NOTES:  This meeting was a total waste of time for BOD members and owner attendees.  WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED?   HOW ABOUT SOME LEADERSHIP?
(1) STILL no open forum as part of the meeting agenda.  Unless the open forum is on the agenda and is conducted and recorded as part of the official BOD meeting it is a frivolous waste of time. 
(2) STILL no updated Rules & Regulations.  The U.S. Constitution was written and approved in less time.  LET’S GET ON WITH IT FOLKS!

All corrections and comments would be appreciated

BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO - BREAKING NEWS!

There are two matters of interest circulating through the BCC whisper cloud:
  1. Re-establishing an official BCC Newsletter, and;
  2. Increasing dockage fees.
There can be no question that a news letter is a splendid idea.

Increasing dockage fees has, so far, been a matter of opinions with no dollar and cents facts or cost/benefit analysis.  All parties involved would do better to suspend the windy declamations and do some research.

In any case, our roofs still hang on by a few rusty nails and the Board of Directors slumbers on...  along with most BCC owners.  WELCOME TO HURRICANE SEASON!
