"I paid for a background check for the purpose of membership. That’s been over a year and I’ve not heard anything from anyone although I e asked about it. I found out tonight that a friend was banned for life. Not really sure why but one of your member was rude as hell to her. Totally uncalled for in front of everyone there. I can’t believe you allow people like that to represent you. She should be the one banned! My friend and her deceased husband were members & on your board years ago. He passed away & you have a stone with his name on it out front. He was a long time member and did a lot for Winchester Elks. His wife, My friend has had health issues including a heart attack. She lived in Texas with her son for a while before moving back to Winchester. I was with her when she paid a partial years dues a while back. Nobody mentioned her being a problem. She filled out the form for membership. The only thing she got from you was something saying she owed the new years fees which had gone up. She couldn’t afford it so she let it go. Tonight she was told she was banned for life. Total shock! In front of everyone there! How rude! She is 77. The way she was talked to is considered elderly abuse. It could’ve been done in a more positive way. She should’ve been taken away from the crowd! She was embarrassed by your member. It stressed her out so bad that she could’ve had a heart problem. I want my background check mailed to me. I paid for it. It’s not yours. I do not want to be a part of that group. I would not recommend it to anyone. I know several people there. As for me, you can bet I will share the experience It was totally done in the wrong way. By the way my friend was playing a machine & the rude person was quite snippy when we asked her questions about the game. By the way Ralph signed us in. We brought things including food for the benefit being held Saturday. He didn’t know about the ban! This was so wrong! I am embarrassed for my friend. We didn’t deserve the treatment we experienced."
