Jeanne Grant, please let us know who you really are. None of the members of MHAA have heard of you so I assume you are writing under a pseudonym. John Enns posted his comments under his own name and so did I. It sounds like you were or are a member of the Board to be privy to such information as tears at a Board meeting. Come on, fess up.

I was a volunteer for the curator at MOM working under Rachael Swarthout during most of 2011. In December 2011, she told me to take a vacation and "they would advise me when they needed me again." Needless to say, I never received an invitation back. I was later told that I was dismissed because "I was a spy for the other side." I never knew there were sides in MHAA. I don't believe Rachael acted on her own to dismiss me without the approval or suggestion of the Executive Director. Who in the world fires volunteers, especially those whose work has been greeted with appreciation. Emily Griffith
