Every club owned room does not bring in maintenance fees and we have to share the cost of that deficit, so before you start giving orders, look at the correct picture.
Running away has never been the solution, but getting interested and doing something about it is.

As far as the old board is concerned, sure they did some things wrong, but they left $600.000 for the new board as a surplus , even though they never raised the maintenance fees ,they still managed to have a surplus, that is why they did not raise those fees, were they correct, no I think they should have added some and save even more for assessments kill tourism, they bought terrible wrong cooling towers and chillers, but they bought hotel quality furniture which till the day of today is good, just needs a few touch-ups.

Not you but I was involved in the court cases to get the judge to order t board to get out of a terrible deal they wanted to make with a criminal disbarred lawyer which could have potentially made sure we would have lost our club, later I was involved in the court cases to make sure that no board member was allowed to be there more than 2 terms of 5 years and I paid out of my own pocket $27.000 to accomplish all of that ,court cases and lawyers are expensive, for the donations from other members never were enough, I never asked anything back for that, only was hoping we would get a correct, honest , qualified and respectful board in its place. What I see is more secrecy, more fees applied everywhere they can and members starting to sell and that is very bad for the club.

So many privileges were taken away.
It was just nice that at one time we had little shampoo/body lotion gifts, the units were worth $5700, we had free coffee in the morning and checkout time was 12 noon.

Now the same units are not even selling for $3000 superiors low season, they almost dropped in value 50%, we have to check out at 11 AM, we have less personnel, we have no more free gifts or coffee and rentals are indeed down a lot, the club is not renting nor selling like they used to. We have no handicapped toilet a must for every resort and instead of a surplus with all the raises in maintenance fees, we now have a deficit?
Something is wrong and most of you see it but there will always be a few who love to think they know it all .
Turned out it has become very costly , not everything is what it looks like , so my advice is do not start telling other people what to do, but look what you could do to make things better.

Fact is many members do not have the finances they once had and it is becoming too costly ,the airlines are not helping raising the airfare on Saturdays and all together it has become too much money for many to be able to pay.
For now we own shares about worth half of what they once were , so think how to turn that around for it can be done, but only with the right people who think about the club, its members, personnel and the island itself. Qualified people who are open totally to the share holders, now secrecy is having the upper hand ,so help and come up with idea’s share them with all members and together we might be able to turn some things around.
