Thanks from Harriet (secretary's minutes)

Someone emailed and asked me to respond to my mail, so, here goes. All the responses were sincere and helpful. Not a smart aleck in the bunch! I appreciate all the responses and am trying my best to use the information in a constructive way. While I still disagree that minutes have to be so so concise and the news has to be kept close to the board members' chests, I do understand that someone just "running off at the mouth" could put the board at jeopardy. I did drop off the board because after much thought and thinking about issues that have come up over the past three years, I don't feel that I know enough to have to be so responsible. It seems to me that my fellow board members want to run our little 88 member association like we're IBM and I want to run it like the local Mom and Pop grocery store. We are far far apart in our attitudes about sharing information.Anyhow-hope I can be as useful to someone as ya'll (yes, I'm from the deep south) have been to me. Thanks to all!
Harriet
