Thanks Mermaid for your reply, it is appreciated.

Mr./Ms. hppwatchdog, I would like to add to your comment that referred to Joan Galante's situation (she was the previous Treasurer for the HPPOA), "Without a court order they can't bar any owner from a meeting they are entitled to attend.". Joan was also voted into the Finance Committee by the Association membership at the June 30 Membership Meeting. Joan is also one of a very few people who actually knows anything about the Association's finances... every dollar, up till June 2014. The current BOD removed her from all committees as well. Why remove such a valuable and knowledgeable person from continuing to serve the Association? It seems obvious to me, they wanted her out of the way.
If any one doesn't know the sordid story, she is claimed to have hit Susan Escobar (who works in the office) on the knuckle with her clip board. You also should know that Joan at 77 years, in my estimation, is about 105 lbs and around 5'3", has to walk with a cane because she has had hip surgery and finds it very difficult to get around. Susan on the other hand is 200+ lbs and around 5'10ish" and much younger at maybe 40 something. It is beyond believe that Joan would do any thing to hurt Ms. Escobar. And by-the-way, it is rumored that Joan has a black belt in the ancient art of "Cane Fu". If Joan wanted to "attack" Ms. Escobar I would think she would have used her cane.

If I can, I will ask and try to post her "nasty gram" from the BOD on ponohpp.com as well.

Please do. You are correct they banned her from meetings because she would hold their feet to the fire during finance committee meetings.

It's nice to have another set of eye's watching this board.
