I think what you are referring to is:
The TC meeting was at 6:30 pm at the Municipal Building where the TC meetings are normally held. It was adjourned by around 7:05 pm
The Parks meeting was at the Town Hall upstairs at 7:00 pm. I arrived around 7:15 pm. G.D. walked into the room at 7:30, made a bunch of noise getting herself a chair by the door.
As soon as she sat down, she realized none of the TC members were present. She asked the person next to her if this was the TC meeting, and was told no, this was the Parks meeting. She got a real surprised look on her face, and left.

My curiosity was KILLING me!
Hmmm.... she must have missed the memo.

Can we start moving them around every month???
Ok... I'll be a kind and helpful southerner cause I had some good home trainin':
G.D. ~~ I got my info about the meeting times and places for BOTH meetings off of the town website.
http://www.summerfield-nc.com/
AND off of this forum.... You see, we are proving to be a very good source of info...
If you'd only thought to check the web on ASH Wednesday........

I received the statement below in an e-mail from Becky Strickland, who said I could post it in its entirety. I will also post it on the Town Council thread.
"I have a job I was elected by the citizens to do on November 8 and have had no formal training for it. It is now January 12 and I have already sat at 2 regular council meetings and at least 2 special meetings. The first Tuesday of each month I am asked to vote on crucial Town matters including re-zonings and land use involving many legal Ordinances. In order to serve the citizens properly, it is critical that not another meeting go by before I am formally trained as a Council member. An ethical issue arose this week, which I will make public at next meeting, which I did not know how to handle because I have not had the benefit of training. If training had been held at all anywhere in the State in December, I would have gone then. It is a necessity--not a luxury.
This month the 3-day training is in Wrightsville Beach and Rocky Mount, respectively. I chose Rocky Mount for taxpayer reasons. The costs for lodging at Wrightsville Beach are astronomical compared to Rocky Mount.
I do have family near Rocky Mount and will be combining this trip with a family visit. Therefore, I will not be asking the taxpayers for mileage reimbursement, which would be significant. Nor will I ask for meal reimbursement as I would have to eat anyway regardless of where I am. I do not think 3-nights lodging and seminar registration fees are an unreasonable Town expense under the circumstances. The Town Administrator or Clerk can give the nay-sayers the exact dollar figures. Taxes do and will continue to factor into all my decisions while a Summerfield Town Council member, as they did in this one. I simply must be formally trained to do my job as soon as possible, and Rocky Mount is the quickest and most frugal site."

I thought she and her bubbies were the nay-sayers. Tell it to them, they believe that hogwash.
Or is it they can dish it out, but can't take it.

Quote from a book I am reading titled "Don't Pee on My Leg & Tell Me It's Raining"
Political & Racial Racketeers: Where is your constituency?
One of the depressing realities of our society is that a few ideologues with loud voices seem to have a disproportionate influence over our lives. They accomplish this with intimidation. If you have the audacity to disagree with them publicly, there is no reasoned debate.
They give you a label and you are supposed to capitaulate, or tuck your tail between your legs & fade away. Being a bully is one of the oldest - and most effective - scams around.
You can rob people blind, until they realize that you are full of baloney.
Gee - who does THIS sound like ?????????

You know, Lacka, I think he IS behaving... And if he's not, I think that is okay anyway...Part of the problem with folks like these is just what he pointed out... They count on people backing down (being nice/behaving).
