Good Grief Menzy!!! When did you do laundry!!!???
No really, I can only aspire to be as good as you have shown yourself to be! I figure with 18+ or so years with my current school to go I have plenty of time!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
You want an example of a 'Bad Prez' well I was the secretary for the cream of the crop last year. Not only did she begin her year accusing the Principal (whom she hates) misspending school funds AND turning in pages of 'evidence' to the police BEFORE announcing her allegations, when everything was investigated and audited ($30,000 was spent on the audit, you DO'NT want to know legal fees!!!!) the police found no wrong doing and appologized to the Principal for wasting her time BUT NEVER to this day has the former Prez EVER appologized! So in September, the membership wanted her out and spent the ENTIRE YEAR changing the by-laws to get rid of her and make sure this could never happen again. Her husband has been even worse! Power hungry, controling, always questioning every move the school board made, etc. The hardest night I endured was the night a woman joined our board meeting to ask our group a few questions about our feelings on the school etc. She was conducting a study for the school (our principal has a thing for surveys and studies) and boy did she get an ear full! In a nut shell, the topic of our books came up (they are kept by the school per the school dist. policy) and how messed up they are. I reminded them of the help we could get was just a phone call away and I liked the districts policy. Holy Cow, the treasurer not only told me to shut-up but reminded me that I ws THE SECRETARY and to finish taking notes. Well, that's the part of the conversation I can print! Did the President say anything....nope. No, our guest followed me into the next room to make sure I was okay! ANYWAY....I was voted in as Prez and her last words to me were "I'm watching you!" Little did she know, the Dean of Students was/is watching her! He asked me before Winter break what is the deal with us and I laughed and said we have a love hate friendship....I would love to know why she hates me!
You are a dream and I would love the oppertunity to serve on your board....no really.
