Tonight, I went to my third CCW meeting of the year. I had planned on going to more even though I had resigned as treasurer last summer, but the first one in September left a bad taste in my mouth. The president accused me of being incompetent and screwing up the accounts. According to her they were so bad that it would take a lot of work to fix it all. I was taken off guard when she said it so I didn't confront her, but it wouldn't have mattered. It wasn't the first time that she had lied or bad mouthed someone to the group. I decided that I just wouldn't have much to do with CCW for the rest of the year. I didn't have the time or energy to put into a group being led by someone who had treated me poorly and I do not regret that decision. I did attend one more meeting in March. I was surprised to see that the treasurer's report started with the exact account balance that I have given them in August. Even with that validation of my competence, I still had no desire to be a part of the group until there was a new leader.
Thankfully, tonight there was an installation of officers and Robbi would be taking over as president. I was happy for her and knew that she would work hard to make the group a positive experience for all members. It was nice to sit with friends and know that I was valued. That is what I believe most people want from a philanthropic group.
