Somebody Get Me The Names Of These Board Members


CBC;
...two children were kicked out of the [Regina Optimist Dolphin Swim Club] after their mother sent a fax to the organization's auditor, asking questions about the finances.

[A group of parents] say they're worried the same thing will happen to their families if they speak out.

Andrea Mac Murray faxed the letter anonymously from a Regina shopping mall.

According to a letter obtained by CBC, club officials discovered she was the one who had sent it. Mac Murray says somebody accessed the surveillance video from the shopping mall.

"Earlier this week, the Dolphins board sent a letter to members reminding them of a club policy that requires they only say positive things about the club in public".



This little band of merry pissants is quite the little 'club' alright.

In an email to members, sent Thursday afternoon, club president Nick Egarhos said: "The Board has always strived to maintain a culture of openness, insofar as our handbook allows, and will not be drawn into a mud-wrestling match in the 6:00 news."

CBC has asked the club for comment on these latest developments but has received no response.

A March 31, 2014 letter from the club's bookkeeper indicates that an extensive audit of the organization's books began on November 8, 2013.

In the letter, Patricia Palaschuk said "questions raised by Auditor have been extremely detailed looking at all aspects of the club and all activities large and small."

Palaschuk said "the audit is not being delayed because the Board has something to hide from the members."

She explained that it's taking so long because there have been so many concerns raised by members, which require examination.

"I struggle to understand why members feel compelled to send anonymous faxes to auditors or engage legal council to address issues."

In his Thursday afternoon letter, Egarhos said "we are confident that the audit will show that there are no financial improprieties or concerns, a myth that a small faction has repeatedly alleged in the hopes that good people will begin to believe it."

CBC has also obtained a letter Palaschuk sent to Information Services Corporation requesting an extention to file the organization's financial statements on May 31, 2014. However, Palaschuk sent the letter on March 31, more than 2 weeks after the corporation had been struck.

An email from the Ministry of Justice explains that once a corporation is struck there can be consequences.

"The loss of the corporation’s “active” status may impact the corporation’s ability to qualify for grants or funding, apply for various licenses, deal with banks, remain as a registered charity within the meaning of income tax legislation."

Some concerned members are now calling for an immediate meeting with the board to discuss their many concerns.

"We want things to be done in a transparent manner and with good governance," explained Katz. "Those are two fundamental rights that everybody has when they're a member of a club."

In Egarhos' letter, he said "my goal as president is to re-instate a culture of respect and civility amongst the membership, and enforce the code of conduct if necessary."

Duhhhh! Maybe due to the fact that they were afraid of their kids getting the boot from the club, which is exactly what happened?
