[DeTomaso] resignations

I have digested all the emails on this topic and to be honest it still doesn't sit well in my gut.



Presumably the BOD voted in favor of changing printers based upon the quotes presented. Did they not have all the facts and if not why did they not question further? Did Jack have all the facts when he resigned or were his and Mike Haney's resignations simply an outright stand against changing printer?



Why did Michael push to change printer if he knew there was only pennies between it?



Julian

I find it funny that three months after the Fun Rally we are now hearing that Shortt's bid for printing did not include shipping. Shortt is a lot of things but a mistake like this...?
I was listening in on this meeting also and I know what I heard.
Apparently, the board convinced 'some' members of this so-called discrepancy month's ago. Why wasn't this information, if it exists, relayed to ALL of us in a timely manner?

    Dear AJ,

    I have always respected you and your
 opinions but in this case you are
    incorrect as far as the resignation of
 Jack DeRyke.  I was on the Board
    of Directors' conference call where he was
 asked to stay and he
    adamantly refused to if the printer
 changed.  Jack's resignation was
    specifically because of the change in
 printer!  You can go research
    that phone conference call, or the minutes
 of the meeting, as the facts
    are saved.  As far as Mike Haney's
 resignation, that was done by his
    Mrs. for their reasons which most likely
 were aligned with their
    parents.

    To use a cliche, we're working on it.
    Most of what has been mentioned is in the
 pipeline. However, there
    are
    restrictions, particularly with the
 By-Laws as they currently stand.
    There are no provisions for multiple dues
 levels,
    particularly pertaining to how a member
 elects to have their club
    publications delivered, etc. That will
 take time as any changes or

 membership.
    The consensus seems to be that the
 Profiles would continue as a
    print
    publication for all except foreign members
 who elect to receive it
    digitally.
    As far as printing is concerned, it is
 that first copy that is so
    expensive, it is the subsequent copies
 that bring down the per unit
    cost. So as fewer units are produced and
 shipped, the cost per unit
    increases but not proportionately.
    An apples to apples comparison was made
 between an online printer
    and
    the current printer for both printing and
 mailing and the difference
    was pennies. That wasn't pennies per unit
 but for the whole run.
    As far as I am concerned, it is the
 editors who should have the most
    influence as to how and where their
 product is produced. They are
    the
    ones who must work with the printers and
 mailing houses on a regular

 agree, if POCA was missing

    full-color and paying $8,000 more for B/W
 then something is amiss.
    However, I also believe Mr. Shortt didn't

 everyone.
    I am on-board with electronic delivery,
 though I do admit it's
    nice
    to
    just sit back and read a paper copy too.
 It's also easier to
    hand-off
    to Sam so he can read it later. How do you
 really fix that?
    I would think (and I don't know), that the
 ClubExpress membership
    database might be able to include a
 "preference" as part of the
    member's
    profile or details. Just as I can set an
 address and phone
    number,
    if I
    could check a box for Electronic delivery
 or paper copies, or
    both,
    and
    select whatever I wanted for each item
 (Profiles versus
    Newsletter),
    that might be ideal.
    However, I'm also familiar with quantity
 discounting. It very
    well
    could be that it costs the same amount to
 print 500 as it does to
    print
    50, or 10 (but I doubt it). I imagine
 those are considerations
    the
    board will look at as well.
    Oh, and in contrast to what Laurie has
 claimed, I have heard (from
    more
    than one person), that Jack and Mike did
 not resign "because POCA
    changed printers;" it was over "control"
 of newsletter content
    that
    in
    essence fell outside the bounds of the
 by-laws. For a guy that
    appeared
    to try very hard to get everyone else to
 follow the by-laws (and
    it's
    unwritten code of ethics), Mr. Shortt
 certainly didn't feel they
    applied
    to him.
    For the record, as I understand it, POCA
 has changed printers
    -twice-
    since the Fertitta's (sp) (who were
 related to the DeRykes) got
    out
    of
    the business. So the "family tie-in"
 previously eluded to, was
    not
    a
    factor in the resignations.

    Having been on Boards before - I'd suggest
 the current Board deserves
    some time to catch their breath and
 recover from the situation they
    have recently been through. It is amazing
 how much time something like
    this takes - and I suspect everyone on the
 Board would like to catch up
    on all the things they have let slide
 while coping with the removal of
    a president and all the animosity and
 e-mails the whole mess generated.
    It's so easy to ask questions - but takes
 a lot more time to figure out
    how to do everything asked below. For now,
 let's just let the Board
    recover and slowly get some of the loose
 ends taken care of.

   I have digested all the emails on this topic and to be honest it still
   doesn't sit well in my gut.


   Presumably the BOD voted in favor of changing printers based upon the
   quotes presented. Did they not have all the facts and
   if not why did they not question further? Did Jack have all the facts w
   hen he resigned or were his and Mike Haney's resignations simply an
   outright stand against changing printer?


   Why did Michael push to change printer if he knew there was only
   pennies between it?

   I find it funny that three months after the Fun Rally we are now
   hearing that Shortt's bid for printing did not include shipping. Shortt
   is a lot of things but a mistake like this...?
   I was listening in on this meeting also and I know what I heard.
   Apparently, the board convinced 'some' members of this so-called
   discrepancy month's ago. Why wasn't this information, if it exists,
   relayed to ALL of us in a timely manner?

       Dear AJ,

       I have always respected you and your
    opinions but in this case you are
       incorrect as far as the resignation of
    Jack DeRyke.  I was on the Board
       of Directors' conference call where he was
    asked to stay and he
       adamantly refused to if the printer
    changed.  Jack's resignation was
       specifically because of the change in
    printer!  You can go research
       that phone conference call, or the minutes
    of the meeting, as the facts
       are saved.  As far as Mike Haney's
    resignation, that was done by his
       Mrs. for their reasons which most likely
    were aligned with their
       parents.

         The last? I heard (and I may have

         me,
         it's a wait and? see kind of
    thing.? I agree, if POCA was missing
         out on
         full-color? and paying $8,000 more
    for B/W then something is amiss.?
         However, I? also believe Mr. Shortt
    didn't account for all costs

    the present board members will
         properly investigate? and sort it
    out for everyone.
         I am on-board with electronic

         to
         just sit back and read a paper
    copy? too.? It's also easier to
         hand-off
         to Sam so he can read it? later.?
    How do you really fix that?
         I would think (and I don't? know),
    that the ClubExpress membership
         database might be able to include
    a? "preference" as part of the
         member's

    set an address and phone number,
         if I
         could check a box for Electronic?
    delivery or paper copies, or both,
         and
         select whatever I wanted for each?
    item (Profiles versus
         Newsletter),
         that might be ideal.
         However,? I'm also familiar with
    quantity discounting.? It very well
         could be? that it costs the same
    amount to print 500 as it does to
         print
         50, or 10? (but I doubt it).? I
    imagine those are considerations the
         board will? look at as well.
         Oh, and in contrast to what Laurie
    has claimed, I have? heard (from
         more
         than one person), that Jack and
    Mike did not resign? "because POCA
         changed printers;" it was over
    "control" of newsletter? content that
         in
         essence fell outside the bounds of
    the by-laws.? For? a guy that
         appeared
         to try very hard to get everyone
    else to follow the? by-laws (and
         it's
         unwritten code of ethics), Mr.
    Shortt certainly didn't? feel they
         applied
         to him.
         For the record, as I understand it,
    POCA? has changed printers
         -twice-
         since the Fertitta's (sp) (who were
    related? to the DeRykes) got out
         of
         the business.? So the "family
    tie-in"? previously eluded to, was not
         a
         factor in the resignations.

       I have a couple questions Bob:
       > Calling this situation "multiple dues
    levels" seems to be making the
       issue too complex. There are some members
    that are opting to not have
       printed magazines mailed which should make
    those members eligible for a
       discount because of the savings.
       > What is your estimate of the length
    of time that it would take the
       board to arrange for a vote of the
    membership to change the bylaws to
       allow for this discount?
       > Who specifically made that
    apples-to-apples comparison you refer to?
       > I agree that the editors should have
    the most influence ?on the
       process. ?However, our editors of both
    publications seem to have a hard
       time reporting to the members about ANY
    issues pertaining to the
       publication's themselves. Might that
    change in the near future or will
       radio silence be the norm here?

       However, I also believe Mr. Shortt didn't
    account for all costs
       properly. I have more faith that the
    present board members will
       properly investigate and sort it out for
    everyone.
       I am on-board with electronic delivery,
    though I do admit it's nice to
       just sit back and read a paper copy too.
    It's also easier to hand-off
       to Sam so he can read it later. How do you
    really fix that?
       I would think (and I don't know), that the
    ClubExpress membership
       database might be able to include a
    "preference" as part of the
       member's
       profile or details. Just as I can set an
    address and phone number, if
       I
       could check a box for Electronic delivery
    or paper copies, or both,
       and
       select whatever I wanted for each item
    (Profiles versus Newsletter),
       that might be ideal.
       However, I'm also familiar with quantity
    discounting. It very well
       could be that it costs the same amount to
    print 500 as it does to
       print
       50, or 10 (but I doubt it). I imagine
    those are considerations the
       board will look at as well.
       Oh, and in contrast to what Laurie has
    claimed, I have heard (from
       more
       than one person), that Jack and Mike did
    not resign "because POCA
       changed printers;" it was over "control"
    of newsletter content that in
       essence fell outside the bounds of the
    by-laws. For a guy that
       appeared
       to try very hard to get everyone else to
    follow the by-laws (and it's
       unwritten code of ethics), Mr. Shortt
    certainly didn't feel they
       applied
       to him.
       For the record, as I understand it, POCA
    has changed printers -twice-
       since the Fertitta's (sp) (who were
    related to the DeRykes) got out of

       Having been on Boards before - I'd suggest
    the current Board deserves
       some time to catch their breath and
    recover from the situation they
       have recently been through. It is amazing
    how much time something like
       this takes - and I suspect everyone on the
    Board would like to catch up
       on all the things they have let slide
    while coping with the removal of
       a president and all the animosity and
    e-mails the whole mess generated.
       It's so easy to ask questions - but takes
    a lot more time to figure out
       how to do everything asked below. For now,
    let's just let the Board
       recover and slowly get some of the loose
    ends taken care of.

       To use a cliche, we're working on it.
       Most of what has been mentioned is in the
    pipeline. However, there are
       restrictions, particularly with the
    By-Laws as they currently stand.
       There are no provisions for multiple dues
    levels, particularly
       pertaining to how a member elects to have
    their club publications
       delivered, etc. That will take time as any
    changes or amendments must
       be approved by the whole membership.
       The consensus seems to be that the
    Profiles would continue as a print
       publication for all except foreign members
    who elect to receive it
       digitally.
       As far as printing is concerned, it is
    that first copy that is so
       expensive, it is the subsequent copies
    that bring down the per unit
       cost. So as fewer units are produced and
    shipped, the cost per unit
       increases but not proportionately.
       An apples to apples comparison was made
    between an online printer and

       was pennies. That wasn't pennies per unit

       The last I heard (and I may have heard
    wrong), the board was interested

    printing costs, so for me,
       it's a wait and see kind of thing. I
    agree, if POCA was missing out on
       full-color and paying $8,000 more for B/W
    then something is amiss.
       However, I also believe Mr. Shortt didn't
    account for all costs
       properly. I have more faith that the
    present board members will
       properly investigate and sort it out for
    everyone.
       I am on-board with electronic delivery,
    though I do admit it's nice to
       just sit back and read a paper copy too.
    It's also easier to hand-off
       to Sam so he can read it later. How do you
    really fix that?
       I would think (and I don't know), that the
    ClubExpress membership
       database might be able to include a
    "preference" as part of the
       member's profile or details. Just as I can
    set an address and phone
       number, if I could check a box for
    Electronic delivery or paper copies,
       or both, and select whatever I wanted for
    each item (Profiles versus
       Newsletter), that might be ideal.
       However, I'm also familiar with quantity
    discounting. It very well
       could be that it costs the same amount to
    print 500 as it does to print
       50, or 10 (but I doubt it). I imagine
    those are considerations the
       board will look at as well.
       Oh, and in contrast to what Laurie has
    claimed, I have heard (from more
       than one person), that Jack and Mike did
    not resign "because POCA
       changed printers;" it was over "control"
    of newsletter content that in
       essence fell outside the bounds of the
    by-laws. For a guy that appeared
       to try very hard to get everyone else to
    follow the by-laws (and it's
       unwritten code of ethics), Mr. Shortt
    certainly didn't feel they
       applied to him.
       For the record, as I understand it, POCA
    has changed printers -twice-
       since the Fertitta's (sp) (who were
    related to the DeRykes) got out of
       the business. So the "family tie-in"
    previously eluded to, was not a
       factor in the resignations.

       To use a cliche, we're working on it.
       Most of what has been mentioned is in the
    pipeline. However, there are
       restrictions, particularly with the
    By-Laws as they currently stand.
       There are no provisions for multiple dues
    levels,
       particularly pertaining to how a member
    elects to have their club
       publications delivered, etc. That will
    take time as any changes or
       amendments must be approved by the whole
    membership.
       The consensus seems to be that the
    Profiles would continue as a print
       publication for all except foreign members
    who elect to receive it
       digitally.
       As far as printing is concerned, it is
    that first copy that is so
       expensive, it is the subsequent copies
    that bring down the per unit
       cost. So as fewer units are produced and
    shipped, the cost per unit
       increases but not proportionately.
       An apples to apples comparison was made
    between an online printer and
       the current printer for both printing and
    mailing and the difference
       was pennies. That wasn't pennies per unit
    but for the whole run.
       As far as I am concerned, it is the
    editors who should have the most
       influence as to how and where their
    product is produced. They are the
       ones who must work with the printers and
    mailing houses on a regular
       basis.
