LOL I keep getting everybody's gender wrong. I saw the name Kelley, and assumed it was owned by a woman. But of course, Kelley is a common last name too. Sorry about that. I'll go through and change all the pronouns haha.

And by the way, I know if you are just now hearing all of this, it may sound dramatic like I've overreacted, but remember that this has been going on for three years. For two years, I didn't even get the magazine that I paid for. I was supposed to get a welcome packet, which I never got. I know you get get into a lot of botanical gardens for free if you are an AOS member. How do you prove that? Is there a membership card? It seems like there would be a membership card. That makes sense to me, but I don't know because I never got a welcome packet. DId that contain a membership card? It's like I paid my money, and they immediately forgot that I even exist. So if this sounds dramatic and over the top to you, remember how long I have been dealing with this, and how many times i have reached out to them and got no response, and how many of the things they were supposed to do for me as a member that they didn't do. I'm not being overly dramatic here, and I'm not overreacting. Three years is far too long for this to have gone on, and I'm done with it.

And furthermore, I learned that being polite and patient with them doesn't work. The only way to get anything done, to get anything you need from them, is to be an a-hole and treat them like crap. That's the only way to get their attention. You better believe I tried being patient and polite and understanding, and that got me nowhere. I didn't start out being ugly to them. That only happened after they gave me no other option.

Please don't feel like you are being overdramatic or overreacting. You are not. Regardless of what's gone on internally with the AOS (and I'm talking over the past 3 years-- not because of covid), they have taken your money and failed to fulfill their side of the contract. And they've failed to communicate. That's not acceptable. You've done nothing to bring this on or exacerbate the situation.

Kudos to Kelley's for their kind and generous action.
