Unless she quits, she will be there until the next members meeting in May 2012, I agree that she seemed bitter and I was hoping the woman that put herself up for re- election(removal) had been the one to stay on, I thought she was a class act .HappyCamper wrote: So my question is when will Cindy Manning be voted on?

I very mush applaud the wome who stepped down when clearly it should have been Manning, those members that have to work with her you have your work cut out as she seems very bitter.
Please old and new members remember it is not a personal attack it is about the animals and it is just too bad that it had to come to this. You have the communities attention so I am very much looking for the new ideas that are sure to come and how I can help.

My understanding was he was never elected and vacated his seat. I have the utmost respect for Dr. Palmini's skills and he was a class act in the whole process.I believe his name was there to meet the bylaw requirements.Wily Fox aka Angela wrote: in this week's Flume article, it states that there was a vacant seat left by the recent resignation of Dr Palmini.
"David O'Brien, Cappy O'Brien, Wendy Kelsey-Newman, Steve Kelsey, and Lynn Stockton were overwhelmingly elected to two-year positions on the board, beating incumbents Sharon Winterrowd and Sherry Lightcalf. Of the three vacant seats, the most recent was created when Conifer veterinarian David Palmini left the board"
On the whiteboard voting photo, it shows that his name was up for reelection. Can someone explain this?

I know most of the members there had either/both volunteered in some way at the shelter (some in past years), donated, fostered, and/or adopted their pets from the shelter. The reporter was told this but it seems he decided not to include it in the article.

I agree 100% . Everyone that I knew there ,about 1/3 were big supporters of IMHS. This was not a group of Johnny come lately s. I think they got a great response to their call for volunteers also. Maybe a letter to the editor of the Flume is in order.MsMAM wrote:

Yeah - that comment kinda made me mad. It was a bad generalization. I know I have volunteered for the shelter a touch, and I have a vested interest in pets. I think she was just mad that they were being called on their decisions. Well, I think that was just too bad. The bottom line is the community spoke. There were a a lot of us that wondered why they had put all of those cats down. Especially w/o asking for help. To be honest - I am sorry the one gal gave up here seat instead of Cindy. That's my $.02
