VADave,
You seem to have some things confused here.  I hope I can clarify them here.

1.  This one is my opinion: Past performance does matter.  I think by renewing Sherry&#039;s contract, the board was giving her another chance to kind of run things in a way that she can handle.  By what you&#039;re saying, to eliminate her the board would have to go through the a process that could take a whole year, and by then her contract is renewed again.  Then the past is wiped clean and she starts over again.  So I think her past performance should always be a consideration.  So her being let go after two months was because she did something unsatisfactory within that time period, and with a past track record this was unacceptable to the board and time to find a replacement.

2. Again and again it has been said that financial matters were not in play in Sherry&#039;s termination.  Repeated one more time, enough said.

3. Gagging Sherry...  I still don&#039;t understand where that come from.  The only thing I can see is Sherry doesn&#039;t think she can get her final compensation if she blasts the board.  This is bull since for one, I highly doubt they would do it and drag things out longer, and two since she could take legal action to get what is owed to her.  The president has said on here that she can post everything that she wants, but she is still under a &amp;quot;gag order.&amp;quot;  I think that gag order is self imposed.  Again last sentence is just my opinion.

4. As to details to the restoration of Old #3, they are forthcoming in the next magazine.  I believe some questions will be answered there.

Now that I have posted some facts for you, and before you start saying I&#039;m &amp;quot;privileged&amp;quot; because I have information, remember a couple things.  I take a keen interest in what is happening in this club, so I pay attention to what is going on and find out every detail I can before I say a thing.  I do not know the details of that letter to Sherry but I have seen instances of friction where she has had trouble with the board, and not just the current board either.  So gentlemen there is one thing I would like to stress:  Feel free to post your opinions; free speech is one thing that makes this country great.  But PLEASE get all your facts straight before developing that opinion. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
