Community Relations Committee disbands.. Social Club issues
rt
By concensus this committee disbanded itself. There seemed to be the idea that community apathy was one of the reasons another reason may have been that there had been no complaints for them to look at during the 6 months they served. Also, some orignal members were falling off in attendance. Still another reason may have been that they were not elected to serve on the committee by park residents but formed as volunteers instead.
Still we wish that some sort of Association could be formed in the park with dues to support it and the clout to carry out negotiations with management on issues that affect all park residents.
Some of us feel that the Social Club should exist solely for the entertainment of residents and in no way should be involved in the politics of Park issues. That leaves us with no governing body to help decide park problems if they arise. Having an association funded with non-social club dues is a way to solve this problem.
Appathy by residents to create such an association seems to say, "Hey! We have a good thing here and we don't need an association." That being the case, everything will proceed like it has always proceeded before.
The Social Club leadership, of course, after serving a year is becoming tired and would like to retire but as usual finding folks to volunteer is not that easy. The leadership with the exception of Jim Rose has agreed to stay on for this next term. I would think that we will see them all bail out next year as the jobs they have take a lot of time and energy. Thinking about this now could lead to a smooth transition next year. We need people to volunteer to to become assistants to our officers and learn the ropes with an eye to filling the vacancies that will occur next year.
