"Appropriate proxies"

On Oct. 20, 2009, it was posted on friendsofchapel.blogspot.com:
"Please fill out the form, sign the appropriate proxy(ies), fold it and drop it in the mail at your earliest convenience. Thank You."

These so-called "proxies" were sent out in a mailing to Chapel members from a questionably obtained mailing list. A link for the "proxy" form is on the "friendsofchapel" site.

These "proxies" were NOT sent out by Chapel leadership as a duty of the church corporation, and would be invalid come the church's annual meeting for that reason alone.

The mailing of these "proxies" can only be interpreted in one of two ways based on the method and reasoning behind their mailing:

1) They are designed to usurp the authority of the Board of Trustees and membership of the Chapel.

2) They are designed to confuse Chapel members -- including those who are exercising their right to express any frustration toward the church -- by creating an atmosphere in which the leadership of the Chapel is unclear, possibly harming the legal process of the annual meeting.
