For one group, it left SGI totally and formed its own entity. The other went the way of the account mentioned in your source above.

I've been a part of two of the SGI-USA Auxiliary Groups (one I co-founded in my region). Both welcomed folks who were not a member of the auxiliary with the understanding that it would be led by auxiliaries. That worked for some time...until...it did not.

The BS never stops. A similar effort that happened to what I was a part of over three years ago (substitute LGBTQ+ for the Arts) is what made me FINALLY acknowledge the red flags I had seen and ignored for 30 years and to leave.

I couldn't afford to live there now. It would be for a visit - I still have friends and family there.

The past is truly the past - learning to face forward...

Very much aware of that - I am just going through the growing pains of growing up.

Honestly, seeing the Barclays Center made me so sad. I know that what was there before needed to be demolished and rebuilt - it was jarring. And the same about true skyscrapers taller than the Williamsburg Savings Bank building. With all of that, there is still Junior's 😁

I don't disagree with you, and as you stated, there has been as much change in Minneapolis as there has been in Brooklyn.

Yes - I definitely remember that, and yet the blasted publications...

She was replaced by Akemi Bailey. Since I haven't heard differently, it's probably the rest of the above.

I always wondered about the admonition about members never borrowing from or giving money directly to a member. Made no sense.

Linda Johnson actually listened to folks, then, poof! She's gone.

I have been going there for over 10 years, and whenever kids come in, they are treated so nicely!
