There seems to be some issues with this boards resignation statement based on the spokesman’s comments:
“ We have become increasingly concerned with the organization's direction, which has, in our view, strayed from its foundational principles.
Our decision is rooted in a fundamental disagreement with the board's current approach to governance and priorities. We have witnessed a troubling pattern of internal conflicts and a disregard for the established bylaws, leading to significant distractions from the core mission of serving our players. We also have serious concerns regarding financial oversight and the lack of a clear vision for the club's future.”
1) how can this board be upset with the direction of this board? These same people resigning are the exact members setting the direction?
2) internal conflicts? Again, they are referring to the same board they run!
3) financial oversight? I found out this board implemented a $20 fee for any pickleball player who uses any of the boards function. What’s concerning is that it seems the board started getting inquiries on what that fee used for and the board did t know how the money is spent. I hope all boards or organizations within the villages are accountable for any charged fees, that seems like a very reasonable request from the heads of an organization

This organization is a stand-alone, non-profit not directly associated with the Villages. Somehow, The Villages rec organization gives them priority access to take over the pickleball courts for their use. What a great set-up - free pickleball courts and priority times and take in money from corporate donors and more! What a sweetheart deal.
