How do I warn other people away from a club? Not as a vindictive move, but honestly. I won't mention the club here, but this was my 2nd season in the club and the Pres & VP were up to shady dealings. Such as:
1.) After talking to other club members, they were charging us all different dues. Sometimes with a $250 difference.
2.) Collecting cash at various times when different members were around for putting down gravel, but the gravel never came. And I am talking about members giving $200 or more for this gravel, on the spot because they trusted these guys.
3.) One member got kicked out because he refused to take his buck to the Pres' taxidermy shop.
4.) The Pres admitted to one of my guys he turned some of our members into the Game Warden for baiting or "enticement" (kids hunting during bow season had literally 3 pears on them), then come to find out he's getting $100 for turning in 'poachers' every time he does.
5.) Lying about the number of members, amount of land leased, and how much per acre he was charged for the lease. He said $16/acre was what he was charged, but the owners said $11/acre - I understand making a profit, but is this excessive? He was paid for the food plots put out separately. Never gave us a map of the property even though we kept asking for it.
6.) Lied about 550 acres that he said another club leased, but really it was land he received money for that he failed to pay the lease on. The property management company for that section said they'd tried to contact him, but he was in Iraq fighting for our country (lie), and they were waiting until he got back before doing anything. Other than just being dishonest, this is a dishonor to our veterans.
There are other things, but these are probably the most egregious I know of. The question I have is this:
We went down this past week, only to find a SIGN at the campsite stating: "All Campers, All Equipment, All Stands, etc. must be removed by January 23, 2011 or they are FORFEIT. Thanks, 'The Management'."
Is this even legal? The other members we saw down there said the sign was put up just before Christmas (so I'm guessing this is something like a 30-day eviction notice). But no one in the club has been notified in writing or verbally by the Pres or VP. They are both avoiding phone calls or contact at this point. The VP was in camp this week while everyone was out for the morning hunt, but he was gone by the time we got back.
I got the story this was not the 1st time the Pres has pulled this. He'll dissolve the current club, then start a new one doing the same stuff. I would like to warn others. How can I best do that?
