jils465, the TMC OWNERS' ANNUAL MEETING IS A SET-UP JOKE! the principals, eichner, et al, all know the outcomes well before the meetings come to order. your comment about j wirshba, " He's kind of gruff and did his best to keep a lid on any discussion beyond the election business": this is typically their modus operandi......move this (required and advertised) meeting along for the record. we know exactly what we want as the final outcome anyway. as for ballot, dunphy and soltys, they're owners JUST LIKE US. i can't recall their doing anything to benefit their "brother and sister" owners...........or maybe i missed something. are they even allowed speak at meetings on owners' behalf and if so, do they? did they speak at this meeting that you attended? was this annual meeting a sham, a scene from a fictional play? did you find in to be up front and transparent, allowing owners to vent frustrations, and in the process, make some headway toward changing owners' issues for the better? i think not, and i don't think many other owners would think any differently...... that may be one of the reasons that TMC IS A DEFENDANT IN THE NYSAG MR. SCNEIDERMAN'S CURRENT LAWSUIT AS THE PLAINTIFF. i'd be very interested in knowing about your upcoming meeting with sal reale concerning his transparency and honest willingness to assist owners in their plight to get what they paid dearly for, e.g., reasonable (not ridiculously exorbitant) maintenance fees, reliable and reasonable reservation access and other issues expressed in this forum. i have had many conversations with sal reale, few of which addressed my issues. the results of your meeting expressing your concerns remain to be seen. sorry, but i don't have positive vibes at this time. keep in touch. keep us all posted. we await your impressions and comments.........after you " digest at this forum at the moment." chris [Q=jills465] To Jeff and others - I just left TMC Timeshare Owners Annual meeting. It lasted from 9 - 11:15 am-ish. The Order of Business was only the election of Association board members. All 3 current members were re-elected: Robert Ballot, James Dunphy, Patricia Soltys (who was nor present). The one new nominee, Tim Gordon, was not. The GM Joshua W. was the lead spokesperson. He's kind of gruff and did his best to keep a lid on any discussion beyond the election business, but he did allow a period after business for a Q&A from the audience. There were about 100 people present. About 10 questions were answered, or attempted, but only steam released on the elephant in room (AG investigation). Then we broke up in clusters around board members and asked individual questions, but always with the fearfulless that they can't talk about anything (that we really want to know). So I've come away with a peak into process and personalities, all too much for me to digest at this forum at the moment. We were given the invitation to email or pay any of them a visit, so I will start to do that, beginning with my current visit. I have the business card of the Executive Director of Operations Salvatore Reale. I will try to see him today or tomorrow.[/Q]
