     Roger problem...

          there was an incident at the last driving event to tahoe that needs to be addressed according to our by-laws


read the by-laws Article II Section 4


Every member of RMC will conduct themselves in a manner benefiting RMC while attending any Corvette-related event. Any conduct detrimental to RMC must be brought to the attention of the RMC Board in writing and is subject to membership vote for suspension or expulsion from RMC.


• Any member may be suspended/terminated by a majority vote of Club Members present after three-fourths of the Officers determine if suspension/termination may be in order. If suspension or expulsion is determined, no refund of membership fees will occur.


after discussing this incident the board voted unanimously to bring this before the membership..


present the incident...up to the second encounter


Roger as usual took the dog on the event


Roger took the dog into the restaurant


It was under the table as usual


the dog barked which alerted the management of a dog in the restaurant


we will continue from that point...


roger continued to eat after the manager left the table


the facts surrounding the initial contact about the dog are not terribly important... resulting response is important...so we will focus primarily on reaction by roger


we are not taking questions or comments until later...


  karen

  mark

  me


emphasis on behavior

    not the issue with the dog


I emailed roger and asked to meet me at taco bell with intention of letting roger tell me what happened


     roger blamed jeff as the instigator for his behavior during the second attempt to remove the dog


     roger claimed no one told him he couldnt take the dog inside


     

     roger said there was not sign


     dogs presence was contrary to california law which they have violated repeatedly and roger admitted he had read california health and safety code regarding animals in food service areas but blamed restaurants for not informing him verbally or with sign at the entrance...the point restaurant is a recent example of ignoring signs

          

     roger was confrontational with me at taco bell...f-bombs...after listIning to his account I asked how this differs so much from other folks versions...claims of not listening to him...no change...Started becoming agitated...Sensing he would not alter his account I said to him that I guess were done...angrily walked off after repeatedly saying to him i am listening...more f-bombs...


From inside his car he rolls down the window>>>>>roger claimed that we the club have been "trying to get rid of us for years"


any more comments from event attendees?


I called an unscheduled board meeting


roger was offered an opportunity to speak to the board to tell us what  happened...no show


roger initiated the lets go outside and ended up raising fists


challenging jeff was inexcuseable and approaching violent


by the way the board voted unanimously to bring this before the membership...


we have 3 choices...

  do nothing

  suspend

  terminate


is there a motion...

  second?


discussion?


secret vote


appoint vote counters
