Our past presidents term ended in May of 2007 and back in September of 2006 she was advised that the board and some parents were wanting to interview some new vendors for our 2007 fall fundraiser. She was then reminded again in October that their were some vendors that the board would like to review. The president at the time, said that we have use the company that we have used for many years -lets see if he will match the "new companies" and or can offer new products. November comes and she is asked again as a follow up and the board is advised that a "contract" had already been signed and we have to use him for 2007 but if the new president at that time (being myself) would like to persue diffrent vendors for 2008-09we could do so at that time. So I took over in June 2007 and requested a copy of the "contract" from both the company and the past president. I made several requests until finally I advised the fundraising company that if I do not receieve a cc of the "contract", the 2007-08 board will assume no contract exsisted. So with in 8 hours I had 2 copies and it was NOT a contract it was an "agreement" and proved that the 2006 president was not truthful about when she signed. She didn't sign until January 2007 - So the board requested that we vote and it was unanimous that we use a diffrent vendor, so I notified the company that we would not be using them this year. The owner of the comapny requested our non profit to pay him 1500.00 for thr brochures he has ordered - I advised him I researched this and he could use those brochures with any group. But because he has been used by the school for several years he assummed he was the company we were using and flat refused to find other groups for the brochures and also sent me a letter that states " He works to send his children to college and I am effecting that. He is very aggressive. Has anyone else encoutered something like this??
