ED...

Although we are all frustrated with the lack of response from our BOD...the remarks in your post are crossing the line...

Although they seem to be non-accusatory....anything that can be construed as such will just cause any of us more problems down the road !!

I am sure they feel that we(renegades) are a small faction out of a group of 6000+ members and that if they keep us on ignore we will eventually go away.....they are supported by a greater number than us(the silent majority of older members) that keep them in office and have created a fortress that at present we can't penetrate.

There are alot of members out there that support our efforts as well as support them....all have chosen not to get involved for whatever reason and sit back reading their magazine and vote once a year!!

We need to figure out a way to get us together on a more formal basis,maybe then some of the sideliners will see that we are organized,on a mission and we would gain more support from the neutrals.They will also see that we are not trolling the net to pounce on anyone that has something derogatory to say about us,Sherry,etc.

I am as frustrated with this as much as anyone else and wish that I had more time to devote to the club,but at present I can't.

Maybe editing or rewording your post will get the point across,rather than raise the hackles on their neck for unintentional reasons....
