Margery, thanks for giving us your wise words of hope. This is the most positive take I have heard, and I hope that every other board member reads it and realizes that even though mistakes have been made, they can be rectified without embarrassment next week.

I do not intend to minimize it, I feel it very strongly as well. However, now we are hard at work looking for a solution, and it may just be that there are Board Members who have reevaluated their view of the situation. Much soul-searching has gone on, much anger and pain has been expressed, I well know it as I am there myself, have not slept much since the last Board meeting. But, we are all human. It takes a great deal of courage to face mistakes and work to rectify them, and I am sure that some Board Members are doing that. If there are those who deserve your fury currently, I would suggest that perhaps it is not those who recognize the problem and want to be part of the solution. As to the others, well, I hope there are no others. Maybe next time there will be 100% turnout and the vote will be unanimous. Make your voices heard, and then let's see what happens.

My original post to Paul was copied to the LIST, but it came back, with an incorrect address. Beryl Paul I responded to your post and then I ended up not sending it. Because I decided it was not in the best interest of everyone considering I felt I was venting. However I also took your post "that way". I have been very disappointed by the board vote that allowed HUNTE in. I am not going to single you out, you were one of 9. But until this serious issue is resolved, I am having a difficult time "keeping the faith" in the decision to allow Mr. Hunte into our membership. And that is all I am going to say on this subject, other than I hope that one day soon I can give a thankful HURRAY(yes that's a shout) that we have the club back in the respected position that it deserves.
