[C38] thank you Charles

[Garth Birdsey]

I didn't realize that my comments were going public on the listserve.  I have never used a listserve before.


If you are reading this and think that I am "a guy that you can do without" because I would expect access to the web site that I had paid to join I also feel it is best that I am not.


I would be glad to be a part of the community, but that is pretty much impossible  when you can't gain access to the website OR the listserve threads!


I plan on starting my own website and have already started a Facebook page for the Catalina 38.

Hello Charles,



  I have never been able to access the website.  The have been unable to open a search on the listserve and the information that I am seeing is only of a generic nature.   I have been on many owners websites and organizations and I can tell you that the Catalina38.org<http://catalina38.org> is by far the most poorly run site I have ever seen.



I have escalated both of my payments through Paypal to a dispute status and have asked for a refund for both payments.



Thank you,



Garth

Garth,
I am a bit confused.  I got you into the listserve and I know you were sent a login password.....  And I sent an email to our Treasurer to have him send you a check (as promised) for your mistake regarding double paying of dues.....  But, you then sent a message to the listserve (a member only benefit) that you could not log in  AND you sent Paypal a  notice that you have a dispute and have escalated it to a claim.
Please clarify what you are doing here.  If your intention is to leave the Association we will be happy to remove you from the listserve, send the check I promised and erase what you are contesting.  This has never happened before and as I told you on the phone, we are all volunteers who give our time to the organization and respond as best we can.  If your expectations for service diffesr from what we are willing to provide, we certainly don't want to keep an unhappy member.
Regards,
cf
