Bright's Creek Responses</div>

<br /><br />Sending out our very first post on our very first blog. We ask for everyone's patience as we and other novice members learn the ins and outs of blogging. We welcome any tips from seasoned bloggers. <br />
<br />
We received quite a few replies by email and phone. We thank you for all your kind words and for sharing your thoughts and concerns. We will not be blogging emails received as we feel they are sent confidentially. However, whomever wants to speak publicly can blog it directly or post their e-mail. If easier for you, email us what you would like to post and we will post for you. We will only post emails you give us permission to post.<br /><br />The general theme of all responses is an overriding concern for the lack of communication. In fact some members started a LinkedIn group. We have invited them to post the particulars on this blog. <br /> <br />We have heard many comments from members which we do not want to post due to the fact it is hard to verify the information. All members, however, are free to post their own concerns for all to read and to comment on. There are many rumors regarding BC, most likely due to the fact that the members has been kept in the dark for so long.<br /> <br />Please forward this information on to all members so we can have a well rounded discussion of all members. Everyone's input is important. We also welcome comments from PHL and PAR.<br /><br />David Dawson & Yolanda Ludington<br />Originally Charter Members <br />Lot # 209A<br />Harrison Twp, MI <br /><br /><br /><br /> Yolandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066558529646818172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437936336632867936.post-39660819749799208642013-03-16T18:47:00.002-04:002013-03-18T19:46:34.856-04:00Opening Letter<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
To all concerned,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My wife, Yolanda, and I are attempting to facilitate
communication with all involved with Bright's Creek Golf Club. We have forwarded this email to all email
addresses we had available to us, management and member. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We feel there has been an insufficient forum for members to
hear, voice, and share information regarding the current and future state of
the club. We have made several inquiries to Bright's Creek regarding this concern,
but no action has been taken</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the phone calls placed with Bright's Creek, my wife asked
for live and/or recorded webinars for those, such as ourselves, that could not
attend the meetings. This request was denied.
She also had suggested the creation of a web page or other link/blog to direct
members to and allow them to voice their thoughts, ideas, and concerns openly
to all, with no results. During one
call, Yolanda asked for updated email addresses of all the members and was told
such email addresses were private and could not be given without violation of
the person's right to remain anonymous.
Responding to this, Yolanda suggested that management send out an email
to all members allowing members who had no issue with privacy to have their email
addresses made accessible. This suggestion was acknowledged, but no action was
taken. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In reviewing our old documents from Bright's Creek, we came
upon an the original Membership Book for 2006.
That Membership Book included everyone's name and email addresses and
also their mailing addresses and phone numbers.
We would like it if the present management/owners could provide all
Bright's Creek Club members an updated membership book. It would also be helpful if it included each
members lot number or Bright's Creek address and membership status. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We've also been concerned about the lack of representation
for each and every member of Bright's Creek, regardless of where they
live. I previously sent emails to Mr.
Mays, the Association Manager for Town and Country Property Management. I had suggested that the Advisory Board needs
to be representative of all its members and not just local members/homeowner to
be a fair and successful. In this modern
communication age, it would be fairly easy for a person in New York or Ontario to
voice their opinions. No response was
ever received from Mr. Mays with respect to those emails.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to the 2006 Membership Book, Bright's Creek has
members in 21 states and the District of Columbia, along with two additional
countries. Approximately 132 members
reside in North/South Carolina and the remaining 100 members reside in the
other 19 states and countries. It is my
opinion that having only local members/homeowners on the board as advisors is
an arrangement doomed to fail. We
believe input and votes from all members throughout the country is the judiciously
responsible approach to proper resolution.
Unfortunately, we all have different opinions, yet we all need to be
considered and united.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Through the past years we have been flooded with new information
from many different sources. At this time, we are under the assumption that
Preserve Homes and Land has purchased all of the Bright's Creek
properties. We want to know who will be
handling the management, and to be provided with an updated directory showing
the title and contact information of the members of the Property Owners
Association, Staff, Golf Club, Realty Sales, and other Bright's Creek entities to
be provided for all members.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We would like to suggest to owners/management that a private
forum page be added to our website for members only. Formatted in such a way that the voices and
concerns of all members can be voiced and viewed providing a free exchange of
opinions an ideas at all times. The goal
being a complete and honest flow of information to all for all to view</div>
