A HOARDING MENTALITY

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
