Well Gene, I understand your angst with Stu, but suppose a prospective new member asked what the status of the building fund was and what are the plans to utilize the monies collected? Do we tell him "you're not a member so it's none of your business"???? Not a good policy to have I think. That attitude may keep others from joining and some to not renew. The financial info is available for all to see on the club site, but no updated news about plans that are being developed to make the building a reality?

As for asking this particular non member for his specific wording and question, I was endeavoring to get an answer to enable him to move on with this particular subject and get back to his self avowed "collecting chips" that's all. for better or worse
