I came here to post my somewhat-related rant and read these posts. Ugh. My sympathies, IL. My question is, what's the worst that happens if (collective) you don't do The Big Thing? It kind of sounds like you're out of business in two years regardless.

My rant is about a Web site of community resources that someone outside of our organization sold well enough to receive (private) grant money to build -- but not enough money to maintain. They were hopelessly optimistic about community buy-in and interest ("They'll do it for free!" "We'll be greeted as liberators!"). Now, of course, the database is unusable. And now the organization that thought this was such a great idea (but not enough to fund it adequately) wants to ship this tire fire to our organization. I'm the only one in our organization with enough of IT background to see what's happening and I've been resisting mightily. My best course of action may be to remove myself from this particular project and continue working on things like bylaws, procedures, financial reports, etc. (we didn't have those either before this year, but at least dementia hasn't set in here and we know where we spent our money).
