I. SPECIAL “MEMBER CALLED” MEETING ON MONDAY, JANUARY 4TH

On January 4th, Monday at 7PM please be at the Local to
voice your opinion.

Please plan now to be at the special meeting called by concerned
members about the potential sale and the Local’s methods
in regards to the sale.

Concerned members called for a special meeting to
address their concerns on the building sale and the Local’s
conduit in regards to the sale.

There were three areas o concern to be considered:

1) Nullification of the Ballots and the reissue of said ballots
with a totally clear meaning, not the duplicitous ballots we
were sent.

We were informed the the Local would call that Motion out
of order. Seems after some research that once ballots are
sent they cannot be recalled and must run their course.
How convenient…

2) The delay of the sale until members are fully informed of
all aspects of the sale. Who benefits, who get the money, who
oversees the money, etc.

3) Guarantee that all letters and comments sent to the Local
about the sale, pro and con are immediately printed on the
Local’s Website AND in the next print issue of the Overture.

We need your voice and your support!

Please be there.

===================================

II. COMMENTS

I am glad that the special meeting will request information
regarding money. Will any officers of the local benefit
financially from the building sale? I state the obvious that
that would land them in jail. But I wouldn’t put it past one
or more when so much money is on the table. It may be just
too much to resist.

————————————-

The realtor stands to make at least around $192,000
(2.5% of $22m, with a 70/30 split with the company).
From what I understand the L47 realtor is a local L47 member.

[EC: Yes, ONE of the realtors from Hilton and Hyland is a
Local 47 member, violinist and RMA Member, Darius Campo.
Some have called that a conflict of interest.

Any thoughts?]

————————————

Comment:
Our building is prime real estate. There are so many other
ways to make up any ‘short fall’ with this property. There
needs to be real, successful, accomplished business people
employed to run this local. Every other suggestion is a joke.

One Response to “SPECIAL MEETING / COMMENTS / EVENTS”

    My thoughts are that the local member/realtor should donate his entire post-tax fee to a music school or music education program. Or something similar. It’s s blatant and offensive conflict of interest.
