"I have been trying to get a sense of what is really happening with the board and the members by reading the postings on Punaweb and the minutes of the meetings and believe me, it's REALLY hard to do that!"

Chas, thank you for your long distance effort in attempting to understand just what is going on with our Assoc. It's almost impossible to comprehend if you have not been attending Board meetings. I'd like to say it's about sex as that always gets people's attention......or possibly a good fist fight, that also draws a crowd but it is more serious than that.
There's a lot of "soap box shoulds and oughts " pontification being posted here . Posted by some who have not made it their business to attend meetings. Many posts are from members who are frustrated and angry, rightly so. There is blatant "smoke screening" most likely only understood by those of us who really know the heart of the matter.
I am hoping that the new board recognizes their need to follow the by-laws, not only so we as an association can pull ourselves out of this mess but also because.......There is a group of people deliberately attempting to discredit them. Their agenda is more than being "community minded".
Past minutes are posted on our web site....well except for those that got "lost".
As you read these minutes, keep in mind that we are a 5013c Corp. bound by not only our own bylaws but both Fed. and State regulations governing Non-profit corp.s
I draw your attention to Article v Section 14, "Conflict of Interest" and Article Vlll section 11 "Conflict of Interest" of our bylaws.
