Then there is something definitely wrong with this picture. When a site
selector researched and said a site was awesome, our elected Board should
have been given the opportunity to see for themselves ...........An
executive committee should not have had this power.
Given that the below email is facts.......it doesn't sit well that the Board
we elected wasn't given an opportunity to run the club as they saw fit. I
don't care if the site is Florida or timbucktoo....................
