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

to all redweek.com manhattan club forum contributors: FOR CLARITY'S SAKE:

the establishment of THE COALITION OF FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED TMC OWNERS (THE COALITION) doesn't claim to be A BETTER WAY than the current plan of connecting with an attorney to reach common goals to better our financial and other stances regarding THE MANHATTAN CLUB. THE COALITION is simply ANOTHER WAY to achieve satisfactory outcomes for fellow owners. we believe that one of the benefits, among others, of THE COALITION is that the owner-contact information gathered directly from owners, allows us the ability to reach out to EACH OTHER PRIVATELY OR AS A GROUP, rather than to banter blindly on redweek.com. we can share and include strategies via members' comments/suggestions/ideas elicited from each COALITION MEMBER, which affords THE COALITION more strength in our diligent efforts to combat the TMC wrongs that owners have endured for years, and are continuing to do so.

we think all redweek.com contributors will agree that THE COALITION is IN NO WAY in competition with the current legal efforts of other owners. that was NEVER our plan. in fact, the essence of our goals ARE THE SAME. perhaps our attempts to reach these goals are with slightly different strategies. we are not so nieve to believe that eventually, we will not need the assistance of a timeshare-savvy legal expert to further our diligent efforts. we believe that we are establishing a strong owner base, by their own desire to join us. once we are convinced that our numbers of members in THE COALITION are sufficient and strong, and that the contribution of members' significant suggestions have been incorporated in our efforts to succeed in our MISSION (note our MISSION STATEMENT above on this forum page), we will proceed from there with a highly- developed plan of further action which will most likely include expert legal representation.

we hope these comments clear misconceptions of how and why THE COALITION chooses the methods selected to reach our goals. we hope we can quell what appears to be somewhat annoyed and/or angry comments regarding THE COALITION. we do not want to create any dissension among owners since, regardless of the paths we follow, our goals remain the same or very similar.

we welcome more owners to join THE COALITION along with many other fellow owners who have done so, in hopes of establishing a more financially (and otherwise) satisfying union with THE MANHATTAN CLUB, one that is substantially different than in the past and the one that currently exists.

in unity and cooperation among ALL owners,

becky and chris
