The purpose of the MABT is to bring members together towards transparency for our club from 2010. Members voices should be ringing past the politics of the committees, boards, and other personal interests. After all, we all ‘own’ the club.
Thank you to those who have written posts for the site. We got experienced members on operations, hospitality, nominations, F&B, finance, as well as board members contributing. Who would have guessed all these members would all be working towards clarity again in 2020? Frankly, we all have better things to do.
Most members were perplexed that despite voting down a loan, the board thought it appropriate to do a re-vote, just one month later. With an all out propaganda machine in our lobbies playing videos telling us to vote “yes” on something that was already rejected.
Based on our members social media groups, as well as various member meetings around Tokyo, things are looking good. It looks like a bigger NO this time. Be sure to vote ‘NO’ on a loan. We support our club, and are happy to approve whatever necessary. However, we have to have clarity on getting a loan that could result in losing our facility to a bank if not paid back.
Let’s stay positive and hopeful that people with related experience and guts will take up leadership roles in our club. We’ve got a lot of know-how in our membership.
