I don't understand...why not a modicum of cooperation for the benefit of the Chapter Members?!


Cheers :)
 
I have talked to both Davie and Scott and at this time they do not have access to the information nor are they certain when or if they will.
 
We are turning over all.

As of Dec 30.2006 Sherri Lewis who was voted in as Secretary and Treasurer to Sunstate Was Not A Member. But as the Money$$$ moves us, she is Now.

I have updated my members list and will turn it over this weekend.
Yes I am SAD, but hey 11 members out of 100 voted against me.

Harry sorry for any inconvience.
Joe, the List will be yours soon.

Take Care MJ :)
 
As of 12/30/06 Sherri Lewis was not a Sunstate Member but, on 12/30/06 she was voted in as Secretary/Treasurer.

This Weekend we will turn over all that is the Clubs.

We had to re-group as to if we wished to Call for a Re-Election.
But there is no Fight left in US.

Out of 100 Member's 11 voted for Scott/Sherri and 2 for Catfish and Me.

If the Vote was done Right to All By-Laws it would be Different, but hey $$$ Money Wins.

I would Never Harm my Member's as a Whole as they were Robbed For Elections. So End of Story Ernie and Scott will get all of Sunstate.

Sorry Harry for the Hold Up.
Wish All Well mj
 
Harry sorry for any inconvience.



Now Mary Jane, you know I wasn't inconvenienced. My thoughts were for the Chapter, not for you, nor me.

In retrospect, I had no knowledge of an official election. I don't understand why a mail in ballot was not inserted in the newsletter?! I don't know?!

Love ya.


Cheers :)
 
I know I haven't been with Sunstate as long as a lot of you guys but the way I feel it (not see it, but feel it) Catfish and MJ, you ARE and always be the essense of Sunstate.

I truly, truly hope that you will listen to what Ron said and what I told you when I called, which is:

Most of us had the impression that you guys would like someone else to take over for a while. So we thought you would be greatful that someone else stepped up and was voted in. We love you guys! Do you hear me? We love you guys!

No One Tryed to Call Us to ask or Enquire!

But we were not there. We asked Davie Seace to table elections till Jan, but Erine Boyette took over and election's held. Davie Seace Knew that we wished to Hold Our Positions, so much for our VP Support.

Listen to Ron who is not A Sunstate Member!! We Care About the Member's that is Why we will not hold up BD DAYS!

Even if the People Voted for the board were Not Sunstate Members.

MJ, just to set facts straight, about a few things....

One, I was not even in the same building as the club members when the vote took place. I did not vote, and to be real loud and clear here I will make this bold so it won't be missed.... I suggested that neither you nor Catfish were to be totally replaced, but that instead, you and Catfish should remain officers and add Scott Lewis. That would have put four people in control of the club, Scott... David.... MaryJane....Richard, to run the four officer positions, Pres... VP.... Tres.... Sec. Now some might say that as a non club member, my ideas or suggestions or advise is not needed nor welcomed, but no one said that to me at the fly-in before, during, or after the meeting/election. If some Ball-less peckerhead told you I voted in this election, or that this whole thing was my doing, then you listened to the wrong person. One thing I have noticed is there is alot of gutless people, who will do one thing in your presence and another thing behind your back, and I think there was one or two members present at that meeting are just this type of person.

Two, Club members tried to contact you and Catfish several times before the meeting to get your input about the vote. EVERYONE wanted to make sure that if the vote took place and new officers were elected, that you and Catfish would be happy with this news and not feel the way you obviously took it. I witness'ed Both Scott, Ernie, and David try to call you before the meeting took place. If you asked David not to hold elections at the meeting, he sure did not indicate it.... He seemed concerned about having a vote, but I never heard him say you asked him not to hold it.

Lastly, it would be great if all 100 members had voted, who knows how the outcome would have been.... who knows, maybe there would have been nominations for officer postions from more people as well. Fact of the matter is though, that the elections have always took place at the new years fly-in and from what I could tell, all club members knew the fly-in was taking place, If all 100 members wanted to place a vote or to discuss club business at the meeting, they could have been there to cast a vote. Only a handful of people showed up, and only 13 voted. Our PRA chapter 13 has held it's elections with half as many voting members present, and we have 50 or so active members in our chapter.

Anyway, this whole thing was never meant to be taken so out of context as it has been taken. I think everyone who was there for that meeting, and who knows what all has taken place since, is totally blown away over what this has become.

I hope that it is clear that I did not vote in this election, and that it is clear that everyone seemed to think that this relief from running the club after so many years would have been good news to you guys.
 
balless

balless

BALLESS is right , and WHAT PART OF NO ONE CALLED DO YOU NOT GET!!! SO someone is full of ****..... NO ONE CALLED , BEFORE OR AFTER ...GUTLESS ASSHOLES. Ron it would be best if you keep your mouth shut !! I'll post how I SEE IT LATER . RICHARD
 
Richard, I just want you to know have always considered you a good guy and a friend, And I think most people that know you feel the same way. I hope that when the dust settles on this matter you will still be my friend. I will leave it at that.
 
I can´t belive what is going on!
Another fake election?
Why in the hell Ron A is not a member? 25 bucks?
And why nobody could speak with the president and get things documented?
You guys were my last hope and it seems you just like all the goey thing we are transforming in to.
One hundred members an 11 votes? You´ve got to be kidding me, better dissolve this society, nobody cares enough to pick up a phone or send an e-mail.
I will go puke and come back later . . .
Heron :(
 
I should let this issue go to rest but...

I have been a member...albeit, just a supporting member for a few years. I was primarily interested in the newsletter and in attending Bensen Days. That's all.

I had no concern whatsoever with the By-Laws, politics, finances, etc, etc.

I was a gyro enthusiast, that's all, and wanted to help support a chapter in it's endeavor. I am a supporting member of several organizations. I am not an active member in any. I will support them (financially) but don't care to be actively involved.

My point here is...why isn't an election ballot issued in the newsletter? How or rather how can a clubs... (with over 100 members)...officer election be conducted with only a handfull of people present at a fly-in?! Answer me that. By-Laws be damned. What if only three people showed up at the fly-in? Election results???


Cheers .
 
Screw-in

Heron,

You bring up a good point. What is keeping some of us from becoming Members. PRA Chapter 26 is the chapter that puts together Bensen Days every year. They do so much for us, and I didn't remember reading anything in my Chapter 13 handbook that says we can't belong to two or more chapters.

I don't know anything about what has happened, but the timing sucks due to Bensen Days being right around the corner. I have confidence that all of this will be water under the bridge soon, and bensen Days will be as big if not bigger than it always has been.

I just stuck in the mail my $25 and application for membership into PRA Chapter 26.

Screw-Out
 
Heron, your joking right? Are you a dues paying member? I will probably rejoin at Bensen Days, since I do go to at least two club fly-ins a year, which is probably more than alot of the current sunstate membership.

Harry, I can't help you, but now there is a new newsletter editor and a new board. Might I suggest that YOU suggest your concerns to your new board and newsletter editor to try to get things the way you think they should be done.

I have talked to Scott Lewis and he wants to change the elections to be held at Bensen Days instead of at the new years fly-in.
