We get asked this question from time to time and it is a good question. Our goal is to help MCA Homeowners understand the MCA’s ownership of the sports and dining complex which it purchased from The Meadows Country Club in 2018. We found that any attempts to have a rational, constructive discussion about MCA’s…

A video of the meeting is not yet available but when one is we will add a link here. Our comments below only cover certain items we think are noteworthy. We don’t recall if it was ever formally explained at a prior Board meeting, but the Aviva Liasson (Jerry Lazar, who is an MCA resident…

Reminder of the upcoming MCA Board meeting next week. It will be at the Meadows Community Lifestyle and Wellness Facility, and probably via Zoom as well. Make sure it is in your calendars to attend.

An example of one would be National Golf Foundation. What are the upsides to taking this approach? What are…

We hope you’ll watch the videos if you weren’t one of the 250(!) MCA Homeowners who attended the meeting in person or via Zoom. It is the best way to get the truest picture of the meetings rather than relying a summary. The MCA Board did unanimously approve the $250,000 loan to TMCC, to be…

On Monday Nov 11 the MCA announced a 1 hour “Workshop” prior to the 2pm Board meeting to allow residents to ask questions about the proposed $250,000 loan to TMCC. Holding this sort of meeting to allow Residents to have an open dialogue with the Board is a very positive step and we commend the…

Reminder of this week’s MCA Board meeting at the Wellness Center Thursday Nov 14 @ 2pm. The MCA has not sent out any notice via email as they did that for the Special Meeting.
