[DeTomaso] ENOUGH ALREADY!

[marshall smith]

Hey Rob and all....

It is fact that there are some serious problems with the way the current POCA Board runs the club we enjoy so much. From secret bank accounts to rude behavior towards members to archaic business practices, this just scratches the surface on the number of complaints levied against this board by its members. When you lose 10% of your membership in one year, there's a problem and it certainly can't be blamed on the members. I am sorry you were fed up before and appear that way again but member complaints directed at our current board just can't be labeled at petty B.S.

You and others (and there many) can choose to leave POCA once again but there are many of us that wish to change things at the top and make it a cohesive, friendly and open organization again. This upcoming election is the only way we can voice our displeasure and insert new directors that will bring about that change.

    I was trying to
 stay above this but I am compelled to reply.A  This
    petty B.S. is why I left POCA years
 ago.A  I spoke to another past
    member yesterday who left for the same
 reason.A  You want to drive the
    marque down, keep it up.
    I rejoined POCA a few months ago because
 of a regional desire to act
    like a car club and enjoy our cars.A 
 I will leave POCA in another
    heartbeat and just be a local associate
 member if attitudes and
    politics-as-usual remains in the Jr. High
 era clicks of who is cooler
    than who. A A
    Frankly, nobody should give a crap about
 who anybody else voted for.
    The candidate did a fine job introducing
 themselves and their visions.
    You vote what you think is best for the
 club and let everybody else do
    the same and let voting members decide
 without this drama.A  The only
    people who are showing class by not piling
 on here are those running
    for the offices.A  I commend those
 seeking office for not getting
    involved but I seriously question why any
 of you would want to preside
    over such a dysfunctional minority that is
 frankly making it hard for
    the rest of us to justify why we still
 care.

      All,
      I have just completed my POCA
 Executive Board election ballot on
      SurveyMonkey.
      I was pleased to cast my vote for
 Rob DaOrazio for POCA President.
      I encourage other POCA members to
 do the same.
      Sincerely,
      Larry Finch
