If nothing else, those who did their very best deserve a break from office. I think this year will take much steam out of many. sheila sheila lieberman <dgshwpromo@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: But we will never know the whole truth. Margy and Lew both have stated in emails, one to the list and one to the membership, that they cannot discuss the details of the matter. Yes, Hunte is out, but on his terms, not the club's. I am not pleased that our directors were willing to be forced into a gag order. I am gagging!!! Our by laws, which have be reprinted several times here, state clearly that if we don't vote him in, he is out. Yes, errors were made, and theoretically dealt with, but I feel strongly that Hunte won on many levels. Public apologies, gag orders, what else that we don't know about? Remember there is a gag order, for all we know the next treasury report will have a large chunck of money missing with only a note that it is in regard to the meeting, but a gag order prevents the treasurer from full explanation. Yes, we got Hunte out, or not in. But at what price, and given our rules, how much did we over pay? sheila myjoygs@xxxxxxx wrote: I agree Sally, we asked to have the Hunte membership be reversed it has been done, the board has done what the membership asked. No mistake goes without a consequence and what ever that entails an apology or whatever the main issue here is that Hunte is not nor will be a member plain and simple. Consequences if there are any is never fair but the main thing here is the board heard us and did what was asked. We won! What more do you want from them. Firing of Joan, evidentally that was not true and look at all the raised emotions those three words caused on the list and it wasn't true! Before we go on a feeding frenzy, the facts, the truth must be in hand otherwise it is wasted negative energy which leads to unworthy attacks. Closed session I can see why some people would be upset and non trusting but there could be a viable reason, legal maybe who knows but until we know exactly why, chill. Unless we walk in the shoes of those on the board no one knows why things are they way they are. And one more thing, if someone has a problem with the present board, then run for a position on the board, subject yourself to the accusations and nastiness of those who don't think you are doing your job. I am not naive to think that all board members have no hidden agendas but I believe that a majority if not all have the club and members best interest in mind. I for one thank the board members for their hard work, for listening to the membership and reversing Hunte's membership has asked no matter what it took.

Sure can't see what Susan is guilty of. The REVIEW is just fine ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Has anyone stopped to think that list is just furthering supositions ? has anyone considered Susan has not lost her editor's job- joan as not been fired- the terms of the agreement are simple with no hidden agenda, that the terms of the agreement might require no public disclosure? I thought everyone on the list would be thrilled this was settled - I know I am - - I am proud of the board coming together and agreeing to the terms .
