McDaniel Resigns

Just twenty eight days after publicly stating that he will “get back to helping the Copperopolis veterans establish a VFW post there, as it has been and continues  to be a honor in being involved in” Michael McDaniel has resigned his position as interim Vice Commander and requested all documents be returned and his name removed from the post formation roster.

McDaniels sited lack of communication and access to involvement.

Current interim Commander Al Gilbert stated that communication is the cornerstone to a well run organization and that minutes of meetings are emailed to each member;  that possibly the lack of communication came from McDaniels absence at multiple meetings where McDaniels was to have been “in charge” and the subsequent following meetings where information was distributed. Gilbert also felt that the lack of McDaniels presence at many of the meetings “conveyed to the other Veterans McDaniels lack of interest in this endeavor.”
According to Gilbert this will not slow down the forward motion of the VFW formation process, as weekly more interest is expressed in its formation as more people in the community learn of its positive efforts and community involvement.
