Illegal Recording of Board Meeting

A member who was present at the BOD meeting 8/15 submitted the following:

At the meeting at the shelter on Saturday August 15th, a member taped all or part of the meeting. The State of Washington it is a "two party consent" State so it was illegal for them to tape any or all of the meeting without informing those attending. It is my feelings that just paying your dues should not be the only consideration for being a member in good standing. I'm disappointed that this happened and what can be done about it I don't know but I find this persons actions very disappointing and certainly hope that we do not see his or her name on the ballot sheets. There should be a consequence for this illegal act at the board meeting. For those of you who missed the meeting in my opinion it supplied great and positive information. Thank the Board and Volunteers that do such a great job! The way the person announced that they were recording had a threatening tone (in my opinion) which lead to greater disappointment just what was the motive for performing this illegal action I can only imagine.
