HERE WAS MY LETTER TO THE BOARD:

April 22, 2018

TO:                WPA BOARD

FROM:          Madeline Y. Claveloux

RE:                 REQUEST TO REVIEW THE CORRESPONDENCE FILE

                        FROM SEPTEMBER 1, 2017 THROUGH MAY 1, 2018

CC:                 The Wedgefield Examiner

As a member in good standing, I am requesting to review the Correspondence File from September 1, 2017, through May 1, 2018. I would like to come to the WPA Office on Tuesday, May 1^st., at 11:00am to review the files.  I am making the request under the terms of SC Non Profit Law, and the approved procedures noted in our governing documents.

Statement of Proper Purpose, as noted as a requirement in the above noted documents: In general, I am very concerned about the method of members securing a response from the board.  I have followed the three-month effort of a resident attempting to secure approval to review the spoil site records, and was astounded to see a response from our Board Secretary, adding additional unapproved requirements, prior to access to the records.  What was even more alarming was that the Board Secretary chastised the resident stating they were ignorant of policy – a policy that never existed, and therefore never was brought to the board table, motioned, discussed, published on the website for resident comment, or voted on at a second board meeting, and approved. 

I look forward to your response, and approval of my request.

HERE IS ANDERSON'S RESPONSE:

Date: Monday, April 23, 2018 11:54 AM From: Adam Anderson <andersonbodyshop@gmail.com> To: Michelle Blythe <wedgeassoc.com@frontier.com>, mclaveloux@sc.rr.com Cc: Jacky & Judy Walton <jandjwalton24@yahoo.com>, Bob Garrison <mks09@earthlink.net>, Larry McMillin <yankeeretr@gmail.com>, Peggy Phillips <rppeggy@sc.rr.com>, John Walton <ptwbasket@aol.com>, Steve Vasey <svasey@hvc.rr.com>, Butch Williams <butch.williams@ipaper.com>, Keith Johnson <keith@sahbuilds.com> Subject: Re: Fw: REQUEST TO BOARD - SEE ATTACHED

I am in receipt of your request to view the correspondence file. There is a correspondence request form in the office you will need to fill out and you make set an appointment up during regular office business hours to review the file at your convenience.  Adam Anderson Community Liaison  On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 9:03 AM, Michelle Blythe <wedgeassoc.com@frontier.com> wrote: Michelle Blythe Office Secretary Wedgefield Plantation Association, Inc. 1956 Wedgefield Road Georgetown, SC 29440 843.546.2718 843.546.4027 fax HERE IS MY RESPONSE  PLEASE PLACE A COPY IN THE CORRESPONDENCE FILE AND DISTRIBUTE TO THE BOARD Board, On April 22, 2018, I sent a request to review the Correspondence file.  My request was made in compliance, and according to the requirements of SC non profit law.  I have been denied approval of my request, and confirmation of the date of review - May 1, 2018, 11:00am, and noticed that I must come to the office, and fill out a Request to Review Documents form, that has never existed until now.  My letter meets all the requirements of SC non profit law.  I have filled out the form under the protest of discrimination against me as an individual member in good standing, who has met the legal requirements of SC non profit law, and exercised my rights under the by-laws.  Discrimination, as the WPA has no written policy that requires this "made up in the moment document requirement" by board secretary McMillin.  I resent the right hand of illegal involvement of the board's community liaison Anderson, who instead of enforcing what is legal and ethical, adds himself to McMillin's illegal folly.  My April 22nd letter was sent to the entire board.  Anderson's response was sent to the entire board.  Is the entire board now willing to be complicit in this harassment, and violation of SC non profit law, and our bylaws?  Where is legal and compliance in review of McMillin and Anderson's ridiculous attempts to develop "policy in the moment" because of their dislike of one or two residents?  I have never encountered such a demand in over 13 years of making requests to review documents, and having my requests granted.  No place in the current reorganized by McMillin Policy Manual does this document, or policy exist! I expect to come to the office on May 1, at 11:00am and review the documents.  Additionally, I would appreciate a response to my questions posed above, with real legitimate answers from some responsible - not tinged by the ridiculousness of McMillin, and Anderson, officer of the board.  There should be no "playing with policy and law", when a member in good standing makes a legitimate, legal request regardless of whether they are in the board's favor, or not. I am now making a request to speak utilizing one of the two five minute speaker opportunities allowed in our governing documents, at the May WPA board meeting.  The subject will be "Member Request To Review Records Delayed By Manufactured Policy, and Ultimately Harassment By The Board." Thank you for your time.  The two attachments are presented under protest.
