contacted the president of the Rotary Club about the situation. Here is his response:
Quote:
I am sorry for the difficulty you encountered during your exiting the our Chili Cookoff event yesterday. Your situation was passed on to us by several other attendees at the event and I want you to know that our Rotary Club members who organized the event will be reviewing these events during an "after action" meeting to be held soon. The Villages Event Staff were in charge of the traffic control entering and exiting our Rotary event. They will be part of this meeting and I will be sharing your comments with them. This is the first time we have held the Chili Cookoff at the Polo Field and like anything new we found issues we need to fix. It is very unfortunate that you and many others had to be inconvienced by the exiting process. If we are unable to rectify the parking and exiting problem we will have to seek another venue to schedule our event in the future. I will be more than happy to report back to you after we have our meeting. Thank you for attending our event in support of the 50 charities that our Rotary Club supports throughout the year.
I would have expected nothing less from this or any other organization with a major fund raising event. I did not attend so could not attest to the problems others experienced.....thats why I posted the email address.
The point being we can come on TOTV and b%$#* about things and nothing will happen to change a situation. If you think the powers to be are sitting around reading TOTV looking for somebody complaining....it ain't gonna happen.
Seek out those responsible and share your concerns with them, then when you get a response come to TOTV and share your story.
