Interesting Months Ahead

I too have lived with the results of that same GM, and saw and experienced the losses of member benefits. Restoring a printed product has not a Title 33 issue, rather a member entitlement issue.
I was asked to offer results as to what we, the RCSC, could do to improve outreach. There was a question about how to grow the circle. Printed products can and will do that. Tangibles do that. Electronic media is fleeting, a printed brochure gives you the impression over and over again. Something to read and reread at leisure.
Printed products such as those offered to the residents of RCSCW is invaluable for members outreach and promotion of the community. The cost, as quoted by another community delivering the product reflects an amount achievable. If the RCSC can throw how many millions of repair bunkers that offer value to how many people? Yet the idea of outreach to members, potential buyers and recent purchasers at a possible price of $100k a year to revamp the visitor center and provide print media is too expensive?
The need for a community outreach venue is critical for this community. A printed medium starts the process in the right direction. Every community needs something to share with the public what they are, who they are, and where they are going. A good newspaper and colorful brochures do that. The newspaper offers branding of the community, and we need to get the word out about who we are. A newspaper offers the visibility and tangible benefits that nothing else can.

 

Tom, it is hard to accept your argument that members are part of a process that they do not participate. How can you bellyache about something you know nothing about? Our insurance is way too high and the Board should not approve the renewal. Fine, no insurance coverage we close all the rec centers and golf courses plus all the clubs have to shut down until we have coverage again, which would be a long process and might cost more than the original coverage. Enjoying this process?

As for MV, nobody knows the cost, you think you know the cost but you don’t. The reason why, until the final architectural plans are done with the architect’s estimate for bidding, that is when we know. On a personal note, I believe the PAC is a white elephant and a waste of money. The Players just want a vanity place that will dark most of the year. I also don’t buy the argument it can be used for lectures, concerts and as an alternative site for the Sun Bowl concerts in event of inclement weather. Just think 9f cramming the usual 5,000 attendees into a place that safely holds 400.

I done want to censure members, rather I welcome their voices. The flip side is that I have attended too many meetings where members have complained when it was evident that they were misinformed or had no idea what they were talking about. I found out a long time ago which travels quicker in Sun City, rumors or the truth?
