<p class="MsoNormal">If I can make one more note, I would like to request that we avoid, especially during this pandemic, using a vague subject line that just gives a person’s name. When I saw the subject line, I panicked for a minute with fear that I would
open the message to learn that Beth had passed away from the coronavirus. I was glad that this was not the case. Since I didn’t know about the drama, that was my reaction.

<p class="MsoNormal">As we all notice from the Presidential Releases that we are live recording, we are losing Federationists left and right, and I really hope that we can all stay safe. Besides the one member we have already lost, I am hopeful to hear no more
names from Connecticut on the next release.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> I am writing because for whatever reason, disruptive and negative things have been said about Beth Rival. I have known Beth for over 20 years. I do not believe that
Beth did what she is being accused of. Beth has been an important part of this affiliate for a long time. She served as president for six years and has been on the board in Different positions for many years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">At the same time, I have known Phil Magalnick for four or five years and He is someone that I like and consider a friend.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> I believe that Phil did not get accurate information about what Beth was doing or trying to do to help Julie. Receiving second or third hand information can easily
become misconstrued. I do not believe that Phil would have done anything to hurt anyone. Beth has gone out of her way to help numerous people in the Connecticut affiliate including Julie in the past. Beth does not deserve to be treated this way. If we had
better communication in the Connecticut affiliate this could have been prevented. This has caused hurt feelings that did not need to happen to both families. I hope we can put this ugly incident behind us and move forward.
