NAILED
There was an All Members Meeting last night. There to greet me was not a forced sign up sheet to participate on a low functioning committee; instead the Property Manager handed me a letter. What could this be, I thought to myself, a confirmation of subsidy? No, it was a WITHOUT PREJUDICE - YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IS REQUIRED letter.
The letter stated that an AMM was called on January 7, 2014 (no quorum was reached), members must attend all such meetings and that the only way one can get out of going to these meetings is to notify the office, IN WRITING, "24 hours prior to the meeting that the you (typo included) are not able to attend by reason of health or work."
There was a whole stack of these letters to be handed out to delinquent members should they show up for this meeting.
The letter was dated January 8, 2014. Why weren't these letters delivered to all members prior to January 20th and not only to the members who attended the meeting? Wouldn't it be more advantageous to intimidate all members and see who shows up?

Ah, yes. The old "Let's hand out letters designed to embarrass, threaten intimidate Members prior to going into a MM"" trick. They know full well that most people will take letter obligingly and not raise a fuss. What they think of letter or whether they choose to obey is a different matter.
ReplyDeleteLetters obviously prepared in response to fact that original meeting didn't achieve quorum. Yeah, to achieve result of higher attendance, letters should have gone out prior to meeting. After all, what's point in handing them out on Jan. 20th if some of same people didn't show for that one either.
As for the 24 hrs notice, ones who decide not to attend because MM are boring, tedious, accomplish nothing or are a colossal waste of time don't bother handing in their "regrets" because they don't regret not going.
Perfectly stated!
