Flowerdale Kindergarten AGM

One wonders why a single male would want to be a member of a Kindergarten Fundraising Committee ? Is it the need to be seen ? Is it the need to serve ? Is there another reason ? Maybe, just maybe it is because it is the only committee in the Flowerdale Valley that does not have someone from the Flowerdale Community Recovery Committee ("CRC") on it ?


Let's hypothesise for a moment ...

Now, if a CRC, with a closed membership, was to have at least one member of the CRC on the committee of every organisation within a community, would this mean that they just might consider themselves capable of making decisions autocratically ? Would this mean that they may not see the need to consult the community or consider what the community wants ? Would this mean that the CRC members, who belonged to the community organisations, could represent these organisations at CRC meetings without the need to involve anyone else from the community ?


One can only hope that this could not happen, but remember the questions that were asked at the beginning.

The only committee that does not have a member of the Flowerdale CRC sitting on it, in the Flowerdale Valley, is the Kindergarten Fundraising Committee and Peter Auty, a member of the Flowerdale CRC, is eager to become a committee member ... so eager, in fact, that he arrived at one meeting with two car loads of males, to vote him in as President. This meeting was the Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), which had to be rescheduled due to the unconstitutional manner in which Peter attempted to obtain this position.

The AGM has been re-scheduled to occur next week, on 20 April, and Peter has made it known that he "wants another go". Does Peter have a desire to be involved in cake bakes and lamington drives, or does he want "to do his bit" in ensuring total control by the Flowerdale CRC ?

Think about it and draw your own conclusions.

Oh, and whilst you are pondering this, consider that the Kindergarten Fundraising Committee AGM is the only AGM we can find evidence of being openly advertised on the Flowerdale Blogsite. Even though the Kindergarten committee has advertised it in the same manner as all other committees in the Flowerdale Valley, the CRC who control this blogsite, have seen fit to remind everyone that the AGM is on.

We know what we think ...
