After 12 years I have to say good bye. Ive always been respectful I almost never posted anything for sale ,95% times on the buying side the few people that know me know i keep it as respectful as anyone can be. ive notice that the interaction has been on the decline for many years,never stopped and thought why, well now i know. There is absolutely no pros on joining marsh. Because when you do try to use the equipment you get 0 responses ive filled the proper paper work twice and still nothing. So if after 12+ years the mods arent respectful enough to send you a message saying it be a month 2 ,or 3. then they really dont care but they sure do enjoy the yearly dues. It really is a shame that this place has become this bad .

Have to disagree as well. Before I was a moderator, I used the par meter about 6 times and always got a response when I messaged the correct staff member according to the par meter post.
Sorry to see you go

Let me bring this upon the BOD and see what is going on. It's usually not like that at all. Sorry to hear this!

feels like y’all think I’m lying. There is absolutely no reason I would be lying for. If in 12 years there never been a complain Or any kind of issue why would I start now. It’s nice that y’all get answers and y’all can disagree. For people that don’t believe me ask about me Jose Gloria is my name , you can ask 90% of the local store they will tell what kind of person I am.

Even if I’m not fully engaged in the discussions , I supported the local Club for this long . If in this time the only thing I have asked for is to borrow the par meter (which is part of the membership)and I cannot even get a No then .The decision was made for me. .

If it was for the north side par meter I’m sorry. My mom has been in/out of the ICU over the past couple of months. Have some more important issues I’m dealing with. However I have been checking mail and don’t recall seeing one for you. I did clean up mail in early August and may have removed it by accident.

sincerely,

Steve Baring

Steveb, sorry to hear this and I hope everything comes out good ,truly. I understand we are all living in different times. That is why I made the request to 2 of the individuals. I wouldn’t have mind driving .

I can explain what happen.....

during the first couple of weeks in August, JotForm our form provider had blacklisted yahoo and aol. Since the member had an email from one of those email providers it’s possible the request was never received. That issue has since been resolved.

To be clear, all supporting members are entitled to borrow the par meter anytime they would like. In most cases it is readily available. If for some reason you find it difficult to get the par meter or do not receive a response after requesting it, please reach out to a BOD member directly. If we don’t have enough par meters we will get more.

Did you try to reach out to other BOD members or post (just like this) on the board. It is a possibility that the person was busy at the time, but most BOD’s check their PM’s excluding Cody. :)

I personally dont remember seeing any request but since I dont handle the par meter may have not noticed it. The new one seems to think we
get some personal benefit by being on the board and that we get the money. The fact is its just the opposite. Examples when we work reef currents
all volunteers get s shirt or other gifts as thanks. where the board works 30 to a 100 hrs and we get nothing. Just like bingo night we were not allowed to
win prizes even though some spent dozens of hours setting it up. We all have lives too so a little bit more understanding will go a long way.

I know I'm a couple days late to this conversation but there's a par meter thread on the main forum page. You fill out the form and then someone contacts you. I think you get an automated email when the form goes through as well.
