ARE YOU ONE OF THE SHEEP, IN THIS BOARD'S HERD? PROBABLY

I did mean to offend you with the title.  We have 576 member lots here in Wedgefield.  Our association's mud slinging, lawsuit, treacherous history have left me feeling most have become sheep in the board herd.  I use the following cartoon in regard to the WPA's board operations regularly.


It applies to most of you, when you don't attend meetings.  You don't write the board, and question, and don't think for yourself, and your property.  It appears that if the board said these sheep were poodles you would believe them.  Basically, when you don't hold the board's feet to the fire of our governing documents, and sound business practice, the board could call sheep poodles, and you would allow it.  I've also used this picture.

For the most part, most have been using excuses that have allowed the board to lead us to the current situation where we believe we are powerless to protect our home values, and at this point have helped kill off the features most valuable to our home values - the golf course, and canals.  Today, we are left without either of them.

How did it happen.  You tell me that you care, but you are tired of the fighting.  Seven to 12 people attend board meetings that have no real content, because your board discusses things between themselves, and the board herd follows through during meetings. Where are you?  Not there to ask questions.  It is upsetting to you to attend meetings and have to swallow what they are doing.  You have stopped caring, and yet you ask whether I care, and what I am going to do, now that we are in this mess.  I'm going to continue to do what I can, but you don't attend meetings, you don't write letters, you don't stand up, and ask questions, you hide behind "I just want to enjoy life."  

What has that gotten you?  An overgrown golf course, poorly maintained WPA property, and silting canals.

Don't you think it is time you took some action, before this board ruins life in Wedgefield?
