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

although i remain staunchly true to THE MC OWNER'S CAUSE i'm beginning to feel that this redweek.com forum is becoming a soapbox for owners' frustrations, mine included! we seem to be headed nowhere, except to voice our issues which we all know ad nauseum by now.

we continue to get dribs and drabs of information re the ag's lawsuit, but nothing that benefits us in any way. we still have a shot at getting the nysag to offer us a presentation, but so far no one has jumped on that bandwagon: to have a meeting of TMC OWNERS set up for this summer in nyc strongly urging the nysag to give us a presentation regarding the lawsuit. i believe if the ag agrees to address our group at this meeting, there will be overflowing and overwhelming owner attendance from near and far. let's get this idea off the ground NOW.

there are some very knowledgeable members on this forum but, it appears no experts to offer us concrete suggestions regarding, for example, maintenance fees, i.e., to pay them or not and the how our actions will affect us, probably negatively.

folks, we are headed nowhere to date. speculation, guesses, surmising...yes, yes, and yes, but no information to use constructively. we even have some of our members doing their damnedest to go to court hearings and report the proceedings. kudos to these generous members who use their time and effort on our behalf.............and i'll bust if i don't include one of us BY NAME, in this paragraph..........IRENE SMALLS. all well and good...........no GREAT, but we still remain in a state of zero concerning what we need to know in order to proceed concerning the enemy, IAN BRUCE EICHNER AND HIS KINGDOM, THE MANHATTAN CLUB. maintenance fees need to be reduced substantially; the permission process for shareowners to attend TMC corporate (board of directors) meetings must be revamped with shareowners authorized to speak at the meeting, shareowners must have a voting board position, the reservation process needs vast improvement. i've even heard comments about housekeeping issues at TMC. i hope they're random problems that can be corrected.

so fellow owners, my frustrations have been submitted while standing on my own personal soapbox. you probably have a freshly painted one of your own.

LET'S GET A MEETING PLANNED IN NYC THIS SUMMER REQUESTING THE PRESENCE OF OF THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. THIS IS PROBABLY IS THE ONLY WAY WE'LL GET ANY SORT OF FIRST-HAND INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE WE OWNERS STAND. CONTACT JEFF WEIR AND/OR GREG CRIST WHO DID SUCH A FINE JOB OF PLANNING OUR MEETING LAST AUGUST.

UNITED WE STAND.
