I see the possibilities and I cry at the reality The potential existing Blindsided by ignorance and ego All suggestions are ignored Blown off with a whimsical excuse There is an attraction to the bizarre Keeping items that are undesirable Giving away needed items to other organizations Garbage is accepted and priced without reason A fisherman may buy a diseased ice bucket for fishing bait Legitimate offers are refused for items that won’t sell Potential customers leave forever Store layout is a nightmare Fixtures being used belong in dumpsters Dumpsters are raided for merchandise discarded Volunteers are exasperated The voice of the dictator/director is paralyzing No one knows what to do except Call another meeting; nothing is accomplished The desire to write for grants remains a desire This after two years of wishing The Board of Directors is dysfunctional There is no business plan Monies are handled improperly There is on accountability A hoarding mentality exists A kitchen without running water Washer and Dryer machines not hooked up Funds provided to buy the building, but The building is not paid for What happened to the money? The Board of Directors should call for an audit We must survive Stanski February 20, 2020 ^
