Jim; If that's the way it went down... I agree with you! Which club officer cast the third vote in favor? I would like to hear the rest of the Board's viewpoints .... and the views of some of the new incoming officers. I have no problem with Board permission to grant approval to such a request, provided the entire Board was presented with the request and the opportunity for the pro's and con's be discussed and voted upon one way or the other. Steffner posted this morning on the club message board that he knew of no such request. For two or three club officers to ignore consulting the other Board members for their input is plain WRONG!
