know, there were a few times when Llywelyn and I didn't get our reports into the
Scroll in time, and they just weren't in there. I think the solution of
setting a deadline and sticking with it is a good and wise
decision.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=234560421-20122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If the
officers are reporting to their Regional deputy on time, they should be able to
send a copy to the Chronicler - on time. If they can't do a simple e-mail, or
cut and paste from their regional report, then perhaps they need to step down
and find another officer to fulfill their duties. Having the report in the
Scroll is a good back-up to prove that you <STRONG>have</STRONG> been reporting
on a regular basis. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

and honest discussion of the problems is not an attack on the individual, but a
way for the "family" that is Elfsea to be able to discuss their problems and to
find a solution. Truth can hurt, but not as much as pretending that problems
don't exist.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

you can't do the job - LET IT GO!! There is no stain on one's honor
for stepping down when you can no longer perform an office. There are
problems, though, when you repeatedly bite off more than you can chew.

lambasting Sabine, We all know a little about her ambitions and
goals. She has set a very high goal for herself. and NOBODY is
lambasting her. We were simply having a question and answer.
If we cannot answer questions ,without someone getting defensive.
Then what good is this list. <BR><BR>However, I feel, that
all the officers are adults and know when the Scroll deadline is, If
they cannot get their reports in by the deadline. Then go to
press and leave theirs out. That is basicly what the past
chroniclers have done. And still got news letter out on time.
<BR><BR>Just mine and mine opinion alone. So if anyone wants to lambast
me the do so privately. <BR><BR>Innes </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
