Website Sort of Online Sometimes, SEIU Legal Troubles, Plus BORED MEETING TODAY

Readers might think we misspelled "board", but they'll see how right we were tonight...

First:  The KBOO website is sorta up and running.  This Screenie shows that while we can get to it, there's nothing there.

 No programs, no contact info, no blogs, no schedules.  This could be a problem!

  Let's check in with our new NEW web consultants and see what they have to say:

(Um, er, someone give the web developers some more bananas and ask the question again...)

MOVING ON, Comrade Welp's free union legal advice may not be worth much.

Timmy Welp is a staff member at the SEIU where today's board meeting will take place:

The SEIU has found itself in legal hot water after a judge said SEIU was engaged in "regular, sustained and ongoing" violations of state laws governing nonprofit corporations.  Not exactly an organization that's in any position to give KBOO, already a troubled Non-profit, more bad Non-profit advice.  Trust us, the Inner Party is a closed shop on bad Non-profit advice.

Oregon's largest union grapples with messy lawsuit from former president

Oregon's largest union, which represents thousands of state workers and is one of the state's most powerful political forces, is embroiled in a messy legal dispute with one of its former leaders over how the organization should be governed.
A Salem judge has ruled that Local 503 of the Service Employees International Union has violated the state's nonprofit laws by failing to hold annual membership meetings, withholding certain records from members and improperly trying to change its corporate structure.

Boy does that sound familiar! We'll be watching this breaking story and hoping it will sorta go away and everyone will forget A SEIU STAFF MEMBER IS INVOLVED WITH ANOTHER NON PROFIT DOING THE SAME SLEAZY THINGS.  Let's just all forget that.

So back to WEBCHIMPGATE....

Digging through whois records, kboo.fm was once registered care of Arthur Davis under the manager@kboo.org email:

While Davis is gone, some idiot failed to remove the email address from KBOO's whois.  The last known person with that email address was EVIL FITCH:

"please contact Lynn Fitch, 503.231.8032 x222 or manager@kboo.org"

Questions arise about the exact nature of the KBOO's website problems and the delay in fixing them.  It's too bad no one at KBOO can talk to Fitch about this because, as Timmy Welp said last meeting, any contact with Fitch without a doctor's release, before September, would not be appropriate (click or rt-click on image to enlarge):

Wonder if/when/howlong the website will remain active?

Want to ask  Timmy Welp what his Union Legal advice is worth?(Didn't he say a lawyer wasn't needed?)

Want to give a web developer a banana?


Then come on down to the board meeting to night as blogged here:

 http://savekboofromsavekboo.blogspot.com/2013/07/board-meeting-moved-to-union-hall-while.html

 This no way has anything to do with board member Timothy Welp appointed as new employee negotiator.  Nothing at all.  Stop thinking that.  In fact, forget you just read it.

The new location for the August 6th board meeting is:

Public Notice
KBOO Board of Directors Meeting for August 2013
Tuesday, August 6th, 2013, 6pm
SEIU Local 503 Union Hall 6401 SE Foster Rd
Portland, OR

 Always helpful, we'll add the phone number and website for readers.  Never know when they might come in handy:

(503) 235-5071

 seiu503.org

Several things NOT to do at tonight's meeting:

Do NOT make a collection jar to help fund the website development and then fill it with bananas.

Do NOT at every uncertain pause, casually sigh, loudly saying, "Oh Welp."

Do NOT do either one of these things.

This is a SERIOUS meeting, with SERIOUS BUSINESS.  We're trying to impress the Union folks that we're a perfectly sane non profit with no bi-polar chemtrail induced foil hat craziness. Damn it, we know it's extreme!  But it's the only way we'll con competent people into helping us fix this mess at KBOO!  

Crap, guess this means Lisa and Ani have to be left behind.

OH WELP!

UPDATE:   Timmy Welp has thrown his support behind Keep KBOO as KBOO aka KKK!  See it in his likes at Facebook :

Now that says credibility!
