I am really thinking that it is getting really weird here...
the OP was not abusive, just informing of the situation, & cause.
I do think that it would be far EASIER, as the OP had stated, to cancel on the Hui rental, and keep the general meeting date, but I really DO NOT have any idea what the contract between the ASSN. and the renter of the facilities states (many have some wording for this type of occurrence,
It does seem that the membership meeting would have been a first booking...but I AM NOT an expert by any means...and the contract would have much more legal weight than anything else....
AS to the zen thing...well that could go both ways, as a truly zen thing would be that the party goers would realize that no positive karma would be had in making what was an obvious mistake into any conflict, and would see that this mistake could be easily corrected by changing their venue....
So this is really nothing about mainlander/eastern zen, it is about a mistake, and how to best resolve it...pointing fingers & placing blame are not the way...
working with everyone to resolve this in a positive manner is!
ADD: if the invitations have already been sent there are ways to work around the corrected invite...little thinngs like the Hui assisting in the resending... but this may not even need to be done if the invites have not been sent & just need a correction, though not perfect, but as many have stated, the Zen way (though this is WAYY early for most, some invitations do go out this early as 3 mos is outside the "Post Protocol" for most invitations: http://www.emilypost.com/social-life/inv...en-to-send )
ADD 2: REMEMBER the general meeting is not a "Little thing" it is a meeting that is set for all ~8,800 lot owners...any one of which could have planned to be at that particular meeting at that particular day...and have a legal right to, based on the bylaws...so changing their meeting is one of the largest changes you could make
This one of the largest property owner meeting changes ever, anywhere, something some have a very hard time grasping...this is a huge thing to do!...
But of course there is a very easy way to correct this, use the rental monies to rent a large tent, place it on the Hui property, next to the party venue & the only problem will be a lot of parking in that one spot!
The truly best way to correct this!
