Ways To Kill An R/C Model Club 1) Don’t attend meetings, but if you do, arrive late.
2) Be sure to leave before the meeting is over and make
sure everyone hears you leave.
3) Sit in the back so you can talk with other members
during the meeting.
4) Never have anything to say at meetings; wait until you
get outside, then always be
negative.
5) After meetings, find fault with club officers and fellow
members.
6) Hold back your annual dues as long as possible, or
better yet, don’t pay at all.
7) Never accept an office or serve on a committee. It is
much easier to criticize than to
do.
8) When everything else fails, abuse the club’s officers.
9) Don’t bother enlisting new members; let the others do it
all.
10) At meetings, agree to everything, then go home and do
nothing.
11) Don’t tell the club how its policy can help you, but if
it doesn’t help you, tell
everyone else it’s useless.
12) Do nothing more than what’s necessary, but when other
members roll up their
sleeves and willingly use their ability to help matters along, complain that the club is being run by a clique or dictator.
13) Talk cooperation but never cooperate.
14) Get all that the club has to give but give nothing in
return.
15) Threaten to leave the club if something isn’t the way
you want it.
16) If you’re asked to help, always say you don’t have
time.
17) Never read any mailings or seek information. You might
find out what’s going on.
18) If appointed to a position, never devote any time to
it. Let someone else do it all.
19) Overlook your own shortcomings and concentrate on what
they are not doing.
20) Repeat all the unpleasant things about your club to
anyone who will listen.
21) Always criticize club officers whenever the opportunity arises. Posted: Aug. 21, 2004 |
