governing and oversight of the RALEEF committees solicitation and dispersal of accumulated funds. Sorry for being so wordy, but yours was the first post that struck a positive nerve and I figured that I would ask. I have had direct, private e-mails from some officers and boards members over the last few months since the "Hunte" affair that I interpret as an attempt to intimidate. I have been critizied by some for not "calling them to ask the truth", for not wanting to get answers over the phone (I responded that I asked the question on the List, why not reply on the List). Another "bored" member went so far as to chastise and intimidate a new prospective member for supplying info regarding the Hunte affair. And, forget the take a deep breath breath, I'll get back to you soon! Yea! Right! I have all of the private e-mail stored sent to me by the officers and "bored" members to whoich I am refferring to. From my old days in the CIC, I learned to keep hard copies and not rely on one on one verbal communications. All that to say, Tish, if you would, name the names. And, if you won't or can't according to the "closed" session imperative, I and many will understand. Stay well.
