HSVPOA Luncheon Protest Planned

This is a peaceful protest, we will carry protest signs, we are NOT protesting any realtor going to the luncheon. We are protesting the use of our assessment monies paying for the luncheon. We will stand on common property and not on Mr. Jones property. Please stand with us. This is a great opportunity to keep our cause alive, that being bringing attention to our dissatisfaction of the CEO!

Andy…this IS the right venue because it’s relevant information ( thankfully received through Cheryl Dowden’s meticulous reporting) and because there will be media present. I’m surprised by your comment that any protest will make Property Owners look silly. I still vividly recall visiting MANY HSV businesses during the birth of the WTP grassroots movement and being politely ignored. You know the outcome of that effort. Being deemed “silly” doesn’t bother me in the least…but being silent when an opportunity such as we have this coming Monday bothers me to my core. Hope you’ll consider changing your mind and join us. I consider you an ally in the grassroots effort to ultimately oust LN. At the very least please don’t dismiss others efforts. We’re all in this together.

Much appreciated…

Great idea – put me down for a dozen rice crispy treats….

Personally, I am fed up hearing from “ANONYMOUS”. Grow a pair.

OK Folks,

Everybody calm down. The facts of the matter are:

1. POA should have scheduled this event at a POA owned and operated venue.

2. The POA needs to be and should be responsible for getting new people nationally to know about and want to come to HSV. That means to come here for golf, tennis, fitness, pickelball, lakes, fishing, etc. And it includes buying a home or a lot here. The idea, long standing, that HSV is some kind of “best kept secret” is a major factor in what’s gotten us into the state that we are now in. Our POA, run by all you folks out there who voted for past and present board members, is solely responsible. They have not been getting the job done. . . for years. NO, IT IS NOT COOPER’S FAULT.

3. Ideal Living Magazine has some kind of contract with our POA. They make money off of us. They are a national business and they are in the business of selling advertising and magazines – nothing more. If they are somehow “contributing” to this event then you can be sure it is only because they somehow, someway, have something to gain from it.

4. Our POA under the present leadership and for the last many many years has failed to move the needle at all on attracting new residents and traffic to our venues. They failed with Village Land and Homes. Now they have a new idea which is SELLING buyer LEADS which may come in to our Realtor community. That’s right, SELLING LEADS. So they are having this lunch to solicit participation from the Realtors so the Realtors can PAY OUR POA FOR LEADS. PERIOD. Will the program amount to anything? Who knows?

5. Realtors work hard for their money. They are ALL, let me repeat ALL, self employed. Whatever you see out there, their marketing, their sales offices, their shiny new cars – whatever it is, IS, because they created it themselves – from scratch. They don’t have “employee benefits packages” or 401k plans or employer “matching”. If they don’t sell they don’t get paid. They all are on their own nickel. Therefore, the idea expressed above that they should shoulder all the marketing for the Village is totally erroneous. They will be, in fact, PAYING POA FOR LEADS ON POTENTIAL BUYERS. Key word here is: POTENTIAL. No guarantees.

6. Lorri Street has every right to protest bad actions by our POA. Those that show up with her have the same right. Frankly, it is a freedom given to us by the founding fathers of our country. Whether you happen to like Lorri or not the further fact is she has done a tremendous amount for the Village bringing to light many of the previously ignored issues and failures of our own POA.

Thank you, Thanks to Lorri, Thanks to our Realtor community. Despite the poor choice of venue, let’s all hope this new POA plan works.

Fair warning to all HSV residents, the CEO, and BOD. My 2020 mission is to leave no stone unturned. This includes financial transactions, digital communications, GPS locations of your cars, cell phones, images, and unsavory documented handshake deals by the CEO and the BOD. In the hack world, this is referred to as scorched earth. I hope you all wrote it on pen and paper, the burned it or used carrier pigeons or smoke signals, if not…it’s mine. I’ll take my 20 years of computer education and put it to good use so I never have to hear my parents talk about the CEO or BOD again. Bruce force bot shall commence. Good luck! May you fair well and may it all be in the residents favor. – JTR
