It is unfortunate that the plan all along was for someone else to lay out the web page and then have this individual claim it as his own. Based on the email below, I am giving you notice Bob, that GIRS is to cease using the design and template that my wife's company purchased. This was discussed with Eric within a response from your message to me. At this time, you are to cease using the webpage that I designed, your new found designer must create a site of his own doing.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you... Bob mentioned that he
knew this guy that could help with the site.. All that meant was that it is
alot of burden for one person to try and keep it updated. I know I tried.. At
least you crated the site you get to work on

The one I tried to fix was
made in Microsoft Word..
Anyway.. I love what you have done for the site and I see why it would have
ticked you off by that email. Rest assured I want you managing that site and I
really do aprpeciate all the time you put in. I still have not heard what
resturant you want to have a gift certificate from
If you want to talk about this one the phone just give me your number and I
would be happy to talk to you..
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Eric

Eric -
I have given this a lot of thought throughout the afternoon and thought I
was not going to let this bother me. But, it has. Basically, I feel quite
offended and that the time and effort I donated to accomplish this for the
club has been in vain.
Were you aware that Bob was pursuing this, and had he discussed this with
you?
If you were not pleased with the work that I had done, all anyone needed to
do was let me know which direction the club wanted the site to go.
At this point, I feel my efforts are not appreciated. I believe the best
course of action is to take down the site I have created and place the
previous site online. Furthermore, I do not give permission to Greater Iowa
Reef Society to use the site that I created nor the template that my wife's
company purchased. Any new site creation is the responsibility of Bob's
friend. If he is a designer, he should be fully up to speed on copyright
laws and how they affect another party's products.
I apologize that I could not fulfill the needs of the club.
Chris
