    It is known I asked the DIP what was happening at Ricardo’s only after Kevin and yourself refused to answer any questions as to what was proceeding. I have copies of the E-mails. I posted my inquiry to the DIP publically along with the answers from the DIP on this site. Why you continue to lie to the membership is appalling. There was no motive, no secrecy on my part. I simply inquired to the DIP what was being built as the BOD would not tell us. Any delay in progress or possible financial harm to the club is entirely on the BOD. Both you and Kevin were well aware of the concern by membership as you both were commenting on your FB page when it suit you.

    I realize that it is called DIP but for clarification to some of our members the Aruba Department of Public Works Building Department might make it simpler to understand as “DIP” could mean nothing to some. You sir are out of line and your personal attack on me is unwarranted by stating, “ you continue to lie to the membership”. I too have copies of all emails that were exchanged in the fall of 2016 along with pictures during the building of the deck. The fact that you were overzealous and reported ABC to the government, but not to the proper department and for no apparent reason, gave cause for the dismantle and delay. Please choose your words very carefully the next time you refer to me.

    Not only did they stop the project, I watched the workers dismantling (destroying) the concrete piers. And I have photos to prove it. I tried to post them but an admin refused because “it would be too controversial.”

    That is true, dismantled because of the work stoppage due to the interferance of a member who had an agenda and no one knows why. Truth is ABC had the proper permits and work resumed 3 days later.

    Did the BOD start the deck at Ricardo’s without a building permit and have to rip the poured concrete foundations back out? If true how much did the installation, rip out and the replacement cost.

    In October/November 2017 after the “surge” a deck was being added to Ricardo’s. ABC had the proper permits, however an ABC owner contacted the Aruba Department of Public Works Building Department and told them ABC was doing construction without a permit. The Public Works Department had no record of the transaction and came to the resort and issued a work stoppage. Work was resumed three days later after it was found that the permits had been issued to ABC and were from the Beach Commission which was the proper department that ABC had originally applied to.
    To this day it is unknown why this member interfered or reported that ABC did not have a permit but due to their action three days of work was lost and could have been avoided had this member only ask instead of acted.

    Why week 9 before week 8? Why are things omitted from minutes? Why are questions not being answered?
    Why is there no start and end time to the minutes? Sorry to hear of yet another tragic problem for Mr. Foley.
    He has had a very tough year. My sympathy on his loss. Maybe this redo should be put on hold until things can be made clear. Not long maybe a couple of months because we do need it. The board works very hard and
    does their best but maybe they need a professional for this undertaking.

    There are start and end times on all minutes.

    Both weeks 8 and 9 were lengthy members meetings and the ABC executive secretary worked very hard to transcribe the minutes in a timely manner.

    She finished week 8 last week, sent them to me to post, but I sent them back for clarification because several areas were disjointed and made no sense. Unfortunately, on the tape parts of the week 8 meeting were inaudible and she went back over them and also referred to the written notes she had taken. The week 8 minutes were sent to me late yesterday afternoon however I was out for the evening. They have now been posted.

    Week 9 minutes were completed and those minutes were posted yesterday morning.

    The two ladies that transcribe these minutes work very hard to have them finished in a timely manner. This is only one part of the many MANY duties they have. Although they are fluent in English, it is often difficult to understand the many dialects and accents of the people attending the members meetings who are not only from different countries but the United States in particular with all regional accents.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    It is a commercial sofa, very well made and sturdy. The mattress is thicker and more comfortable than a normal sofa. The fabric is durable and the blue color matches the blue in the new drapes. The wood is also a very close match to the furniture. I will try and get a picture in a few weeks of the sofa, opened and closed, and post it here for all to see.

    I forgot to mention the mattress has a pillow top.

    When depositing your week in the rental pool fill out the form and in the notation section for the nights you would like to rent state that you only want to rent the entire week, no nightly rentals.

    The way these weeks are rented are by “first come” only by the owner and requests by the renter. Example if we both own week 19 and your unit is 157 and my unit is 229 and I had my week listed a month before you did mine would be rented first. The exception is if a renter has a mobility issue and requests a first floor unit then your unit would be rented to them.

    Hope I have explained that correctly and you can also check with reservations to confirm this.

    I am using the new wi-fi right now and it is working great! You get reception anywhere on the property, in your room, on the beach, by the pool, in the lobby. There are several plans and I took the month for $70 for 2 devices. It is very fast compared to what I had before when using the now defunct MIO.

    Hi Kathy,
    From the week 6 members meeting…
    Harriet Bell # 163: Please re-read what is going to go on the convocation in regards to the refurbishing.
    >>Mr. Brandenburg re reads agenda point # 5 on the convocation.
    It is not really what we are looking at in the model room, it says new furniture but yet we see the same headboards, same bureau.
    Mr. Brandenburg: The furniture is being refinished and reupholstered, not replaced. The majority of people that sent in their feedbacks to us over the course of the year wanted to keep the same furniture and just reupholstered it rather than buying new furniture.

    That is a great list Marie and thank you for posting and all that from notes from the members meetings. Members can get a lot of information by reading those minutes each week.
    Had I known you were going to include my remarks in your report I would have elaborated on the soda a bit. It is a commercial sofa, very well made and sturdy. The mattress is thicker and more comfortable than a normal sofa. The fabric is durable and the blue color matches the blue in the new drapes. The wood is also a very close match to the furniture. I will try and get a picture in a few weeks of the sofa, opened and closed, and post it here for all to see.

    Also Marie this has nothing to do with the room but I just found out today that Hand Sanitizers have now been placed on the walls in public areas and grab bars have been installed in all stalls of the public restrooms at ABC. I thought I would add that here because both were requests of owners at meetings as you will see in the minutes.

    You can contact the reservations office to see if they have the night you need either by filling out the request form on the home page or emailing them at this address reservations@arubabeachclub.net

    They can advise you of any fees charged for the extra night rental.

    Monday Feb 12th is a holiday in Aruba so don’t expect a reply until after that.
