Dear Valued Customers
I come to you with a saddened heart. I want you all to know that I am officially resigning at The Thrift Store. But in all good conscience can not stay any longer.
Allegedly decisions have been made about the operation of the store and after much thought and prayer I feel that I can no longer continue. I believe these decisions could eventually harm the ability to provide for the main reason of our existence, the taking care of our Dogs and Shelter.
Our whole existence has been for the care of the Dogs. And I and some of my other volunteers feel we are no longer in line with the direction that our organization is headed.
I have spent years in the Thrift Store trying to do what I could to help. I took it over completely at the first of last year and I have worked tirelessly along with my other wonderful volunteers and I’ve enjoyed it but at the same time have stressed, cried, prayed and sometimes yelled about everything. It is not an easy job but I done it loveingly.
I will miss all of our great customers and friends I have made.
This breaks my heart and saddens me deaply.
I know that at times the store has been a little bit of a mess and that the front has been that way here lately but we are all volunteers at the store and all have medical issues that limits how much we can do daily. I am profoundly sorry for that but was planning on working hard every day this week to remedy that.
I was told by text this week that basically I am no longer in charge and that the board will make all future decisions and evidently this is without my opinion counting as anything.
I know I will probably be bad mouthed after this but please remember there are two sides to every story.
I have screen shotted all text messages that I have received from the board collectively and can provide them individually upon request, privately.
Your Loving and Caring Thrift Store Volunteer Manager.
Julie
