Ok Andy.....I am a little confused.....

We are a national membership organization,we elect officers to represent us to the best of their ability,they appoint committees such as the bylaws,you ask for membership input,you rebut anything presented,you tell us how much work is in it,you present a draft at the Winter meeting that is not worth the paper its printed on,we ask for a copy of the proposed changes ,but for whatever reason they are not printed yet,we have to wait till the summer meeting to see them....well,guys and girls am I seeing this wrong or something???

Quite frankly Andy,I really don&#039;t care what time,gas or money you&#039;ve spent.You stepped up and had the bomb strapped to your chest.If anyone else had volunteered we would have had to spend the same.As this Board&#039;s lightning rod I sincerely think that you&#039;ve taken one too many strikes to think that we are gonna wait till the summer meeting to see and/or vote on something we don&#039;t even know exists!!

Most of us members belong or have belonged to many membership organizations and the members are informed at every aspect and the members make the decisions....

bylaws...I can remember doing a dozen drafts before the membership approved it.....

you don&#039;t want to take any criticism,you give enough,of all people,you should take the most...

but in this club...any negative response you get called renegades,you are sent to a closet for repair,rely on a silent majority to maintain the good ol&#039;boys group or out pops the relatives to support their family member under fire and then back to the tall grass for them!!!!

You ever wonder why you have renegades or poor participation in club committees,keep up the good work with  your bylaws !!!
