Q&A 2007 review from the annual meeting minutes of the MGL

It has been a year since the last Annual owners meeting so I thought it appropriate to reflect on the issues presented at the meeting and the progress made on them.

Some movement has been made as a return on your investment in the Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa. Last year “Owners” requested that Boyne present to them, a breakdown of the packages offered by Boyne so that owners have a clear understanding of the package system.

A year of owners consistently pressing the issue time and again had inadequate results until the announcement in the Annual meeting notice, which explains Brad Childress will be giving a presentation on revenues and packages.

Now I realize it is has been a whole year since we asked for the explanation but that’s about par for course around there. When was the last time your boss asked you for a project and after 10 months, accompanied by several requests, you turn in a product that is so poor that your second grade teacher would not provide a passing score?

Seriously, I hope Mr. Childress represents his bosses better than they represent themselves.

Now last year a great suggestion was made by an owner L.F. and he suggested “Top Management “ and the New Board of Directors get a list of questions from the owners and try to get them answered.

I do not know if “Top Management” and the New Board ever got together but I don’t remember any survey or questionnaires from either. Maybe, they’ll get together this year and address your concerns, then again maybe not!

Now L.F. also suggested that if we do not like the answers to sell our unit. Some owner’s have tried and to date only former Boyne Real estate Agents have had any measure of success. I will not count Foreclosures, Short sales, or “trade ups” as success. Now if I am misguided here please let me know by posting in the comments. A Mountain Grand Lodge success story would be uplifting.

Finally, for those that wanted to sell their units a former owner J.P. suggested that owners should be able to put signage inside of their unit advertising the sale and persons to contact. I guess the Board and Boyne forgot about that issue.

On the bright side there is always this year!
