CARBOY News / Cool off time, apology and cha...
Last post by kevint - January 18, 2014, 12:22:57 AM
I've had a couple beers and time to cool off.  I appreciate everyone's comments and apologize for my outburst.  Unless there is opposition I will continue as president.  If there is opposition please post here and I will defer to the other officers to lead the club.

While I accept the apologies let me be frank and say that I still don't appreciate the comments as presented.  I am good with disagreement and respect all opinions.  I also agree that messaging by text does not always come across as desired.  In any case its in the past and its time to move on.

I am not a follower of Robert's Rules (or whatever) and may do something inadvertently outside the rules.  If so please let me know and I will correct as necessary.  My goal is to do what's best for the club.

Now for the touchy subject... charities.  My goal for the vote in Feb was have the club decide the future direction and to put this subject to rest, so we can talk about more fun subjects.  I had planned to provide, at the Jan meeting and on the forum, some basic club budgetary info and specific info about the request to vote for donating proceeds from the Shamrock raffle to a charity, which is TBD.  

After thinking about it I believe those who are for donating think its a good idea but those against have a stronger opinion for not donating.  I don't like dictating to the club but unless someone else approaches me with a request to have a vote for donating Carboy funds to a charity, I consider this subject closed and there will be no more postings on the forum regarding club donations.  

OTHO if someone wants to coordinate a club outing to volunteer time at the Foodbank or other charity please let one of the officers know and we can help coordinate.

Kevin

Mark from AB contacted me with the offer copied below.  Your thoughts...

Hey Todd,
we have some older smack packs we sell 3 for $10.
Would the club want to come wipe us out at $1.00 each.
We have about a dozen or so...
thx.

I've talked a few times already with Stu -- part owner and at least initially head brewer.  They are very interested in supporting the club and would listen to any plans we might have.

Quote from: "MikeSu"If the club has any interest in following up on Mo's comment in regards to the club making a connection or using Fortnight as a future meeting place let me know.  Mo was my business partner back when I tried pursuing that brewery dream and I would be more than happy to contact him on behalf of the club to help set something up.  I know I have not been very active lately in the club but let me know I would be happy to help and see what you can work out.

This interests me, because I know someone who was involved in fortnight and let it go because of disagreements. That would make Mo a person who has twice ditched a brewer. I'm not trying to hijack the thread or point fingers. Mostly just using the internet for what it was built for: random musings of an insane mind.

Well I guess that our new president needs to go talk to the folks at Fortnight.  We don't want to disappoint them in one of their business plan goals  :wink:
