I came back from my trip to Austin last night, and when I called Dee from the airport, she was crying so heavily I was afraid someone had passed away while I was in flight.
Instead she tells me that a controversy has erupted because beer was brought to a meeting.
Beer. Was brought. To a meeting.
It was not the first time I have witnessed this group drive my wife to the point of tears. In fact, this has been a disturbingly common occurrence since November.
Some might say that perhaps she just has a way of taking things too personally. Regardless, the fact is that she never wanted the position in the first place; she accepted the responsibility because she was asked by several of you to take the position.
Nothing is worth the level of stress I have seen Dee and James face on the behalf of this group. As a final kick in the teeth, it often feels like the reward the group's leaders have gotten for many hours of work on the group's behalf has been constant sniping.
As things stand now, I do not imagine why anyone would be willing to step forward to take the reigns of this group in November, when the current leadership's term ends. I would certainly not recommend the position to anyone, and I would absolutely refuse it myself.
In fact,
I hereby resign as Communications Officer of the Circle of Crescent City Pagans. I will continue to maintain the website and e-list until August 1 or until it is clear who will take over the duties of this position, whichever comes first.
Sincerely,
Tony Roberti
