Then again, you could take it as a chance to join in the region and help it get better, rather than claiming "it sux" or "is lame"... Last time I checked, ALL PCA regions are run by VOLUNTEERS.. not some paid committee who earn their keep by putting on events simply for your pleasure.

Well, that was a fairly quick slam without bothering to ascertain the nexus of my comment nor which chapter I speak of. Since you have obviously have some strong feelings about this then perhaps I should comment further. I did join the local chapter in Oct. of last year. Since that time, I have been unable to get a regular on-time newsletter via snail mail. As for receiving the newsletter on the local chapter's website, you can take a look for yourself to ascertain the last time it was updated
here . It would be great to attend a membership meeting but I can't even find out when that occurs. I need to find out when events occur so I can plan to attend as I am not psychic.
So then, onto the merits and value of a PCA membership. I actually read the mission statement on the national website. I have also read the regional membership chairs guidance. I can tell you those expectations are not being met here in this local chapter. Had I known the local chapter was practically non-existent, I would not have joined. I'm not sure what the standards are for keeping a chapter open but whatever they may be, they are probably not being met here.
As for your assertion that I failed to proffer myself for anything other than an event that "serves my pleasure", I take exception. You should probably hold fast with such comments. You know nothing of me nor anything that I might or might not have volunteered for. So next time you feel the need to try and impugn someones integrity in public, try and get a little more information so you have all the facts first. Besides, you actually might get a chance to meet me in person soon enough as I will be moving to the Potomac chapter's location this summer. If comments like that persist from you, our introduction might prove somewhat awkward.
Cheers
