I don't know how many of you know that I volunteered for an animal rescue for 5 years, then suddenly in Jan 5 of this year, they kicked me out, with no prior warning. Due to a conflict of interest.
Here is the letter they sent me.
Dear Sarah:
For many years you have been a very valuable volunteer at XXXXX and we sincerely appreciate and respect your knowledge and experience with the residents of our center.
However, since XXXX is presently under a new management, we, the Board of Directors of XXXX, are concerned about a conflict of interest caused by the sudden resignation of our past president, Bonnie XXXX.
It is, therefore, with great sadness that we request you to resign your volunteer position at XXXX until some time in the future when this conflict has passed.
Yours Truly,
XXXX Board of Directors.

Whatever. They asked me to quit. I didn't go back. I was very upset and I have shed many tears over this. I loved those animals as my own and I definitely DID NOT deserve this treatment by them.
Now, I use the alleyway where the center is located. It's a quick and easy shortcut to get downtown.
And today, I get this letter.
Dear Miss XXXXX:
As per our formal conversation with you previously regarding leaving the premises at 12-14 St XXXXXX St, it was understood from that conversation that you were no longer being involved with the activities and functions of this organization. It is therefore a surprise to us that you should still find a need to be around the premises located at 12-14 St XXXXX St.
This is our formal and written notice that we will act upon the "Trespassing Act" should you be found on or near the premises located at 12-14St XXXXX St.
Yours Truly,
------- -----,
Acting President and Representative to the Board of Directors.
c.c. Officer ----- -------, City of St Thomas Police.

What the hell? Seriously.
All I do is walk down the alleyway and they think I am out to get them?
I am going to the police station this afternoon to see where I stand. But what is everyone else's opinion? Are they scared of me or what?
And as stated int he first letter, they wanted me back. I guess that's a big fat no now.
