Professionals that can not be produced? I thought the State Archivist that spent 4 hours there was a Professional. Guess I must be drinking that Kool-aid that you cant shut up about. I guess the Sloan Museum Archive Specialist is not a professional. I guess that the Consultant that is working with the Depot that has had past clients such as Yale University, Dow Corporation, Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and has given/written over 100 presentations/publications on Archival Collections is not a professional.
Hmm, so wahat esactly are your qualifications?
Oh, and you do remember that Jean Sloan DIED right?
Oh, and being forced to resort to use the special ed kids? What is wrong with you?
Number 1, I would pick the consumers from Community Mental Health over you any day. They dont live in the past. Number 2, Those VOLUNTEERS, not forced work, love volunteering at the Depot and look forward to it and work their butts off to help in any way they can.
So lets see, oh the Attic Room, another Jean Sloan thing, and as DR mentioned, this board is still working to undo the things past boards have done. Brooks is not in charge anymore, Sloan DIED, her lapdog Boggs as you so elegantly put it in another post is no longer on the board, and the Ovid-Elsie group has left also. Hmm, seems to me like thats the group that did the attic room, not the current board, and when you have a majority of the board on the Archives commitee, of course they are going to approve something like that. Even if everyone else votes NO, it still passes.
Oh, and that room is nowhere near being over the archives room? Do you even look at the building or just open your mouth about it?
What is sad to me is someone who cant let things go from the past. What is sad is someone who only chirps in when things go wrong. What is sad is someone who states facts that are not true only to stir up a fire.
The board has not cut ties with CN, in fact they got a new grant this year from CN.
Travel Committee, hmm, those would be those unsuccessful fundaisers you talk about right? Oh, the same ones that brought in thousands of dollars for the depot? The same one whos guest list includes, donors, raffle ticket buyers, lifetime members. Guess they dont give anything to the depot, do they....
I will admit, some of the fundraisers done, do not bring in much, but they bring in people. Yeah, that does not keep the door open, but it at least shows those people that we are still fighting to keep them open. Plus, every dollar we bring in is another dollar we did not have before. Yeah, there is not alot of money at the end of 2008, but I am sure plenty of people out there have better things to do with their money at the moment, like feed their families during tough times.
Just like the new President, he is not going to change or fix everything in a few weeks, or even months. It takes time. But I guess some people just don't get that and would rather argue and complain about it.
Thank you DR for noticing the difference in things being done around the Depot.
Sd70accsxt700, if you are ever in Durand, I am sure that we would love to show you around and be able to show you tht we are doing things for change. Dont beleive everything people write. You dont even have to beleive me if you dont want to. Just make sure you are making your decision based on the right facts, the ones you have to figure out yourself to know that they are correct.
have a WONDERFUL day.
