During our Zoom-only membership meeting of 31 January, Jerry stated that his great desire was that we would have a neighborhood full of community activities, charity and so forth. He stated that this would likely happen after disbanding the association that was created in part for that purpose, SAEPOA. We didn’t hear from other board members as Jerry dominated the meeting, and non-board members couldn’t talk freely without facing the mute button. In any event, I wanted to take Jerry at his word on this. But, what we see is the following:
- We had no participation from the board or Working Group at the Santa Fly-In, our major annual event.
- We have invited the whole airpark to a community get-together every Friday since that meeting. Neither Jerry, nor Richard have ever attended.
- Our board has shown no interest in activities like the possible fly in or Young Eagles rally that we are planning for May — in fact they are completely mute.
- Rather, our board is now saying that because we aren’t doing enought of these things that we need to dissolve the Association.
- Their budget speaks their values. They want to spend over half of this year’s budget on lawyers who will most likely be providing service through (to?) Jerry only.
Our leaders don’t want to heal the association, they just want to kill it. Shouldn’t we wonder why?
