Gary, as you are a former National President in good standing, I would hope the current Officers, Board and Presidents would at least solicit your input and feedback along with other Past Officers, Board Members and Presidents in good standing as they tackle this difficult situation. The club was built on those early principles and that something special that made it in fact something special has been misplaced, ignored, forgotten or set aside. It has lost it's way in the process, needing a reboot. I would hope the club will take a long look at what was working in the past and make the changes along those lines while restoring trust and respect to what you and others had built. As good as it is to see that positive change will come from this, it is still sad it had to come to this.
