Not that THEY did anything wrong... but as a club president I'm somewhat concerned when my fellow members are (albeit only by association) on a "team" involved in controversy. I've dealt with my share of controversies - nothing good comes from them and if they are substantiated it reflects poorly on a "recreational" organization.

To be honest Dennis, I'm somewhat surprised to see you go down this road. Not only are you aware Sean is not a member of the club but there is also the fact that your implications may rub some of the members the wrong way. Perhaps this is a subject that would be better discussed at a meeting or in a newsletter. I would guess there are some folks you are associated with that have made poor decisions in the past. If you decided to abandon them as a result of poor judgement so be it. I can't see a personal friend of the accused turning their back on him as a result of the allegations. Nor do I anticipate a member sponsoring Sean for membership. I would venture to guess no one would have even put the pieces together unless you had brought it up. If you are afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the Newport Club perhaps more discretion would be advised.
