starting over...

I mailed off my application for the CWCCA again... since being advised they were having a meeting in January, I thought this might be a good time to get my app back into circulation... Let's see if anyone objects to my membership this time.... now that I've had a chance to be a big mouth ;-) In the reason why I wanted to be a member I stated " I wish to reinstate my membership that lapsed in 10/07. I wish to continue receiving the benefits of membership" :) I will kiss no one's boo-tay thank you :) "oooh please let me in your club.... " ha. If they deny me membership, well then? *shrug* Just means I have no by-laws by which to abide ;-) I doubt they'll deny me, but sometimes it's fun to think about the flip side of things :)
I shall keep you all posted... and I'm sure you all will see my name come through in the newsletter soon enough :)

CWCCA Membership.... the update

Well I found out tonight that my petition to get an extension was denied by the CWCCA Board...

I'm frustrated and angry about this... on top of other crap that went down this weekend.... but I just thought I'd share with those of you who took note before... I'll have to reapply if I want to be a member again...

Oh joy.

recent frustrations

As I'm sure those of you who subscribe to SCL have read, my membership to the CWCCA has lapsed due to severe financial troubles I was having this summer. It was *far* more important that I had food to feed myself and my dogs, than it was to renew a membership to a club. Now that my membership lapsed, *some* people (who shall remain nameless to protect their (evil) identities) were very short with me and told me that my only option was to reapply.

When all was said and done word came out about an "extension" that can be applied for, that even long time former board members (Cathy Ochs-Cline, Jennifer Roberson and Karen Harbert) had never heard of.

Karen and Jennifer graciously offered to help me out by sponsoring me again, should it be necessary, but Karen wrote an email to Tricia on my behalf asking if the board could grant me an extension. I'm just getting to know some of these folks, but the email that Karen wrote on my behalf was quite nice... I'm learning that because I have worked for the club, am *working* for the club, and have plans to *continue* working for the club, that they should have no problems giving me the extension I need to renew my membership. We shall see.

I raised cane about it mostly out of principle... I gave thought to NOT renewing the membership at all, but I realized that if I have any hope of taking over *certain* people's positions within the CWCCA, I need to be a member ;-)

Stay tuned for details on membership ;-) I think I might have caught the attention of some folks ;-) (or rather SOME people's unfriendly replies might have as well!)
