Stolen from an Aux sister. Sad, but true
Found on Wisconsin's VFWA page.. this applies to all organizations, churches, and friends.
THE MEMBER WHO NEVER CAME BACK
It amuses me to think that your group spends so much time
looking for new members when I was there all the time.
Do you remember me? I'm the person you asked to join.
I paid my dues and was asked to be a loyal and faithful member.
I'm the person who came to every meeting but nobody paid
any attention to me. I tried to be friendly
but everyone seemed to have their own friends to talk and sit with.
I sat with different people several times but they
did not pay much attention to me.
I hoped somebody would ask me to join one of the
committees or do something but no one did.
Finally, because of illness I missed a meeting. When I came again no
one asked me where I had been.
I guess it did not matter much whether I came or not.
Next time I decided to stay home and watch a good TV show.
When I came back again no one asked where I was the month before.
You might say I'm a good person, fun loving and religious,
You know what else I am?
I'm the member who never came back.
