Go Go Goooal:
No argument with most of what you said in your last posting, except:
It is not true that NECSA will not consider a merger. NECSA has seriously discussed mergers in the past and will talk to anyone, anywhere about a merger.
Decisions not to merge in the past have not been based on the desire to maintain power. These decisions have been made based on what we thought was best for the children who play soccer in our club.
People may disagree with our decisions, but they should not question our motives. If a merger makes sense for our kids, we'll vote "yes".
Personally (not speaking for others on the board), I would love to turn things over to a merged board. Maybe I could get my nights and weekends back and not have to put up with all of the *****ing and other problems.
