Items from Members
Member Gary Zechel was recognized by R. Karbon and
spoke to the Board on the topic of “Image” of CCR. The
main subject matter of his concern dealt with terms used
frequently to refer to the amenities offered to the
membership and the false “Image” these terms often carry
with them. The point is that many terms do not
accurately reflect the “brand” we should be striving for
at CCR.
Member Ralph Mayer asked the Board what their process
would be for hiring the next Manager. R. Karbon
indicated the Board would announce how they will
proceed in searching for the next Manager of CCR before
the next Board meeting.
Ray Karbon read a letter from member Dan Ferguson
regarding his support for the Board, Management and
current operations of the Ranch.
