My request to LCI to post on Facebook

Here is one of the many emails to LCI that was not responded to.
This email was written in April 2017.

I shall wait until April 2018 for an alternative dispute resolution.

Dear Friends,

I have decided to posts articles on Facebook and hope my friends on FB can do something to get you guys at LCI to act.

This is getting ridiculous where my emails are not even acknowledged receipt by you.

I will post the following on FB tomorrow,with your consent, if I don't hear anything from you.

I will subsequently post my emails to you from as far back as December 2016 which were not responded to either.

My post on FB tomorrow:

Standard Club Constitution and By-Laws - Lions Clubs International

Below are some salient points I copied from the Lions Constitution for us to study together.

Under article ii it states:

(e) To provide a forum for the open discussion of all matters of public interest; provided, however, that partisan politics and sectarian religion shall not be debated by club members

My comment: I believe FB is another forum for open discussion and this matter is of public interest.

(f) To encourage civic- minded people to serve their community without personal financial reward, and to encourage efficiency and promote high ethical standards in commerce, industry, professions, public works and private endeavours.

Article X is on Club Dispute Resolution Procedure

All disputes arising between any member or members, or a former member or members, and the club, or any officer of the board of the club, relative to membership, or the interpretation, breach of or application of the club’s constitution and by-laws, or the expulsion of any member from the club, or any other internal Lions club matter whatsoever which cannot be satisfactorily resolved through other means shall be settled by dispute resolution. …………………………

……………….. A complaint filed under this procedure must be accompanied by a US$50.00 filing fee or equivalent in the respective national currency, payable by each complainant to the district which shall be submitted to the District Governor at the time the complaint is filed…………..

………..Within 15 days of receipt of the complaint, the District Governor shall appoint a neutral conciliator to hear the dispute……………

…………………… Upon being appointed, the conciliator shall arrange a meeting of the parties for the purpose of conciliating the dispute. ………………..

Failure to comply with the final and binding decision of the conciliator constitutes conduct unbecoming a Lion and is subject to loss of membership privileges and/or charter cancellation.

My comment: I had given the DG  a letter requesting for CDRP together with RM320* being Malaysian Ringgit equivalent. She had said that she will take the money later and I have a witness to that event.

I have kept LCI informed of all these happening and LCI is also playing this ‘I will not respond’ game. I will mail this post as well as all subsequent posts to LCI as well and see if they have anything to say.

* This was a transposition error. It should have be written as RM230. Error regretted.
