How can there be nothing in the June Del Mtg minutes about closing UCO meetings to residents, and kicking Sunshine to the curb? If its not in the minutes it doesn’t exist, right!

nsasigint@comcast.netHi Elaine,
Simple answer; The King has decreed that no mention be made of this issue.

Of course this matter was discussed by Phyllis Richland at the Delegate Assembly in June; therefore, the Minutes as presented are incomplete and should not be accepted without correction.
