The bulletin board: no love lost.
Where: Most of us walk by the bulletin board in the garage and pay it glancing notice. Over the past few days, it has been a source of controversy and mystery.
What: During the past year, one of the residents volunteered to keep it up to date with formal condo association notices and community notices of interest. Faithfully, they kept it up to date. Given how hard it is to find volunteers, we need to respect their efforts. That is why I am at a loss to understand why the condo board or one of its members has acted to "take-over" this job.
When: Suddenly one day during the past week, the bulletin board case was opened and all contents removed. The Condo Board minutes were posted in its place. (I don't know what else is posted.) The volunteer who had been servicing the bulletin board was never informed that they were "relieved". It is much like going to work and finding your replacement sitting at your desk. "Oh, didn't they tell you that you were fired? SURPRISE!"
Why: What confuses me most is how and why this was done. No explanation was given. Was it a result of a board decision? or Someone acting alone? In either case, the act was at minimum rude. We are all residents which in our world makes us all equal.
How about a little courtesy?
My fear is that this will become our standard operating behavior.
