A companion newsletter to the Resident Forum was launched on Labor Day. The purpose of the newsletter is to raise awareness among owners and involved residents of the issues that impact our community and generally inform folks of the existence of a Resident Forum.
The means was to use the existing email databases derived from years ago on Mik Readinger's forum, the NewsHound and CHUG. Many of these were old and outdated, requiring significant effort to "clean up".
Three hours after the initial "launch", 125 of the 390 emails have been opened and there were 82 Clicks on the links. Only 32 emails "bounced" meaning that those email addresses were "no good".
Only 4 "Unsubscribes" were sent; one from a BOD Wannabee/Rulebook committee member who thinks the content are "spammy", 1 from an owner who said they were not on any list (they could have advertised on CHUG's Classifieds and been included in the email database provided to Mik Readinger) and two gave reason as "unspecified".
The greatest number of clicks on links was from RST@slrmail.com--the owner of KCNET.
Changed "only" to "on" ;+)

Update: A little over half of the Sent Emails have been opened and there have been hundreds of clicks; the greatest # of clicks was on the KCN violation. There are 8 Unsubscribes; most simply indicated that they "did not sign up for the list".
Those people will obviously not read this and understand that the distribution was not to owners who signed up for this Newsletter; it was to folks who had previously interacted with CHUG, the previous Resident Forum or the NewsHound. This was stated at the bottom of the Newsletter. Obviously, those 8 people's email addresses have been removed from the database.
Significantly, there were 351 Guest Visits to the forum within 24 hours of the launch of the newsletter; previous GuestVisits averaged around 85.
A couple people took the time to write a more descriptive reply; predictably, this reflected varying degrees of thoughtfulness and clarity in expressing disagreement with a perceived critical tone:
This one must have been sent by a Clapper:
Why do Clappers think that people with alternative opinions "do not like our resort"? Nothing could be further from the truth.
Here's one that is more thoughtful:
One only need review the last several elections to appreciate the ineffectiveness of annual elections to reinvigorate this board. Elections have only served to perpetuate the same board, through appointments, resulting in an inbred incumbent group that has been in control since 2010.

Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted IF YOU DO NOT LIKE OUR RESORT MOVE OUT. MY WIFE AND I LIVE AND LOVE IN OUR RESORT TO APPRECIATE THE CLIMATE THE PEOPLE AND THE ACTIVITIES. AS I SAID EARLIER, IF YOUR GROUP DOES NOT LIKE THE LIFE LEAVE
Who does this jackass think he is? Smacks of Dbag from the tone. Only a weak minded and selfish moron would make that sort of generalized statement. MY WIFE and I including our K9 absolutely love it here in SLR and always have, that's why we "bought in".
Even though we have been terrorized by board members and security just for simply enjoying ourselves and doing no harm to anyone. The manager has even gone to the lengths of trying to criminalize me and my K9 by providing false information to Law Enforcement AND interfering with an investigation by the State Attorney and PCSD.
My wife was forcibly ran off the road while driving her car by a "security force" flunky while on shift w/the office security van. Restrictive signs that are NOT LAW let alone rules were placed to give the manager and board monkey a reason to try and intimidate me and my enjoyment of being a responsible K9 owner on property that the Covenants EXPIRED on in 2007. They never got anywhere with that as I know what the rules are and don't give in to any wannabe pseudo junior high school bullies. I stayed while they ran away.
Now comes a new manager(?), we should give that person every opportunity to succeed but not by assuming that now he's the BMOC and his word is written in stone. If you don't know the rules and the territory we will educate you at your expense.
WE DONT RUN.
I will attach our letter to Management/BOD/Security and all other Agents who think they are King/Queen in SLR
This is a real Document, it has been recorded and duly served, recorded and scanned. This is what we had to do to stop the aggression from those above and is a letter of Law that is the first step in issuing a first and final warning. This is the lengths we've had to go to, to stop those who feel they are boss/owner/lord/master or whatever else runs through their feeble minds thinking that they have the right to control us, J&C Grnt +K9.
I don't mind at all if anyone wants to use OUR letter as a template for themselves. You have my approval!
BTW mister " If your group doesn't like it leave", OUR GROUP represents the MAJORITY. You may want to consider applying your own tired and played out statement to yourself.
Your trite, over used opinion carries no weight, it's NOT ABOUT YOU. SLR is for all who pay fees and enjoy their freedoms of living in a gated retirement community. There is no place for anyone that thinks they are king/queen over anyone other than themselves and their lives/loves.
To put it in a simpler form, MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS AND LEAVE OTHER PEOPLE ALONE. YOU ARE INSIGNIFICANT AND ARE EQUAL TO EVERYONE ELSE IN SLR. DEFLATE YOURSELF YOU PUFFED UP SHIRT/MAN WITH A PAPER BUTT.
If you don't like it, come and speak to me face to face like a MAN should. If you don't, then you know that you don't have anything you can be convincing about to cause change in anyone that you feel you have any power over.
Jm & Carol 36 STN

Opinions are just that, opinions and I would like to register mine as well.
To all SLR folks, let's keep the discussion on topic i.e. cut the pressure "if you don't like it, leave. etc." Let's say we all love it and want it to run fair and equal to all. However, when our board is bordering on shady activities and selective punishments and spending our reserves willy nilly, we must bring it to the attention of all owners because S-bag belongs to all owners.
What the shady management was doing was to spread a spin on the folks who are working hard to bring out the illegal activities of this manbod as if they are "bad" people. Nothing could be further from the truth, this forum and the people who run it are simply trying to keep accurate information flowing and to help some of us who have been singled out and treated terribly by the manbod. They are good and intelligent people who care deeply for SLR.

More folks need to "keep it real" and I also agree with your comment! Thumbs Up!

This Forum is intended to be an outlet for ALL opinions--however more-or less- informed. However, those with less informed opinions need to be prepared to be cH allenged. The vision of this Forum is primarily "educational and informative--and in the process it is also social and sometimes very entertaining.
If "those of you with differing opinions" believe in the competence of BOD and Management Company, then take a moment for thoughtful reflection to cite the evidence of competent operation of the park and and lawful adherence to the laws!
Everyone is welcome to express him/herself and this is an appropriate outlet for that. But, those with throw-away opinions unsupported by any facts must do the work of demonstrating that their opinion has a basis in fact or performance or their opinions will not taken seriously by other Guests.

It is part of the checks and balances both Canada and the United States were formed around. Dialog needs to be issue related, not personal attacks on one another. MAY WE GO FORWARD AND PROSPER.

OK....I just bought a car and it broke down. I don't like it so I will leave on the side of the road.
Sounds stupid doesn't it. So does that other statement about leaving. We all have invested SLR. I don't like seeing the waste of money on chain fences, green polls and signs to keep me out of something I have paid for. Oh and lets not forget the money wasted on lawsuits that could have been prevented! Doesn't anyone THINK anymore? Do you think I am just going to turn my $500/quarter in and not ask questions? This is my SLR and my money and I have every right to ask and get PROPER information back. The truth needs to get out and you need to know what is going on. It's called COMUNICATION.
Those that want to stick a finger up their butts and ignore the on going issues, feel free, but I have had enough and we all need proper information.

Those that want to stick a finger up their butts and ignore the ongoing issues, feel free, but I have had enough and we all need proper information. This is the kind of turnaround I like to see, someone speaking their mind and keeping it real. Say what you think and don't worry about offending the ''thin skinned" that hide from what's really going on in SLR.
Great post!

I choose not to let IT ruin this day or any other days in my life. Her ouster/transfer/resignation was an uplifting thought for a few brief moments and this is disappointing news, to say the least. This is one instance where the Gossip was actually valuable as it gave a lot of people a few brief moments of happiness and did not hurt anyone!
