John:

I think I will put up a post tonight and see what happens.  I really like the club and it is good for Oliver collectors.  I really don't think the guys running it now want it to be "their" club they just goofed up in the way the terminated Sherry.  Right or wrong, firing her was up to them.  I don't know if they made the right decision, but I do know they totally screwed up the mess afterwards.

Well, we will see if we can get some changes at the next meeting.

   I agree with you about the financial reports, it would be nice to have time to review before the meeting. That's just one of the things I think should be done to improve the meetings. Someone had posted that they were suprised that there wasn't a sign-in at the get-together. That would be the perfect time to hand out the financial report, minutes from previous mtg, agenda for the mgt, and schedule of events for the show. If they are interested they can pick them up, if not that's OK too. That sign-in would also give a list of names of possible canidates. If they are coming to the get-togethers and shows they might have some interest in helping out, holding office, ect.  I didn't understand why the financial report had been faxed to the get-together. I would have thought it would have been available before that day. And not having enough copies to go around shouldn't happen either. The by-laws say that an annual report on the boards activities and a financial report are to be published in the magazine. I went back 5-6 years in my magazines and that has only happened once! 

  Sorry to Rant and Ramble, I just get fed up with how people do things sometimes. 

  Good to hear from you, John.[/quote:1ttegf2l]
