****

Kirsi, the secretary of the CAD chapter for Greater San Diego, opinion is inserted from here on and may not represent the entire chapter of Greater San Diego:
I think this is our final straw that broke the camel's hump. I am very sorry that I couldn't get the community to rise and get together to do something for SAN DIEGO. I am sorry if I didn't get out the word enough-- I felt I did my part best as I can-- I pushed and pushed.
Unfortunately, I am leaving in late July or early August, so somebody needs to step up and open up a line of communications with Kim Laule. Right now, we are stuck with her power of networking-- and she is not willing to share her networking among her friends who are in higher places in CAD. She is determined to become the president, regardless her inefficiency in a such position. You need to speak up. You, him, her, them, and everybody else! You kept complaining about how we operate our chapter-- well, DO SOMETHING!
Talk with us, talk with Kim, TALK WITH WHOMEVER IN THE CHAPTER.

If you are pointing out the problem, at least offer a solution to take action on!!!!!


Again, I implore you to contact Kim to show your concerns and support for the CAD chapter. We cannot relay on DCS for providing community events and recreations!!!
