<CORSA Chapters> Jack Pinard

Okay, I have waited long enough.  To this I cry, BULLSHIT, Tim!!!!!  
What you did was out and out wrong.  You need to grow up and at the very least is resign or step down as President.
Jack was a pain in the ass to you and every other Board member and you wanted him gone.  In fact less then 2 months ago I received an email from a Board member stating that you were trying to get Jack off the Board and did I know of any way to do this?  I told that person I was unsure as I didn't have any paperwork with me.  I personally sent you an email regarding this and you said you were not trying to do that.
Jack wanted everyone to play by the rules and because of this nothing was getting accomplished within the Board.  Since you knew this from the very beginning, you all should have stopped what you were doing, and corrected a few of the issues Jack had and then the Board would have been good to continue on with it's business.
So the next easiest thing to do was to get Jack on the rules, since he pressed that things be handled by the rules and regulations.  So you called Harry or Mike and found out when Jack's dues were due.  There is no other way you would have known when they were due unless you asked Harry or Mike.  You then laid in wait and PREYED on Jack.  Harry claims he did not tell you...again how else would you have known the expration date of Jack's dues.
Jack's check was dated November 1, 2009.  CORSA claims the check was received in the P.O. Box 2 - 3 days late.  Becuase of a 1 -2 days lapse you TERMINATED his postion.  
That is just wrong Tim.  I can see a 3 weeks to a month as unacceptable for late dues, but 2 -3 days?  Do we know for a fact CORSA checks it's mail everyday?  No they do not.  If you had Harry & Mike checking for Jack's check on a daily basis, then that is wrong as well.  They check the mail box once maybe twice a week if we are lucky and we all know it.  Incidentially, what is the exact day someone's dues is up?
Can we prove when the payment was there?  I know Mike & Harry don't keep envelopes with date stamps, if they kept his why?  Even during a convention with price increases for pre-registrations, Harry allows a 1- 2 week grace period.  I know this for a fact because I did registration in 2000 & 2009.  So why draw the line here and now with Jack?  No other reason then you wanted him gone and off the Board.
In order for Jack to be re-instated, he needs to have one Western Division Director suggest him.  Then the entire BoD needs to vote on him.  Since Jack made life a little difficult on the Board, all of the Board would vote no.  Then you have a witch hunt.  Very ugly indeed.
Tim, I like you as a person, but you should be ashamed of yourself for how you handled this.  I have spoken to Jack.  He is very upset and his feelings are deeply hurt.  How can you treat volunteers like this?  He is a person just like you.  You can't go around hurting people like this.  It's because of this and many other issues CORSA is failing and miserably.
I hope all of you reading this go back and discuss with your Chapters what Tim, his fellow Boards members, and whatever part Harry & Mike played here have done to a human being and the CORSA organization as a whole. I know several of us have spoken at Central Florida Corvairs and we are disgusted with Tim and CORSA for allowing this to happen.

I am also seeking candidates to fill a vacancy left with the termination of 
Jack Pinards term of Offiice.  Jack has not sought re-appointment after his 
membership lapsed last month; Jack did renew but the by-laws state no break 
in membership is allowed. The re-appointment was offered to comply with the 
by-laws. However, it has been more than 30 days and the board (no one on the 
board) has heard from Jack.  It is presumed Jack did not want to continue.
Thus I need suggestions for a person to serve Jack remaining term (to about 
a month before the 2012 convention)

thanks
tim mahler
