The ONLY solution here is to INCREASE THE ROOM BUY RATE.

You and the BOD's have come to the conclusion that there is only 1 solution. I disagree. There are/were alternatives, and to be fair, I objected about this specific issue in emails to Doug the second I heard about it. I offered up suggestions. My impression was the BOD decided this was going to get done. Period.

Increasing the room buy rate on the backs of members who don't need a room.....I am flabbergasted that you and the other BOD's think that is acceptable.
