Perhaps one can understand why an individual (The original poster) would be bitter. It appears that after a lot of hard work, there was never a complete and understandable reason given for the final rejection. If the facts contained in the original post are to be believed, there was just a sudden end to correspondence.
"A series of e-mails had been sent to Barbara Vesco – Entertainment, Sonny Resmundo – Construction, and Mackie Mccabe – Hospitality requesting a meeting to review the installation and construction details associated with “The Wall” to make sure everyone understood the specifications and show them that there would be no damage to the Polo Field. NO RESPONSE.
The Villages Entertainment Department, The Villages Construction Department were again asked to relook at “The Walls” installation and speak directly to The Vendor so they would fully and completely understand that there would not be any damage to the Polo Field and that there would be no need for $21,000 for sod replacement, and again explaining that the Polo Field was the only viable location for this event. NO RESPONSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would anger me too.
Now, a question!!!! Is this traveling wall a "for profit" enterprise on the part of some entrepreneur? The original poster uses the term "vendor" when referring to the wall. I searched the internet and can't find any information about the actual structure of Vietnam Combat Veterans LTD. If it is a "for profit" venture on somebody's part I can't be so supportive of a community backed program.
When I was still working, I joined a group called "National Association of Radio Talk Show Hosts." When I went to the national convention, I found out it was a private enterprise run by a woman who had no radio background at all.
