She does suffer from depression whether real or imaginary. The apartment housing she lives in is the same as my sister-in-law who is the secretary. There are 2 other women that live there also and the 4 of them get together once a week for a meal and are always doing something together. VP doesn't drive or have a car and she lives by herself. She's quit before and then decides to come back after a couple of months while she was VP last year. I think we'll just have to leave things as they are and if she doesn't show up, that's her problem. I'll just ask the treasurer or secretary or the former president to preside over any meetings I may not be able to attend. Thank you for all your input. I'm glad I posted this thread, because my husband always tells me I open my mouth too soon without thinking.
