Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):

good day, all owners,

i share with you (again) my email to gabrielled@tmcny.com concerning a reservation time extension due to the deadly CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 PANDEMIC, and her subsequent response as of april 26, 2020. I shared the same email with eachTMC BOARD MEMBER. i will be repeating the same email this week (perhaps with some modifications) but with an additional recipient, mayor de blasio.

i recommend that all of us email gabrielle dzwonkowski with similar requests to allow us to carry over unused time, without penalty, and offering us reservation time extensions due to the covid-19 life and death pandemic. proactivity is a must. in your email to gabrielle, consider adding cc's as follows:

timeshareboard@manhattanclub.com; the "timeshareboard" address is for all regular TMC board of director members; and the following non-sponsor board members...patti.tmcny@gmail.com; jdunphytmcny@outlook.com; bbb174@aol.com. the non-sponsor board members are, respectively patricia soltys, james dunphy and robert ballot; they are all TMC owners, just like us!!)

good morning gabrielle, i sent the following email to your office on 4/20/20. there's been no response to date. please inform all owners of how TMC will react to this life and death issue regarding covid-19 and the extension and carry-over of their reservation time without penalty. thank you:

to reservations (gabrielle zwonkowski)...gabrielled@tmcny.com

my email:

"due to the devastation to us all from the coronavirus pandemic, i am asking that you extend my time, which ends on august 15, 2020 to november 15, 2020 for the safety of me and family and others regarding timely resumption or reservation time and social distancing.

thank you for your understanding regarding this serious life and death matter."

the following is gabrielle's response in part:

"Rest assured, there will be correspondence sent as soon as we move past this challenging time."

i have not seen any such further TMC correspondence regarding reservation time extension. has anyone else here?

Gabrielle Dzwonkowski's (gabrielled@tmcny.com) full response to my email:

Good Morning

Thank you for contacting Member Services. Please note that we are currently not carrying over any time or offering any extension, as there has been no change to the offering plan. However, the Executive Office is aware of the situation that a number of owners find themselves in due to this unprecedented situation. Rest assured, there will be correspondence sent as soon as we move past this challenging time.

Thank you,

Gabrielle Dzwonkowski

TMC appears not to be in compliance with the nys governor, nys mayor nor the CDC's guidelines regarding the PANDEMIC, e.g., social distancing, with so many people in TMC at the same time because so many would want to use their reservation time simultaneously. with no amendment to TMC's reservation policies, this creates a clear and present danger and an illegitimate loss of reservation time in the midst of this life and death CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

if you are affected by this reservation issue debacle and find yourself unable to use your time because of your and guests' health and safety concerns, notify gabrielle, et al, asap. leonh and i might produce a common letter with room for appropriate personal reservation time to fit individual situations. however, your own personal correspondence will help.
