coldhardtruth,
Comparing CESA to the Bridge FA is an apples/oranges thing. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but CESA was formed as the result of a merger - two clubs joined and became one. The Bridge is an Alliance - the Alliance members are still separate and unique.
You sound like the typical whining and complaining parent who pays your child’s fees, then thinks your job is done; offering no help, but always being the first one to jump up and state “the facts” about everything that is wrong with the organization.
Maybe you just were not aware that the clubs (SSC and JI) cannot survive without volunteers. When was the last time you helped out at a field day, ran the concession stand on a game day, or just picked up trash while your child was practicing?
Regarding parents and players having no say in the decision...this is untrue. While parents may not have had a vote, they certainly had a say. Last time I checked, the Board of Directors (at SSC) meets the first Wednesday of each and every month. I’d be willing to bet that you have never attended any of these meetings. And, again, all of the people making the decisions at the club and keeping the club running are VOLUNTEERS.
If you sincerely want to make a difference, I believe there is an opening for a position at SSC – feel free to jump in there anytime.
Either you have jumped into this discussion really, really late, or you just don’t quite understand what the Bridge is about, or both.
To everyone else on this bulletin board, I will now step down from my soap box.
To coldhardtruth, PUT UP or SHUT UP!!!
