To all of my CIWW friends.
I have made the difficult decision to not renew my membership in this organization. I truly value the friendships I have acquired over the years and I thoroughly enjoyed leading the club and hopefully making it better.
The past few years have been difficult for me to watch the leaders of this club ask more and more of you in order to continue to raise money for reasons that have never been documented. When I asked what the money was for I was told that I didn’t need to know! I have never agreed with us running a “Craft Fair” at the State Fair especially at the detriment of our toy program. This year we didn’t make 10,000 toys even though we have over triple the membership. Our motto was never “The Land of almost 10,000 toys.
I feel our leaders have lost focus of the mission and have asked way too much of the members.
The final straw was the events that lead to the title of this thread.
I wish you all well and will miss seeing your smiling faces on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
