Camp Honor revisited

Today is the day.....

On May 10th we appealed to the Board of Directors and gave our case. The camper sub-committee also wrote a 3 page letter detailing their decision. Who won?

We did. At least in theory. The Board of Directors was not going to tell the camper sub-committee to change the policies but the Board of Directors unanimously recommended the committee "grandfather" in those children who attended camp last year but will not be 8 this year by the cut-off date. The caveat is conditional on availible space for all three campers affected by the new age policy. So if the camp fills up they still won't be able to go to camp.

I'm one of those people that need to understand why rules are made, when they were made, and what had to have happened for rules to be made. YES, I touched the hot stove.

The Board also recomended 2 other changes:

1. A standard date be used to determine eligibility instead of the first day of camp they currently use.
2. The Camp Committee put its policies in writing re: its responsibilities and authority and that of its sub-committees.

..... So why is today the day? The Board put it back on the Camper Committee to decide to grandfather in these three kids. The Camper Committee is meeting today to discuss if they want to follow the recomemdations of the Arizona Hemophilia Association's Board of Directors or to ignore the Board's recomendations and continue with their current policies.

Now that all the lights are on, I'm ready to accept what happens next. I might not like the decision, but at least it is out in the open.
