Yes, I was fired over the weekend.  I had absolutely NO idea that it was coming.  I am more than aware that the board doesn't like so I've been especially careful to walk the line the last 6 months making sure that they have no grips against me.  Little did I know that following Penfield they set the wheels in motion for my removal. This is nothing more than petty jealousy from a power hungry board.

I feel terrible about this for 2 reasons.  Firstly, the club itself is going to suffer greatly from this.  I love this club and wish it no harm.

Secondly, I feel like they just cut my heart out.  This magazine was my heart and soul.  I have no husband or kids, so this was my baby.  I've been thrown out into the world of unemployment with no notice and during a bad time in our economy.  This was the dream job for me and although it wasn't the best paying job I could have, I didn't care.  It's what I loved and dreamed of doing.  I had 10 great years of it.

I'm not sure what is going to happen with the magazine now or if the membership can do anything about it.  I see a couple different scenerios.  We can get rid of a few board members, bring me back and keep going strong,  or the club can go down the tubes.  I personally will not send in my next $30 under this current leadership.  

As for what I can do....my hands are tied.  They will not even let me say my good-byes.  As far as they're concerned, they have locked me out in the cold with no chance of getting back in.   

Thank you for your support.  If you have any questions regarding what happened, please feel free to ask me.  I doubt that you'll get much truth out of our current board.
