Dear Board Members, Eric Angler, and the Monarch Club Advisory Committee, 
 

Recently decisions have been made regarding the coffee talk groups meeting on Wednesdays and Saturdays that are very confusing.  The groups learned in a Newsletter from Eric Angler that the Saturday Coffee Talk meetings were to be discontinued and the Wednesday meetings were to be restructured to include talks by staff.  This group has been meeting for over 15 years and we have all enjoyed our time together as most retired people do when they get together to share stories, drink coffee, and meet and greet new people in a community.  There is a camaraderie that develops between the old and the new members. To find an announcement in a newsletter with no explanation and with no input from the Coffee Talkers themselves seems autocratic.  Why weren’t we asked for our input or given a reason for the decision. We would have appreciated being a part of the decision.  This shows total disregard for how the Club Management is devaluing its members.  A lot of decisions have been made recently that show a disregard for our community’s atmosphere and traditions that have developed over the years. It is certainly not the community that many of us expected or were told it would be. 

 

We are hoping that someone will sit down with us in the very near future and explain why decisions have been made and discuss any options to keep our Coffee Talk groups together as they have been for many years. If our interpretation of Eric’s newsletter message in italics is not accurate, then maybe he should take the time to meet with us and correct any misunderstandings.  If he had done that in the first place it certainly would have eliminated any misinformation and would show that management does really care about our community’s membership. 

 

We look forward to talking about this further.
