I need some advice...

do I think you were right? YES !! I am questioning the whole why now, they must have assumed that you would notice it so having an audit done is an yes and if people have a problem with that, would they rather see a empty account and lots of scandal for your school. I would get your principal involved and your super if needed, this has potential to be a huge huge issue!

Hello...
I am from Pennsylvania and our GPO is having a serious problem..similar to this one. I took the term of Vice President in our voting meeting in May. On August 12, 2007 it was brought to my attention that money has been taken from our organization ..a substantial amount of $7000.00. The people that brought this to my attention was the past president and the newly elected president. To make a long story short they both have known about this incident since January 2007. I was astounded to learn about this incident for one and immediately resigned as Vice President for the reason of hiding this information so long. I however, brought this incident to the attention of only the members of our organization, not mentioning any names, but wanted to let them know of what was going on with this organization. At the meeting where I resigned, which only included the officers, no members, I asked them to show me where the monies had been put back, which they said were put back. They refused to show me this information and that is my main reason for going to all the other members. I emailed all members to have a special meeting to try to get to the bottom of this, and the past president was there amongst approx. 15 members of which only 5 were on my side, and it turned out that I was the bad guy for emailing my resignation to all members. All I mentioned in my resignation was "Due to past practices, of which I do not agree, that I can not continue to be involved as Vice President of this organization. I would really like some advice if you have any to tell me what I should do. I was a very strong volunteer last year and would continue to volunteer, but was truly looking forward to taking office, but I just felt this was the best thing to do until this is straightened out. I feel an audit should be done and new officers in. The person that accepted office as the new president new entirely of what was going on since January 07, and think this has been handled so wrong. Please, I need advice. Did I do the right thing? Should I have not emailed the members?
Thanks so much
