Aren't we supposed to start January 1st with a complete Board? Jean Totten
There doesn’t appear to be any urgency to fulfill the two director vacancies. Only timing reference is directors should be appointed after January 1st and installed at the first board meeting after having been appointed. Ideally, appointments will be made in time for the January 29th, 2026 board meeting.

An appointment ends on December 31 of the year appointed. (••For a group of five people, a majority vote is 3 votes.)
I agree the bylaws have to be flexible to allow time for the Board to appoint members in a sad situation like this where no one volunteers to run for the board slots available.
RCSC board continues to work on filling the two director vacancies. Source: RCSC E-blast, Thursday, January8, 2026, 4:22pm. https://mailchi.mp/f1fc6d068b92/exchange-video-link-7790029?e=f18f779945
I just read the press release seeking additional candidates to seek nomination to the board. How absolutely nondescript is this request? It could have had an impact statement attached such as how much impact one person could have by supporting the community. Or how much influence one person could have by being involved with the committees and helping guide the process of governance. Or have the choices already been made, as in departing directors to be recycled into the fray? No need for descriptors if you already know who you are placing in those positions. Just an observation, as I stated earlier in the year that there was a clear idea that just placing the old board in place could happen.
Eileen, If you think Eyesopen is Rusty Bradshaw, I am not. Sorry for any confusion. He is not on Talk of Sun City, but knows I share his Sun City community YouTube videos with acknowledgement. I think he responded to you by email once when a compliment you posted was forwarded to him. Tried to give you his email address in a TOSC private conversation, but apparently it’s not activated for you. I enjoy your TOSC content contributions!
