Hello All,

I assume that you got this and are wondering what is going on, so, here is the story.

First of all, I have not scheduled any meetings or events since I wanted to get this resolved so I could continue to operate as NH Director. However, I am one of the leaders who has been terminated by MCDC, so won't be doing this for now. In spite of all the rhetoric and other bs put out by Chris Simcox in the announcement, we were terminated simply for have the audacity to have a meeting among ourselves (several state directors and some national directors) to discuss some long unresolved issues with MCDC, and then requested a meeting with Chris to address the issues. There never was any attempt to take over MCDC or discredit any of its members.

Chris has sent accusatory letters to some of us, and has called some of us in attempts to split us up. We have continued to tell him that all we want is a meeting to address some of the issues but he has continued, in typical Chris fashion, to make excuses, deny our reality, and lie or be in denial about the situation. In the days ahead you may hear all kinds of things, and it may get ugly in the media. If you get calls from the media, please do not try to answer questions about this, but refer them to either me or Bob Wright, former national chapter director, since we are the spokesmen for our group of former directors.

I am available if you want to talk about this and will meet with you at your convenience. Or, feel free to call at my cell phone 603 512-8935, since one of the first things headquarters did two weeks ago was to cut off my 583-4399 phone. As to what you should personally do as regards your membership in MCDC, that is your call. If any of you wants to assume leadership of the NH Chapter, please contact Chris Simcox, since I'm sure that he is anxious to replace the eight state directors he terminated. Or if you just want to give him hell for being such a jerk, be my guest. In any case, I think that he should be hearing from the membership.

Regards,

Ron
