pappabee Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 in the LCS oard meeting notes it states the members who attended and who were absent. It also states that a qorum was reached with 8 voteing members present. If you count the members listed as present it only comes to 7. This is the second time this has happened since the last ellection. Who can't count---me or the President???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Ask LCS administrator, secretary, board president or a board member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisa Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Maybe Terry is both a voting member of the board and a paid employee, otherwise I count seven too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisa Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Why don't you ask LCS? Oh no fun in that ey? I don't understand--how do you ask LCS? There's no need to be defensive about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisa Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I would think that you go there and ask to speak with the President. It is located in Ajijic. If the President is not available, maybe another official could respond to your question. If you are not pleased with their response, get on the agenda for the next meeting of the Board, and ask there. Takes a LITTLE effort on your part, but then you will have an official answer and not rumor. No one is spreading a rumor, just reading the posted minutes. Maybe there should not be a "Lake Chapala Society" forum on this board. It does open the LCS up to public discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PalapaGirl Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 If LCS does not respond here, what is the purpose of this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 This particular forum has reinforced our decision to not renew our old membership. Every time we get "weak kneed" about joining...we need only read about the politics and infighting and then we slip back away for another year.

Xena Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 The LCS forum here can be depressing. At the LCS, people gather and visit over coffee, check out books and movies, post their notices, receive medical information and services, have parties and meetings, see movies and generally have a good time. Some people do none of those things but go on the forum and complain endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Sounds like opinion, not fact. Many members contribute here. Many ask legitibate questions, as the OP did. I notice that most replies including yours were not responsive to the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 The answer to the question needs to come from the sources recommended above. As has already been pointed out, our answers would be speculation. Perhaps that is what the OP is looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 It would seem to me, a simple man, that if there had been a true quorum that someone in a position of authority at the LCS would have answered the OP and explained the whys and wherefores. Not that they are required to but knowing human nature, slightly, it would seem that someone would have wanted to explain to the OP. Just an observation and I have a thick skin so fire away.

lcscats Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Because it is the policy of LCS to not comment online. LCS did not set this forum up and does not read or respond to this forum. Some of us volunteers answer questions that we can but we don't know or care about political nit picking questions . We answer questions like when is the next zoo trip or such. GO ASK THEM YOUR QUESTION if it is LCS politics. Clear enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcscats Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Well here is the answer. You folks are just plain wrong. The board has only 12 members. Rules state must have 7 and they did. Fourteen number was old and mistake. Number of board members can change and does. If you remember Mainecoons wife resigned earlier in year for example. To Original poster WHY DO YOU WASTE MY TIME??? You could have called but no. All we can conclude is you are a nasty person with a chip on your shoulder against LCS. You remind me of a bad student council election. Childish. The other rumor The other rumor running around is wrong also. LCS did not get all the cameras stolen. A meter was removed from LCS thinking it was for a house that was robbed in the neighborhood. I do not speak for LCS or any of its board, members, or Volunteers but I do say what most volunteers want to say. Leave us alone and let us do our jobs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappabee Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 The real problem is that I did question both the President and the Secty two months ago, when it first happened and got no response. AND, if I understand the new rules correctly no one at LCS is allowed to comment on a public forum. What happened to the much vaunted transparency we heard about? Yes I'm picking on them but since they spent months picking on me, turnaround seems like fare play. They don't need the AAC because they have two committees looking out for them.

El Saltos Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 They're as transparent as mud. Never the less, I can see right thru them. Life's too short to bother with the petty politics of an organization that has lost its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I hope that means you both are no longer members. LCS will be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Nice snarky talk for a Moderator, as if you, who's never lifted a finger to help LCS, would know. You just couldn't resist taking a shot could you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Not at all, I just wouldn't want folks who are so unhappy with LCS to subject themselves to all that stress complaining about it. It's bad for your health. Really, life is too short to be a part of an organization you dislike so much. Lots of fun things to do here you really don't need LCS and we really don't need to hear your constant complaining about it. If you aren't members, the problem goes away. For all of us. I have helped out a little there but it isn't my principal volunteer activity, that is true. My wife did a lot of work there, she's taking a breather at the moment. Walk around town and notice the absence of graffiti and you'll know what my principal volunteer activity is. I haven't seen you helping out with that but at least you're not complaining about those of us who do. For that I am thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcscats Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Oh now we have a new magic term. When wrong mention transparency..... What a laugh some of you folks are. I have never had a question refused even my pain in the Arse ones and believe me I ask them. ANYBODY has access to Terry. Call and find out. Now he is busy it might take a few calls but you will talk to him eventually. LCS is not a democracy nor is the USA. We elect people to represent us and they decide. It is how it works. Joint the process or move on and find some other group to irritate as is the style of some of you. I do not represent LCS in any way form or manner. I am a volunteer. Frankly we volunteers are sick of this and I can speak for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
