Questions - Student Org Night

[Jake]

We could be doing so much with the club, the car community is massive. At the moment though, everything is just kinda "flobbery" to use Clarkson's words. I honestly haven't heard about any important events from any of the officers, most of the events and things posted on the website are coming from alumna. Hell, the forums start page wasn't even updated until literally a few days ago, which is pretty disconcerting.

We started doing stuff with other clubs in VA and keeping in touch with them. No idea where that stands since last May.

I found it in poor form that 1) I had to start the thread about VIR February and 2) I provided all four officers instructions (with screen shots, even) on how to update the home page back in July, and saw nothing until a few days ago. Seriously, it's WordPress. Log in, hit New Post, and done. It literally takes two minutes, at most.

There's just so much... infighting among the officers, it makes it difficult to get anything done. You guys weren't helicopter parents, you were basically life support haha.

It seems like there's fighting and a lack of enthusiasm. C'mon guys, you ran for office with the understanding that this was work that required enthusiasm. I'm about 102% sure I said at the elections meeting that "this was akin to a full time job" so you knew what you were getting into. Things ran as well as they did because the four of us poured our all into it.

I can't be an MM Helicopter Parent forever. I'm doing it now because I can't stand to see what we built fall apart. It's exhausting. I'm tired of the bullshit, I'm tired of the lip service. All I want is to show up to VIR and meet students for dinner on Friday night. I want to see seven students at the worker meeting on Saturday morning, bleary-eyed from staying at the Innkeeper. I want to buy a round of drinks at the Tavern that night after everyone worked/drove/rode all day.

But you know, I can't see or do any of that if nobody shows up.
