Don't Read The Blooooog!

I really have to thank my dear friends (who love and have spent nearly a decade of their lives serving this community) for the information to keep this internet discourse going while I was involved in treatments in an attempt to remain on this planet for a few years longer. There are so many people in this wonderful community who have volunteered on  committees, club boards, or the association Board of Directors of Regency Cove. Its good to hear feedback from experienced residents.

I also love hearing from the faithful blog followers, some of you I barely know, but you send your comments and letters of encouragement to keep the information coming to your homes all over the country. Communication has ALWAYS been a primary concern with the residents of this park. Communication was the primary shareholder concern 3 to 5 years ago, while I served on the Board, as Communication chair. This blog was initiated in an attempt to produce a method of immediate communication with all the shareholders in the event of a catastrophe. This blog has never been particularly welcomed by any of the 5 presidents serving during our existence. This blog has been brought before the association attorney twice, that I'm aware of. Each time I have readily made the changes requested by the attorney to dissociate this blog from the association. 

Our president doesn't like my bloooooog. He has asked the residents not to read it. I agree with him completely. If you can't handle sarcasm, or a tongue-in-cheek post about a phantom newspaper raider, for God's sake, please don't come here. Read the wonderful Outlook.There is much wonderful and timely information.

If our Board would get onboard and begin their own immediate communication avenue (their OWN blog), I might be happy to close this blog down. But on the other hand, someone has to point out the problems and irregularities. 

We recently paid over $1700  to secure that 8 foot stretch of slippery slimey kayak ramp built illegally by a few residents at Pelican Point. The property does not belong to us. How are we insuring this little strip of slimey land, that doesn't belong to us? If we don't insure our beach, how do we  insure an illegal kayak ramp?

By law, any changes to our common grounds require a vote of the shareholders. BIG PROBLEM! I see why Dennis doesn't want anyone to read the BLOOOOOG.

Historically, the Board has controlled repetitive seasonal rentals when there are many homes for sale in the park. When questioned by a shareholder at the meeting, one board member loudly defended the current open rental policy for the folks who have multiple investment properties. I have a problem with this. The majority of shareholders are NOT multiple owners. The board should be representing the majority of shareholders, not the handful who own multiple shares.  The Board should do everything possible for the average shareholder to get the most for his investment.
