Subject: Advisory meeting 8/20/14

It was an exciting advisory meeting today. Topic was: Review of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

After some small talk, Marcia told Marilyn Gorodetzer she needed a copy of the present bylaws in order to compare them with possible future changes.  Marilyn Gorodetzer disagreed, and an heated discussion ensued.  Marilyn’s position was that these were to be new bylaws, and they did not need to be compared to the old bylaws.  After a while, Joy Vestal agreed with Marcia and later David chimed in and also agreed with Marcia and Joy.  . They took a vote, and the majority of the advisory committee agreed that they needed a copy of the present bylaws in order to know specifically which changes are being made.

Meanwhile, some nasty words were exchanged between David and Marilyn G ..

 Marilyn became livid and said, “ I put in a lot of hours in this, if you don’t like it, I can quit, "  and  walked out.  David’s last words before the meeting adjourned was meekly, “We need to look for a new Advisory Chair."

I agree. As a matter of fact we need a new Advisory Chair, UCO chair, The UCO reporter Chair, ad infinitum. We need anew broom after all a new broom sweeps clean.
