The Glee club, The Lion's Club, or POCI there is going to be politics involved. This is necessary
so that club matters get done. Someone has to make decisions in any organization and invariably there are folks who disagree with those decisions because every human being is different. Very rarely are club officers out to get anybody or make someone else's life
miserable......they are just doing their best to do their job the best way they know how.
Invariably in any club there is a small faction who hates the officers guts and who make trouble for everyone else in the organization. The motivation for the hatred could be a personality clash or just plain jealousy. The fact of the matter is that some people don't
work well with others and should not belong to a club because they don't have the personality
required to get along with others who don't share their viewpoints. The POCI officers I have
met over the years were believe it or not just trying to help the club the best way they
knew how. Just like all people shouldn't belong to a club, not all people should be in an
officer position as they don't have the personal skills for it. To those who have dropped
out, I would say that if you don't have enthusiasm for the organization, then you did yourself and the organization a favor by dropping out. I've heard the same gripes about
POCI since the mid eighties......all of the complaints in this thread are thirty five years
old. Those of you who like this forum better than belonging to a club probably feel this way
because in this forum there are no officers making decisions that you disapprove of. That's
OK for an internet forum but in the real world there are people above you in rank that have
to make decisions, a lot of which you probably won't agree with.

You just answered the question. Have your club and your declining enrollment ya arrogant prick. I will just drive my car and enjoy it.
