During all this complaining I have not once heard you offer a possible
solution or offer to help run this chapter. If you are not part of the
solution than you are part of the problem. If you are unhappy with the way
things are being run help! I think on the next meeting we should consider
officers. As it stands Rego is doing everything. Then we'll see who puts
up and who shuts up.
Let's be mature (unselfish) and constructive. Let's work together.

PS: And by the way.... since we are quoting do you know why the meeting is
cancelled? Do you know why both meeting sites fell through. I try to have
all the relative info before I acuse. If I don't have that information I
ASK FIRST! Maybe you could find a meeting place and plan a meeting?
